Smooth, Shiny Results and Easy to Use
Really pleased with these hair straighteners. They heat up quickly and glide smoothly through the hair without pulling or snagging. They leave the hair looking sleek, shiny and much less frizzy. The adjustable temperature settings are useful for different hair types, and the controls are simple to use. I also like the overall design and how easy they are to handle when styling. Great value for money compared with more expensive brands, and they do exactly what I need for everyday use. Overall, a reliable hair straightener that delivers lovely results without any fuss. Would definitely recommend.

11 months in and still love it! This is amazing! Better than GHDs!
I got this Remington Shine Therapy Straightener / Styler on offer, so it was a bargain. I’ve used GHDs since 2002, having tried pretty much every model since it started. My current GHD is the platinum + model, and I have also tried their newest model, the Chronos, but I can honestly say that this Remington Shine Therapy straightener works better on my hair, straightening and curling it more quickly. I have naturally wavy/ fluffy hair, which is quite fine but there’s a lot of it. It goes very frizzy as soon as there’s a bit of drizzle/humidity and I can never blow dry it anywhere near straight. When it fluffs up, it looks like a lion’s mane. I’ve only been using these for a few days, but am blown away by how great they are. The plates are also longer than ghds, which I find makes them easier to curl/wave with, and quicker to straighten with. When switched on, they heat up quickly, though the temperature display seems to flash for a couple of minutes (I haven’t timed it), which I believe indicates they are still heating up. However, I feel they work great even when the display is still flashing. When they switch on, they default to 190 degrees, so if you want them cooler or hotter, you just need to adjust with the buttons. I find 190 to be perfect for my hair, though I haven’t tried it cooler. It glides through my hair so easily. I can’t believe how quickly and effectively it straightens my hair; it has never felt softer or looked healthier. It’s great at curling/waving too, producing long lasting waves for a natural beachy look. There’s a button to lock the plates closed when not in use. This is a great idea but I do sometimes find it a little stiff so I tend not to use it. It’s not something that’s featured on any of my ghds before, so I will probably just continue to use the silicone sleeve I have from my ghd platinums, which holds the styler closed. If I straighten my hair with this, it remains pretty straight until I wash it again (sometimes just needing a straightening top up if it’s been tied in a ponytail. I needed to straighten my hair daily with my GHDs regardless of whether it was a hair wash day or not. The results are so much better with this than my ghds. I should also state that I have used cloud 9s too, which I didn’t think were that great. I can honestly say that this is the best straightener/styler I have ever used. I think I’d just assumed that no one would ever make anything anywhere near as good as ghds but I suppose 20+ years have passed since GHD infiltrated the market. Before spending loads of money on a top of the range one, give this a try, especially if it’s on offer. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Edit: I’m now nearly 8 weeks in, and my hair still loves this straightener. I wondered if the honeymoon period would wear off, but it hasn’t! And the best of it is, I haven’t had to do anything to my hair (other than brush it) since I washed it (and blow dried and straightened it) two days ago. That was unheard of before I owned this :) Edit: May 2025. It’s almost 11 months since I purchased this and I still stand by how amazing it is. The condition of my hair is the best it’s ever been. I don’t need to re straighten or wave my hair every day like I did with my GHDs; it stays straight or wavy (however I have styled it) until it’s washed again. And the condition of my hair after washing and drying is much better than it’s ever been. My hairdresser has noticed a huge improvement in my hair too.

Excellent Performance for Smooth, Shiny Hair.
My wife is really happy with this hair straightener. It heats up quickly, glides smoothly through her hair and leaves it looking sleek and shiny. The temperature settings are useful and it is easy to use. Overall, a great product and good value for money.

Great intro to straighteners if you're not left-handed!
This is my first entry into hair straighteners. I have long straight hair but recent encroaching grey hair has made my hair wavy & difficult to blow dry. Works well & heats up quickly. It has lost one star because, like many things, it's designed for right-handers. I've had to use it upsidedown (the black side upwards) to avoid accidentally pressing the heat buttons. A solid product & great value, especially for someone new to straighteners. It would be great if it came with a heat pad to rest it on during use but I've used a small oven pad.

