Remington Salon Quality Professional Collection, Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener with Titanium and Tourmaline Plates, 2 1/4 Inch

Heats up quickly, love the plates, and very easy to use. My hair is both thick, coarse and very wavy/curly. Many of the straighteners that I have used in the past required multiple passes on the same spot to really get it straight. Not on this one! Love it! The plates are a great size and don't quite go all the way to the edge so burning yourself is not an issue. Love that you can lock it closed and love that it has an auto shut off feature.

I bought this iron to replace my ancient Vidal Sassoon straightener that isn't dual voltage (I'm moving to the UK so this is needed).

The product was just as pictured. It also warmed up really quick as advertised. My immediate complaints about this straightener are as follows:

1) When squeezed, the plates don't completely line up. I might have gotten a faulty one.

2) While there is an edge to protect you from burning your hands, the sheer weight of this product caused me to burn my finger within a minute of use by my hand sliding down.

3) While the product is effective in straightening, it has a weird feel to it like it's not actually holding on to your hair during use. Again, it still works and this might just be something I need to get used to.

All in all, 3 stars. This straightener does what it's suppose to - straighten, and in a quick amount of time. It doesn't give the glossiness my other straightener did...Read more

I don't know if this is how all of them are, or just the one I received, but the ceramic plates are just slightly bent so they don't touch when I close them together. So when I put my hair between the plates it doesn't grasp my hair because the plates don't touch - there's a gap there. So I give this product a big THUMBS DOWN. I have a Conair that I purchased in 2003 and it's just now starting to lose heat, so it lasted quite a while! I don't know why I decided to try another brand. I went out and bought another Conair after receiving this worthless thing.
