I will be blunt. This is not the best straightener around; however, it works decently and is very cheaply priced so it does the job well enough though there is significant room for improvement. I much prefer my old HSI straightener that I had previously ordered off of amazon a couple years back, but unfortunately it died a few weeks ago. Having short hair now, I just needed a straightener that would do the job and not make a dent in my piggy bank. This thing will straighten your hair, but be aware that you get what you pay for and it does not glide as smoothly through your hair as you might hope, and it sometimes leaves a crease where you first place the iron. All in all, however, it is a good iron for the price.

So I have been looking for over 2 years for a straightner that compared to the CHI in quality but not price! And this is it! Gets hot very quickly, only have to go over my hair once and it is straight as a board. I have tried so many other brands and nothing works like the Remmington. I go to bed with my hair wet, get up the next morning its super wavy and frizzy and after 5 minutes my hair is straight. I would buy this product time and time again!

Best Deals on Remington Digital Anti Static Ceramic Hair Straightener

I needed a flat iron to travel with, so I bought this sucker at Target. I already have a Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Moisturizing and Conditioning Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener, 1" (the blue one) and love it, and since I didn't see that model in the store I bought this one. What a cheap piece of crap, it does not compare in the least to my other one:

--This thing stinks, literally, when it's on. You will think you forgot something on the stove.

--It says that it has floating plates (plural). That is a lie. Only one plate floats and the other one is rigid. Also, you need to really squeeze the iron hard to get both plate surfaces to meet completely. Otherwise they only meet at the tip and snag your hair.

--The plates don't glide well to begin with and are prone to snagging! (see above)

These are problems that I have never had with any other flat iron. Ever. I don't care how much it costs, this is a piece of crap at any price.

Honest reviews on Remington Digital Anti Static Ceramic Hair Straightener

I've used this straightener only a few times and I already have split ends. It destroys your hair. Before, I used another of Remington's straighteners and loved it. Do not buy this one it's not even worth the $15.

I got this for my girlfriend 2 years ago based on the huge number of positive reviews. I wasn't expecting a lot form it based on the price, but was really impressed.

The verdict she loves this thing and has used it almost every day! Here are the reasons why:

-------------

(+) Heats up very quickly compared to other irons

(+) Stays hot after multiple passes

(+) The temp controls are helpful, making this work with fine or thick hair

(+) The shape and size of the iron make it ideal for both straightening and curling.

(+) It works perfectly as curling iron because of the rounded edges and small size, it's easy to turn and curl.

(+) It doesn't dry out her hair, she only uses coconut oil for heat protection and some henna to condition and shine.

(+) The cord is long enough and has a swivel where it attaches, so it's not going to get loose or break.

(+) The price, I mean come on... under 20 bucks.. it's impossible to beat.

Cons:

-------------

(-) It's not going to last forever, but that can be said about the high end irons too!

She got two years of use out of this straightener before the temp controls on it stopped working it is stuck on the default temp and can no longer go to low or high temp settings. It still works at the default temp.

For the price it seems like two years of use is pretty good, considering it is a small plastic appliance that gets very hot and is used almost every day.

I ordered her another one and she is happy to have the temp controls working again. Her hair always looks amazing, and this little iron plays a part in that.

Conclusion:

--------------------

I have no idea why some of the recent negative reviews have popped up and been voted up for this product, but in our experience this is the best all around hair styling tool you can get for your money.

If you want to see how to curl with this, just do some videos searches for "how to curl with a straightening iron" and such, many of the videos will feature this exact iron.

Don't let the naysayers fool you and don't get suckered into paying 10x as much for an iron that will probably break in about the same amount of time as this one. If this one does eventually break, the replacement cost is so low you won't even sweat it.
