Remington S5500 Digital Anti Static 1 Inch Ceramic Hair Straightener

I had been researching hair straightners for the last month or so and I must say I was impressed with this product! I received it in the mail today and just finished using it because I wanted to make sure it worked! I was a little skeptical at first when I got it out of the box and picked it up b/c it was very light weight but it really does the job! I have had another hair straightner that was 2 inches by Remington and I must say it didn't heat up near as quick as this one did.

My own thinning white chevelure does not provide the ideal test-bed for this new product. However my journalist daughter Lucy Bryson has beautiful golden tresses, and she has kindly agreed to do the testing and let us know. It sounds pretty good to me, but Here's Lucy (between quote marks)

`These straighteners are a fantastic product for the price. Slim and compact, they heat up extremely quickly, making them a good buy for anyone who, like me, tends to do everything in a bit of a last-minute rush.

The straighteners have quite a few nifty features, not least of which is the fact that you can control the heat setting very easily. There is a digital temperature display, and you can boost or reduce the heat depending on your preferences. It's advisable to use a hair protection product even at the lower temperatures, though.

Another handy extra is the heat-proof pouch which comes with the straighteners, so you can store them straight away without...Read more
