While most people love GHDs I have always been really pleased with Remington. My daughter's hair fell out and grew back curly following medical treatment around 4 years ago and my friend, who has thick curls, bought her a pair of Remingtons as this is the brand she had been happy with and she said that they had also outperformed GHDs in consumer tests. Those straighteners do a brilliant job of taming my daughter's long, thick waves as well as making my fine hair look super sleek and shine, the problem is that we had only one pair of straighteners in the house and we would often end up arguing over who got to use them first. I had had my eye on the Remington wet2straight .  Read the complete review

I tend to have a new pair of straightners every christmas and these were one of them. The difference between these and my others straightners is given away in the title, they are wet to dry straightners, which means that yes you can use them on wet hair. The design of these is similar to other straightners I own except that they have air vents to let the steam out when using them on wet hair. The temperature can be set from 150 - 230 degrees the heat is shown on a digital display and you can choose the heat you want in 10s. For wet hair it is advised you use 190 degrees up. They heat up within 30 seconds which is quick. To use you towel ...  Read the complete review

I asked for these straigtners as a birthday present. I have had Wet2Straight before and always found them to be very good. I like the fact that you can use them on wet or dry hair. These straighteners were a lot smaller than my previous pair - I had the wide plate ones last time. I was dubious at first about the amount of time it would take to straighten my hair - it is long and thick - and I imagined the smaller plates would double the drying/straightening time. I am very pleased to admit I was wrong! In fact the straighteners took less time than my previous ones. I think this is due to the fact that they heat up to 230 degrees. Very hot - so you ...  Read the complete review

I was staying at a friend's house for a party when I noticed that one particular woman had thick, poker straight hair. I asked her what she used to get such an amazing finish. " Me Remmies!" she exclaimed. She was a scouser, so you have to imagine the accent. She then went on to tell me that her normal hair resembled the character of 'Annie' and I realised that her hair straighteners were some sort of miracle-workers. Inspired by her story, I set out to find my own pair. Her pair of Remmies were ancient and paddle-shaped but by the time I went looking, the only pair I could find were the new slimline ones. I cannot remember where I ...  Read the complete review

When you have "crazy curly hair" Like myself and hear the words straighteners your heart kind of sinks and the thought of your hair being mauled by a pair of hot metal plates that do not take kindly to any kind of knots and frizz makes your hair "stand up". When my mum asked if I wanted a pair of Ghd's for Christmas my instant reply was " no thanks I won't use them enough for the money spent on them" That was that , or so I thought. That Christmas aged 16 I was quite excited about what presents lay beneath the tree. When I opened these beauties I was surprised at the words WET! The thought of straightening hair was barbaric , surely you ...  Read the complete review
