Remington S8590 Keratin Therapy Pro Straightener

Many people have said these are better than GHDs, I personally have never owned a pair but I can say these straighteners produce results as, or even more, outstanding than GHDs. My previous pair of straighteners were by Amika (often present at stalls in shopping centres) and although I have been using those for many years now, these are a vast improvement. For example, heat up time is really as quick as it says it is (15 seconds on the lowest temperature) and it produced better results in a quicker time at 160 degrees than my Amikas at 200 degrees. Less time consuming and saves on the heat damage! I have, in my opinion, quite thick and frizzy hair and therefore wanted a straightener known for its great performance so started looking for GHDs. But after seeing the huge difference in price and little difference in features and reviews, I bought these and have not looked back since. A mistake I made was to start off straightening at the highest temperature as I assumed that would give the best results but despite the perfect results anyway, it left a horrible burnt smell in my hair for around a week which was more noticeable when washing. So gradually I went down to 160 degrees and have not had to use a higher temperature since or straighten a single section of hair more than once. Because of the flexible plates you can also curl /wave hair really well. It leaves static-free hair, no pulling and has a helpful 'bleep' when its ready to be used. Leaves a really nice soft finish to the hair without feeling like its done too much damage.Buttons are ok; it takes longer than usual to select the temperature you want because it automatically goes into the moisture sense mode when switched on and then you have to lock it into the desired temperature so there is no real simple 'on/off' feature to it. However, definitely worth the hassle for the price and results and only bothers lazy people like me! These buttons however also allow for more control over how its straightening hair, so its still useful. The pouch that it comes with is a nice way to store it and I often use it as a heat proof mat. Would definitely recommend this product if you're looking for a high quality straightener but don't want to pay for the letters GHD written on them!

Was originally looking for a set of Remington Pearl straightners, after reading a superb review in Good Housekeeping magazine. Found a set on Amazon but offer linked to this newer version, so took a look. These were also on sale and offered brilliant value for money and came with a very high spec and a long 5 year guarantee, which really sealed the deal for me. All three of my daughters use GHD's and have had various degrees of success over the years. None of their sets have lasted anywhere near 5 years. These straightners are light and easy to use. Narrow blades give good access to hair near the scalp and a smooth action through hair lengths. I have very thick curly/wavy hair which is cut in a graduated bob and i use my straighteners every day to keep the shape smooth. As with other reviews i also noticed a plasticy smell when they first heated up but it's not so bad that i would say it affects my review of this product. I haven't noticed an increase in shine over the weeks i've been using them, as per the claim referring to Keratin deposits from the blades, but neither have i experienced a deterioration in my hair's condition. i love the fact that you can select a temperature to suit your hair's condition etc which i don't think you can with my daughters GHD's. Also there is a moisture sensor which apparently adjusts to moisture levels inside the hair shaft. Unfortunatly there was no instruction leaflet with these straightners but it's pretty straightforward. Can't think of a single downside so far.....price, heat control and features, auto cut-off and 5 year guarantee plus a heat proof mat, all for a lot less than GHD's, what's not to like!!! Plus they straighten just as well as all the leading brands i've ever tried...I'm thrilled to bits. What a bargain!

I bought these after checking out many a review of different straighteners, my current GHD's were starting to go wrong, well they were 10 years old! So I thought I would get a new set. They arrived in the morning and I opened straight away to check them out. Firstly the packaging is good and there is a small pouch for putting them, great for when going away and need to put them in a case or bag. After firing them up onto the hottest setting (I have long, thick hair) I took a section of my hair and wow, poker straight and smooth. They glide much easier than GHD's which means they work quicker as you don't have to keep going over the hair. My hair was completely straight after about 5 mins and felt in really good condition. I was ready to go, OK I only needed to nip to the local shops, but it was a fairly damp day, not raining but moisture in the air - this is when my hair normally goes horribly frizzy. When I got back home and checked in the mirror, my hair was still perfectly straight, no frizz at all. I am super impressed with these straighteners and the fact they are considerably cheaper and in my opinion considerably better than GHD's or Cloud 9's I would highly recommend. They also come with a 5 year guarantee which is always a bonus. Buy them, they're very, very good!

These straighteners are o.k. but the strip running down the centre tends to catch my hair in it somehow. I think these are better than the straighteners I was using before inasmuch as you can tell exactly how hot they are and you don't keep turning them off all the time as I did with my old ones because of where the controls are on these. Now I have been using these straighteners for some time I would definitely NOT recommend them. I have tinted blond hair and have been using straighteners for over 15 years and I have never seen the ends of my hair frazzled before. I do not know why this happens as I use them on a lower heat than I normally would - 160

I bought this as a replacement for my old pair last year in May. The look and feel of the straighteners were great and the heat proof mat was useful. I thought the plates glided through my hair very smoothly and the straightening quality was great. As for the keratin smooth technology I perhaps did notice a slight improvement in health and shine of my hair but I'm unsure how much of this was actually down to the straighteners. Possibly the only fault with the design I found was the bulkiness made it too big to do any sort of a curl with them, obviously it's not designed to do that but I know people prefer curling with straighteners. I was slightly disappointed when in June this year they started cutting out and took three/four attempts for them to stay on, then I found after this they didn't heat up to the lowest temperature for about 20mins, which was very frustrating. I expected them to last longer than a year but they have been reaching high temperatures nearly daily so I don't know if this is a reasonable amount of time to last. After they got progressively worse I decided to ring Remington as it was still under the 5 years. I've read a lot of reviews where companies have not upheld the guarantee saying it was the customers use of the product so I was dubious. However they were very helpful and I sent it off, free post, where it had an electrical fault and they sent me brand new ones. The benefit of buying through Amazon is when they ask me for proof of purchase I could just print a copy off the Amazon account instead of attempting to find a paper copy. Obviously it would have better not to have to do this but if you are getting a decent set if straighteners guaranteed for 5 years I think it's good value I just hope they don't break again within the near future.

Bought for my daughter Good item worked well on her thick hair

Purchased these upon the sad demise of my original GHDs, which (understandably) took exception to being caught up in my Labrador's tail, then bounced off a tiled floor, before landing on the garden patio. Anyway, in fear of having to be seen in public looking like an escapee from an asylum, I hastened to Amazon in search of a bargain priced replacement. As luck would have it the Remington S8590 Keratin Therapy Protector straighteners were the 'Deal of the Day', pausing only to contemplate the favourable reviews, I clicked on '1 click ordering'. In true fairy tale style The Amazon Fairy ensured magically quick delivery. Within 24 hours I was running these beauties through my coarse, dry, middle aged hair. Reader, I was transformed! My locks were smooth and silky, my size 16 jeans were suddenly too big, my worry lines disappeared...I looked incredible*. This is one bargain which is worth the money. I cannot recommend these too highly; grab a pair whilst they're available. One day they will be sold out. *Disclaimer. Only the bit about my hair is true 😃😘!

These are by far the best hair straighteners I've had and this is coming from someone who have very frizzy hair so I have to straighten my hair every day. I've been using hair straighteners for many years and have had different brands throughout the years (Philips, ghd, babyliss and many more), about 5 years ago I received these exact straighteners as a present and was really impressed by them but sadly 2 days ago they broke, the wire snapped in the lead somewhere but until that happened I had no issues so I decided to order same ones. I would have 5 star rating but the only issue I have is that when the straighteners arrived I was surprised that it's European plug rather uk one and nowhere in description it was mentioned that so I will return these, I don't tried this particular product due plug so can't really compare if the one I had is the same as these.
