Remington S2900 Ceramic Pearl Mini Hair Straightener Review

Customer Ratings:

I am probably biased about all Remington products. I have the 1 inch Wet 2 Straight recommended by a friend, and I instantly fell in love. I was looking for a travel sized straightener to bring with me and was very impressed by this purchase.

It heated up instantly, and wasn't so hot it damaged my hair. From the Wet 2 Straight temperature settings, this Mini Straightener is around a 15-20 , not that high, but perfect on the go . It is perfect for bangs and short hair in that you can get VERY close to your roots without scorching yourself. It's a perfect compact size and has ample holding space as to not burn your hand.

My hair feels very smooth after straightening , my mom even thought I had put on some straightening oil, maybe it's the pearls :D

I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering buying an on the go straightener.

Notes: There is only one temperature setting and there is no "close lock" on this device

Thanks,

D.

Remington S2900 Straightner

Narrow plates for directed straightening. Excellent heating system, no damage to curly hair. Heats quickly and is very easy to operate due to reduced size. Reduced overall size, makes it easier to straighten hard to reach areas, or bangs in front. No Frizz remains

ive tried other 1/2 inch irons and they usually last a few months at MOST. ive had this one for the past year and a half and wow does it last. the "remington" logo is fading away by now due to the oils in my hair and hands but the iron is still strong! recommend this 100Xs!

oh also i bought this at target for like 14bucks. it went on sale quick and its a little depressing to see it more pricey on here.

Honest reviews on Remington S2900 Ceramic Pearl Mini Hair Straightener

If you're looking to get your short hair straight, this will do the job, however:

This straightener only has one heat setting: ~392 degrees! That's nearly twice the boiling point of water! While this will certainly straighten your hair, it will also severely damage it very quickly (in as little as one use) in the hands of someone who does not know what they're doing. The ideal use for this product is for people with hair that is no more than 3 inches long, and perhaps up to six inches, but any longer and you should definitely go with a wider straightener that has lower heat settings. In the other reviews some talk about how their hair looks glossy because of the "pearlized coating" of the straightener. In my opinion this is not the case. The extreme heat is what is making the hair straight and sealing the cuticle of the hair, making is look more glossy. This is the initial result, and can be the continued result, but only if the hair is not overly straightened and is also cut often (at least once a month but more ideally a tiny trim in the middle).

Those things said I like this straightener and use it daily. My hair stays straighter, longer with this than it does a wider model and it's easier to use as I have hair that's only about 2 inches long. I haven't noticed the handle getting too hot as some of the other reviews have said, though it does get a bit warm which only makes sense.

So again you can get great results but only if you know what you're doing and take care of your hair. Look up tips online for how to straighten with high heat.

I have fine, wavy hair and was looking for a VERY lightweight straightener because I am physically disabled and have strict lifting restrictions. This straightener is absolutely perfect for me. It is extremely small and lightweight. The cord weight seems to be in proportion to the straightener itself (i.e., not too heavy or bulky). The unit heats up very quickly, although the temperature itself is not adjustable. The carrying case is wonderfully compact and handy. My only two qualms with this straightener are 1.) After it has been on for several minutes, the handle becomes uncomfortably hot and 2.) The on/off switch is between the handles, which means your fingers get close to the hot plates when turning it off. Therefore, I would recommend this straightener for travel or for individuals with semi-fine to fine hair. As for the pearlized shine on my locks, I have not noticed any difference.
