Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I have been pretty unsatisfied with the last two flat irons that I've owned, so I was more than willing to give this one a try even though it has larger plates than I prefer (my other two flat irons are 1" plates) and it's a brand that I have never used before. Although I have fine hair that should be easy to style, I never get the salon results at home, which makes flat ironing my hair each day the only acceptable thing that I can do. However, constant blow drying followed by heated styling is quite bad for the hair. I've also been trying to grow my hair out, and haven't gone in for a trim in several months. I can definitely see that my ends need a trim, and flat ironing with my knock-off Chi hasn't been very effective lately. Most days, I'm opting to pull my hair back so I can hide the frizzy ends from sight.
I had pretty low expectations for this flat iron; how could it be possible that a flat iron could both straighten and dry hair simultaneously? There are steam vents on one of the ceramic plates (4 smallish holes on each side of the plate), and the vents direct the moisture from your hair. The straightener can be used on either wet or dry hair, depending on your individual needs. If you are using on wet/damp hair, the light will be green (you should have the straightener's number dial somewhere between 20-30), and if you are using it on dry hair, the light will be amber.
After washing my hair, I squeezed out the excess moisture and then after a few minutes switched on the flat iron. This flat iron heats up fast--it only took about 30 seconds. Since I wasn't sure what to expect and didn't want to cause any damage to my hair, I started out with a small chunk of hair from my underneath layers. I started at the roots, carefully keeping the vents away from my scalp so I wouldn't burn myself. I was thrilled when after a few times of running the flat iron over the strands of hair that it was completely dry. From there, I moved on to the next strands and finally completed all of the layers of my hair.
I definitely prefer this method of drying/styling over my normal routine of blow drying and then straightening. I'm not sure if I save any time by doing this instead of blow drying, but I love the overall look of my hair after using this flat iron; when I do my normal routine, my ends never stay straight and always flip out and appear frizzy. After using just the flat iron on damp hair, my ends stayed completely straight. The very top layer of my hair wasn't as frizz free as I like, so I did have to use some Bed Head After Party Smoothing Cream ( For Silky, Shiny, Healthy Looking Hair ) Tigi Bed Head Hair Care 100ml/3.4oz to tame the short hairs that wanted to stick straight up.
If your normal hair styling routine involves blow drying and straightening, give this flat iron a chance. You'll reduce the amount of heat your hair is exposed to, and condition your hair while styling. The plates contain a Soy Hydra complex, which will last for the lifetime of this flat iron.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Wow, this is definitely a great product.
I have long hair that is wavy, frizzy, course and thick. I also live in South Carolina which adds to the frizziness factor. I used this last night on dry hair and it did an ok job. For dry hair I prefer my 4 inch ceramic flat iron as it fits more hair. However, today after washing my hair I used the flat iron while my hair was damp and this is where it really outshines other flat irons.
You can use this on dry hair, wet hair or damp hair, It worked best for me on damp hair. On really wet hair you have to use it 3 or 4 times on a section of hair, if it is damp it is once or twice. I pinned my top hair up and did the bottom first and was amazed at how straight and shiny it looked. Many times when I straighten my hair it still is a bit frizzy and thick in some areas. With this damp to dry iron you get salon results in a very short amount of time.
I did my whole head in less than 10 minutes which is much less time that it usually takes me dry and it looked so much better.
The product has a soy hydra complex in the wand which is supposed to make your hair smoother, and it does work. I am not sure how it does or if the soy lasts for a long time, but for my first two tries it did an amazing job.
Iron heats up almost immediately and when you are drying wet or damp hair it released steam from your hair which is less damaging.
Easy to use and a great price. I have already told my sister that it would make an excellent gift for my 14 yr old niece who has the same hair as mine.
Highly recommended.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I own or have owned numerous high-end flatirons: FHI, Chi, GHD, Sedu, etc.. I have also used many other irons belonging to friends/relatives, both high-end and budget models, including the older version of this iron which I was not at all impressed with.
The older navy/purple version looked tacky and had a cheap feel/build quality, and its control layout with buttons for changing the heat settings was poor. I received a sample of this new model to review as part of the Amazon Vine program, and I was quite surprised at what a major improvement they have made. This version both looks and feels like a high-end iron in all respects, very impressive considering the price!
Performance wise, I found this iron to work well on dry or damp/towel dried hair. I would not recommend using this or any other flat iron on soaking wet hair, it is too difficult to get the roots sufficiently dry without burning your scalp, and if you don't get the root area properly the whole thing will look bad. So if you plan to use it wet I recommend to gently towel dry or blow dry until the hair is damp and the roots are mostly dry.
