 It really does work as well as my CHI, perhaps better in some ways, good for guys too! |

I have used several straighteners over the past 5 years or so, mostly on sets. I love my CHI, and this product seems aimed at that market.
The package is nice, with a nice unisex design,and can be used for storage. The unit heats up quite quickly- plenty of heat in 20-30 seconds.
A HUGE plus for me is the digital display of the temp - I like this a LOT, because I truly don't want or need the 420 degree super hot salon setting for my reasonably short hair!
The one inch size is perfect for me, and quite easy to use. I would imagine most guys and ladies with medium to short hair would also find this to be just perfect.
I am not an expert but I dont think it (the size) would be ideal for those with longer curly hair- it would work, but might be rather time consuming-better to get a wider unit.
As for ease of use, it took me perhaps 2 minutes to get the look I wanted. It was quite easy to get to the scalp without any burning or 'the sizzle effect' which is never a good thing.
Quality control was great, as the plates fit exactly as designed ( on some inferior units they dont) and all the buttons functioned with ease. This seems to truly be a top-quality unit.
Instructions are minimal, and rather oddly printed on newsprint(considering the rather deluxe presentation of the box) - they assume you know what you are doing if you buy this one!
What I loved was the temp control and LCD display you just hit "+" or "-" to adjust the temp! In this respect it wins over my trusty CHI.
After using it this morning, my hair stayed in order all day -and it was HUMID here! no touch-up required. I first used it at 645am,and as I write this it is 745pm - still looking great.
The cord is a bit shorter at 6ft, which I like as well. It has a burst of heat function (turbo) that worked well too. For those that travel it has dual voltage, which is also nice and unexpected at this price level.
AND... because no review ( from me anyway) would be complete without some strange multi-use of a product- YES the Remington WILL put a crease in your pants and give a shirt sleeve a razor sharp press as well.
( what can I say, learned that wardrobe people on a show...!)
Aside from that unintended use, I do give this five stars for ease of use , high-end packaging, and the ability to select the perfect temp for your hair.
Were I not to know, I would have assumed this unit would be in the $80-100 range, if not a bit more.
I am very pleased, and to tell the truth, did not think I would like it this much. A real winner! Give this one a try. |
Excellent value for a great product!

Remington S1051 is truly a salon quality straightener at a bargain price. I was a bit skeptical though, when I saw it compared to my favorite CHI flatiron so I put it to a test. Here are the pros and cons of this iron in my opinion:
Pros.
1. The first thing I loved about this iron is how lightweight it is compared to the CHI. It was much easier to style my hair due to it's lightweight. I also like the locking feature on this for easy storage.
2. I love the digital temperature setting on this. Although, newer versions of CHI are digital with temp. settings, they are not as good a value in terms of price as this iron.
3. Finally, the iron looks professional and straightens hair perfectly in half the cost of CHI. But is it as good as the CHI? Here is where the cons come in.
Cons:
1.The power button gets accidentally pressed a lot during styling since it is at the exact place where you would probably hold the iron to style the hair. However, this iron has a hold temp. button which prevents the iron from shutting off until you press the same hold temp button again, so it wasn't such a big deal for me.
2. The iron takes a long time to heat up even upto 360 comapared to the CHI. I'm usually ready to style my hair within seconds with my CHI which heats up over 400 degrees. The end result the same but it's a lot quicker with the CHI.
The reason I gave it five stars is that it truly does style hair as good as the CHI in half the price, if not as quickly. So if you're not pressed for time, the Remington is a quality product at a fantastic price so take advantage! |

| I really don't know how to review this hair straightener other than to say it works like a charm, fits well in my hand, heats quickly and it kills my curlies when I want it to. In short it does what it's supposed to do and it does it well. |

I love the elegant look of this sleek black straightener.
It heats to 430 degrees,quickly.
It has automatic shut-off which is good for those in a rush for a quick hair fix,who may to forget to unplug it.
With tourmaline and ceramic,it won't result in a frizzy look.Hair will look fresh and smooth.
The price is good for this quality.
This is the first time,I read in a straightener manual about how to use it to make curves,swirls or flips.I'm very glad to have read that and try it out from this manual.
I am so satisfied with it and will recommend it. |
The Best Yet in Hair Straighteners.

I have tried 2 other irons and they both had their pros and cons. This one I can find no faults with. It doesn't have conditioners built in. I have found those over time start to make an unpleasant oder to the hair when used.
The titanium and tourmaline with the ceramic make for the perfect trio. It gets hot quite fast in 30 sec. It has a nice blue LCD and gives the temp and also shows bars as the temp going up like a cell phone signal.
It left my hair very shiney. I also use a hair dryer that has the same technology and even the hair brush. This does actually a better job that the salon. I love getting salon results at home. It also has some ridges on the hot end so you can grip it there and your hand will not slip.
It has an auto shut off feature that turns off after 60 min. I'm glad for that I cannot count how many times I'm out and wonder if I unplugged an iron.
It has a turbo boost too where you get a 2 second blast of 430 degrees, you press the + button and then it goes right back to where you had it set.
This is not a con but just a surprise the instruction sheet is not a little book like most products but printed on newspaper print and folded into 4 small pages.
For the price this is a steal. Other lesser brands cost more than this and you get a full 4 year warranty which is a big plus in my book. I highly recommend this iron. |
