Remington Wet 2 Straight 2" Wide Plate Wet/Dry Straightening Iron Reviews

Summary: Amazing!!!
Comment: I was very hesitant to buy this straightener because I have very thick, curly hair. I've used straighteners before and my hair would still be puffy and after a few hours would start to curl again. I did have a friend who owned a Chi straightener and it worked really well for my hair. I don't have the money to spend near 100 dollars on a straightener so I settled for this one. It is absolutely fantastic. I straighten my hair while it is still wet so that it cuts out the long blow drying time. My hair has stayed straight through out the day and I would recommend it to everyone. For me it works just as well as a really expensive iron but for much cheaper. It is great and now I straighten my hair much more often because it takes around an hour as opposed to two!

Summary: AMAZING iron...I didn't think it would be possible!!
Comment: I don't understand how anybody could say this thing doesn't dry hair well enough. I use this right after stepping out of the shower..and my hair is sopping wet. Just to draw you a visual, if you were to run your thumb and pointer finger down a clump of hair and water drips off, that's about how wet the hair is when I use the iron. It takes a while as opposed to doing it damp, but it dries and straightens perfectly. I have thick, coarse wavy hair (aka, the combination from hell)...this is the only iron that gets it perfectly straight, flat and even gives my roots added lift, which is something I've always had trouble with. Because my hair is so thick, it gets big on the bottom and then my roots are flat. Not anymore. I prefer this iron over my 125 dollar CHI iron. I actually am kicking myself for spending that much money when this iron is phenomenal!!

The only drawbacks are that the steam from the iron tends to burn my fingers if I hold it too close to the plates. The sizzling sound and the steam while drying makes me uneasy but my hair is NOT hot when I go to touch it a few seconds later so I'm not sure exactly how much damage it really does. Your best bet would be to use a heat protectant spray and some styling serum before hand. And last but not least, this doesn't dry roots very well so they may be wet for a little while. Didn't make any difference in the appearance of my hair...it still looked great. this is the best hair day I've had in years!!!

Summary: Works better than expected.
Comment: I live with 3 other girls in college. It's my third year, and I've lived with 2 other girls in the past as well. All 5 have used my straightner instead of there own. This guy usually stays out on the counter all year. My first year roommate eventually went out to look for her own when she moved off campus. Works better than I expected, I thought I'd have to pay $50 dollars or more for a quality straightner, I was happly that I did not. Also, it's been 4 years and it's still going strong!

Summary: This thing didn't work
Comment: I wanted a cheap straightener after the one I had been using (A Con-Air, I think) started smoking. I found it at Wal-Mart, thought the price was good, and went for it.

It didn't work. I have thick, long, wavy hair, and no matter how many times I went over the same spot, my hair would not get completely straight. Nor could I imagine this thing actually drying my hair. I used it one time and haven't since.

Maybe I just have stubborn hair or something, I noticed this thing has a lot of positive reviews, so I don't know.

Summary: Bad Advertising
Comment: THey say you can just straighten your wet hair with this - I would never do it on hair that is wetter than slightly damp. Your hair is still damp afterwards, and it looks like a bad straghtening job.
Also, the steam is unbelievable. You have to be realy careful or you can be seriously burned - I have been several times.
If your hair is very wet, it will stay hot for several minutes, and usually you need to go over the same part twice so this is not helpful at all.
I would NOT recommend this to anyone. The a.dvertising makes it seem too good to be true, and it is.