Note that using a flatiron on wet/damp hair makes a sizzling sound as a result of the water being vaporized into steam; it sounds kind of scary, but flatironing wet hair in and of itself will not damage your hair any more than normal flatironing. The trick to flatironing wet hair is that you must section hair into very small pieces such that all the water can be removed in two or three passes.. if you do thicker sections then you will have to go over the same section many more times to get it completely dry and this will result in damage to your hair.
Pros:
+ Thick ceramic plate, unlike some budget flatirons which have only thin ceramic coating over the metal baseplate (You can see the thickness through the steam vents). A thin ceramic layer will result in poor heating and uneven heat distribution. This iron maintains heat well and seems to have good even heat distribution.
+ Dial to control heat settings, much easier to use than +/buttons
+ Auto shutoff
+ Nice aesthetics and build quality
+ No problems with hair getting snagged in the plates
Cons:
Cord is a few feet shorter than my other irons, not really a problem for me but it might be for some
Initial heat-up is somewhat slow at around 30 seconds, compared to my FHI which heats up in around 10 seconds
Grip area gets a little bit hot.. not hot enough to burn my hand, but enough to be kind of annoying especially at the higher heat settings
This one is mostly a matter of personal preference but I like floating plates more than fixed plates like this iron has. That said, I have never seen any budget flatiron with good floating plates, so better to have fixed plates than poorly implemented floating plates. Many high-end irons use fixed plates also, so again its mostly a matter of personal preference.
All in all, the cons are only minor issues and I highly recommend this if you are looking for a budget-friendly flatiron.
Honest reviews on Remington S7210 Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron with Soy Hydra Complex
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program My two teenaged daughters really love this product. One blow dries and straightens and one just lets her hair air dry and then straightens. They both love this iron. One has really super thick hair though she never blow dries she loves to use this on her wet hair. She doesn't notice it conditioning with the soy hydra but she uses a good heat protectant as well. My other daughter loves to style and crimp her hair as well as dry it and she really has fun with this iron.
My experience of being older than they are with much finer, thinner hair is that when I use this, I don't get the volume that the blow dryer gives me so my hair turns out kind of flat. I need that extra volume! I also find that the iron is rather hot to hold and the steam is really super hot if you get too close with your hand. My kids do not have that complaint but I find that the iron is really hot when you dry hair with it.
I think if you have nice thick hair or thick wavy hair, this iron works great. For thinning or fine hair, you can use this like a normal hot iron and style or straighten but if you get a boost from a blow dryer when drying and styling, this product doesn't add that extra volume like a blow dryer does.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I first want to tell you a little about my hair type so that you may better understand my review. I'm mixed race (Black and Irish)My hair is thick,wavy,dry, coarse and F R I Z Z Y .Length wise it's to my mid back. I generally just wash and go because it's just too much work to blow dry then flat iron.I was very interested in this flat iron because it promised that I could forgo the blow drying and just flat iron my wet hair to dry and straight!
I got great results with this iron! My hair turned out soft, silky and straight. I experienced none of the crispy "fried" results I have gotten with other irons.Perhaps that's the Soy Hydra complex that the plates are coated with.
I used this on freshly washed and conditioned hair.My hair was slightly more than damp and I applied a heat protection creme prior to straightening. Yes, there is steaming and hissing while this drying and straightening your hair but it does not seem to be as drying as blow drying and flat ironing.
I found using slightly smaller sections of hair works better than large sections. Too large of sections failed to dry quickly.Also I got better results after using it a few times...So I recommended that you practice with this iron a bit to great results. I selected the 1 inch slim size of the iron (They also sell a 2 inch wide model) The slim one is so light and easy to handle.
Now for build quality! The iron is light weight but does not look or feel cheap. I did not pay for mine so I was shocked when I found out the low selling price. What I really loved was that the plates pinch completely together! On some other irons I have used there is a slight gap (and I hate that gap)The cord is nice and long and it swivels.It heats quickly and has auto shut off if you forget to unplug it.
Now for the temperature settings... Well it's a dial and not a digital display but that's not a big deal.What I did not like is that rather than displaying actual temperatures the dial has numbers and lights that correspond to the heat settings.Numbers 20-30 accompanied by a green light for wet hair.Numbers 1-19 accompanied by an amber light for dry hair.
Bottom line :
I love the iron !My results were fantastic and I loved not having to blow dry my hair ,
