I had a set of the Remington Hair Essentials CS5002 Ceramic Hair Straighteners given to me last late last year when the coating on my set of Vidal Sasson straighteners cracked and chipped off . I used these till just after easter when I got an updated Remington set. So having used these for a few months I feel able to tell you a little about them and how to get the best from using them. Being ceramic straighteners means they have ceramic coated plates. Why do I need those you ask? Well a good set of ceramic coated plates can help to protect your hair from heat damage during use. The plates help to distribute the heat more efficiently and evenly which makes ...  Read the complete review

Before I bought these Remington Hair Essentials CS5002 Ceramic Hair Straighteners, I had owned the previous ones before they were updated. I had originally bought them when I was 18 but unfortunately they broke 3 years later. I was totally gutted when they fell out my bag and smashed on the concrete floor as I was running down the stairs. Knowing how good they were I actually wanted to buy the same ones that I had but they were no longer available to buy. I cant deny that I was disappointed as it took such a long time for me to find a pair that worked in my long thick wavy hair, so I decided to buy the updated version of them, hoping that they were just as good as my ...  Read the complete review

These were my first ever straighteners and I bought them when I was about fourteen and they still work perfectly now. They can easily produce poker straight, sleek hair after only about a minute of heating them. The design is simple, black, slim and not too heavy to move around. Their very easy to use and once plugged in the swivel cord will stretch up to three metres. You can tell easily that they are on and heating as there is a red indicator light on the side. Can even use when hair is slightly damp! The downside to these straighteners is that they can get very hot, I've burnt myself a few times! However, as the heat can get up to 210 degrees, ...  Read the complete review

Ive had these straighteners for 18 months and they have never let me down. I straighten my hair every day as without it, it waves and sticks up wildly. These straighteners are simple to use and heat up very quickly. They are also slightly slimmer than my old ones which takes a bit longer with the smaller plates but would be great for those of us who wanted to create waves or flicks in their hair. The cord is quite long and this is handy if your plug is a distance from your mirror. The heat setting is like a wheel dial on the side which can be turned up or down. I think this is a flaw in the design as it is easy to knock this and change the heat setting without realising.  Read the complete review
