Remington D4444 Shine Therapy Dryer
by lartaaa
I've been using this hairdryer for around 3 years now and compared to others I have used it is definitely the best I have tried. There are three heat settings (cool, hot and hotter) and two fan speeds.
The feature that really stands out, however, is the shine serum that the hairdryer can spray onto your hair while drying. In ... the box comes two refills of this and you can purchase extra when you need them. Through moderate use of this hairdryer, I am still using the first refill, although I don't know how long they would last with regular use. After drying with the shine spray, the hair feels smoother and looks significantly shinier than before.
There are two main issues with this hairdryer though. The first one is that the cable is very short and therefore doesn't reach very far from the plug. This could be an issue for you if you have plugs in areas that would make it hard for you to use this hairdryer (whilst looking in a mirror for example).
Another problem is the weight of the dryer. If your hair is thick or long, it may take you around 15 minutes to fully dry your hair with this dryer, and I find my hand and arm gets quickly tired when holding the dryer above my head.
Overall, it is a good hairdryer and I would recommend it, but the short cable and weight may make the dryer unusable and unsuitable for some people.

Remington Hair Essentials CS5002 Ceramic Hair Straighteners
by FridaysArePurple
I bought these Remmington straighteners to replace some old ones from a different brand that had gone wrong. I paid about £25 for them a couple of years ago and because of the low price, initially I was worried about whether these would be good enough to be used regularly on my hair which is very thick. It is not unusual for ... straighteners to cost around the £80 mark so I felt like I was taking a bit of a gamble.
However I have had no problems with them at all. They are ceramic coated so they glide over the surface of the hair smoothly and without resistance or tugging. The manufacturers claim they heat up in 30 seconds and this is absolutely true so you don't have to stand around waiting for them to be ready. There are no different heat settings but I have found they are hot enough to get the job done but don't make me smell of frazzled hair which is the prefect result! The swivel cord and the long length of the cord (3 metres) is useful as plug sockets aren't always conveniently located near mirrors.
It would be better if they came with a heat-proof protective bag to store them in but I guess this would bump the price up. It just goes to show you don't need to be spending £80 or £90 to get a good pair of straighteners - you can get a decent pair from a decent brand at a good price! I highly recommend them.

Remington D4444 Shine Therapy Dryer
by doremifaso
I got attracted by the half price deal going on at Boots and got myself this hairdryer as it looked kind of funky and new with its integrated 'shine therapy' technology. Sounded quite interesting!
First thoughts when I started using it. This is one chunky hairdryer and quite heavy compared to a lot others out there! Would not ... recommend for people with arm/hand/joint problems or those who are generally weak.
Next the cord is not very long either. I've had many a hairdryers with long cords so I can literally walk about my room with the hairdryer still attached to the socket but not with this one.
The cartridge slots into the compartment with ease and I was looking forward to something amazing to happen when I pressed the button to release the mist. Apparently it contains Avocado Oil and Vitamins A, D & E.
Well it would've been great if I could see the product. When I pressed the button, nothing seems to come out! I even tested it on a blank sheet of paper and nothing! Not even a droplet.
When I read the description on the cartridge box it says its suppose to be a really light mist so as to not weigh your hair down but come on... it was literally invisible!
I felt no results with this extra feature and was utterly disappointed.
The only good things I can say about this hairdryer is that it dries my hair pretty fast compared to my last hairdryer. On the highest heat and speed setting it dries my thick hair in 2 minutes, although I generally just use it on the middle heat setting because the high heat can burn my hair!
Overall, I would not recommend this hairdryer for anybody. If you want something that can help add shine and nourish your hair whilst you blow-dry it then just get a regular lightweight, smaller dryer and use a blow-dry treatment/serum. I'm sure you will get much better results and less of an arm-ache!
