RemingtonRES1400, Hair Straightner, Multicolor

Talk about affordable. I purchased one of those T3 hair straighteners on a flash sale that everyone was raving about three years ago only for it to end up going kaput last week. Dismayed, as I paid $99 for it on the stellar reviews from users claiming it was the best and healthiest straightener they ever used -- I hated it. It didn't properly grip the hair, didn't curl as I liked my hair to do, and was just an overall pain in the ass. The best thing about it was that it looked nice 'cus it was white and gold.Somewhere in my childhood home lies the gem of hair straighteners. Purchased off Amazon in maybe even 2007, it was during the time of Chi. It was some knock-off version I remember buying for $30 and at that time as a very young teen, that was about all of my money. It still works to this day over 14 years ago and never had I had such a great straightener -- until this one.This Remington straightener is comparable to that incredible fake iron. It grips the hair perfectly, is no frills with no confusing buttons to press to allocate the temperature. It just does what it needs to do. It curls, it straightens, and it's affordable. What more could you want? It doesn't have all the bells and whistles because it doesn't need it and it leaves your hair soft. It is chic and simple. You plug it in and it does the job -- that's all anyone could ever ask for.Great product and cheap. Save your money for all that fancy stuff. This is the good stuff.

Bought these as a spare to keep at my boyfriend’s place. They work fine but there’s a ridge around the edge of the plates, which keeps trapping my hair. I had to give up with them because they pulled so much hair out.

bought for 17 year old daughter and she wanted g.h.d but i couldnt afford them .read the reviews and bought these and she loves them and say they get very hot quickly but are just as good as g.h.d ones and very good for the money ..shes happy ..

If you are buying £12 straighteners from Amazon do not expect them to be GHD quality. They definatley do the job on my thick, wavy hair. There is no temp control, no indication of when they are ready and no way of turning them off without unplugging them but for the price they are a real bargain.

I've used these for years and they're still going strong! They're perfect for traveling although, I also use them regularly at my boyfriends (so at least half of the year). I use them happily for straightening and curling, I actually prefer the curls they give to my regular straighteners.They're a great size and work well in countries with either 240V or 140V supply. They heat up very quickly but there is no temperature control. You have to remember to turn them off as they get very hot and as far as I can tell have no timer that automatically disables them if they're left on for long periods.