**Surprisingly Better Than Expected – Amazing Value for Money!
I recently bought the Remington Shine Therapy straightener, and honestly, I dare to say it performs even better than Dyson and GHD combined! The results are genuinely impressive. It straightens my hair beautifully, leaves it smooth and shiny, and delivers excellent performance without the hefty price tag of some of the more premium brands. Of course, the overall build quality and feel aren’t quite on the same level as Dyson or GHD, but for the price, I really can’t complain. The performance more than makes up for it, and I’m genuinely impressed with what this straightener can do. Sometimes, you really don’t need to spend a fortune to get fantastic results. If you’re looking for a reliable straightener that delivers great performance and excellent value for money, I would definitely recommend giving this one a try!

Excellent Quality 100% recomend
Wow completely blown away by these straighteners so glad I took a chance on them. I have fine bleached hair past my shoulders ive been growing and nurturing for last 2 years. So anxious not to cause more damage. Kept the straightens at 200° literally glided through my hair easily, no snagging and incredible finish- shiny and healthy looking. Absolutely delighted I didnt spend a fortune on high end straighteners these are perfect for me.

Excellent straighteners for the price – smooth results
Excellent straighteners for the price – smooth results I bought the Remington Shine Therapy Straightener (S8500) after using higher-end brands in the past, and I was curious to see how they would compare. Overall, I’ve been really impressed, especially considering the price point. They heat up quickly and the digital display makes it easy to choose the right temperature. I like having the range of heat settings, as it means I can adjust depending on my hair type or whether I want a quick straighten or a more polished finish. The plates glide through the hair smoothly without snagging, and I’ve noticed they leave my hair looking sleek and shiny. The argan oil-infused ceramic coating does seem to make a difference in reducing that dry, static feel you sometimes get with cheaper straighteners. They’re also lightweight and comfortable to hold, which makes styling quicker and less tiring. The floating plates help them adapt well to sections of hair, giving an even result without needing to go over the same section repeatedly. Pros: ✔ Heats up quickly with digital temperature control ✔ Smooth glide with no snagging ✔ Leaves hair looking shiny and sleek ✔ Multiple heat settings (150°C–230°C) ✔ Lightweight and easy to handle ✔ Good value for money compared to premium brands Cons: ✘ Not quite as ultra-smooth as top-tier salon brands ✘ No automatic shut-off timer on some versions (depending on model) ✘ Can take a few passes on thicker hair for a perfect finish Overall: These are a really strong mid-range straightener and perform far better than I expected. While they may not fully match the absolute top-end salon brands in one pass, they come impressively close for everyday use. For the price, they’re excellent value and leave hair looking smooth, shiny and well-styled.

I love these!
Blown away by how good these are! My GHD’s that I’d had for 15 or so years stopped working, decided to do some research on best hair straighteners, and these came up as a budget choice. So I decided to order them and see what they’re like rather than spending lots of money on a new pair of GHD’s! Omg, I’m so glad I did. I have really thick hair so bought the wide plate straighteners, I literally straightened my hair in less than 5 minutes! And the day after my hair is still poker straight. Couldn’t recommend these enough!

Highly recommended
Love love love this. So quick and easy to use and effective. Highly recommend. My hair is poker straight in no time, no tugging or breaking and it stays straight and glossy all day even in hot humid tropical weather. Remington really knows what they're about

Rien à redire
J'avais dû mal à croire aux 2 passages uniques pour lisser. Et bien c'est véridique. Tout ça à 190º. Sans brushing, au sèche-cheveux, c'est Jackson 5 direct donc il me fallait un lisseur qui fasse le taff surtout sur cheveux frisés et sans les rendre encore plus secs. Et bien il lisse au point d'avoir des baguettes si je fais 2 passages ou si j'augmente la température. Souhaitant avoir une belle longueur mais ne les voyant pas pousser, boucles oblige, je voulais les lisser pour ne pas perdre espoir et recouper pour un carré mais surtout ne pas y passer 1h à chaque lissage. C'est chose faite avec ce lisseur. Gain de temps incroyable. D'autre part, j'ai les cheveux blancs naturels qui jaunissent à cause de la chaleur. Mon ancien lisseur du moyen-âge ne chauffait plus assez donc je devais faire 1000 passages sans effet lissé souhaité et le cheveu redevenait jaune clair alors qu'il venait d'être soigné justement pour enlever ces vilains reflets. Ce que j'ai toujours trouvé moche avec le lisseur, ce sont les pointes ultra raides et sèches qui trahissaient un cheveu bouclé. Et bien ce n'est pas le cas avec ce lisseur et surtouuuut, il vient à bout des bouclettes de baby cheveux autour du visage, impossibles à lisser car courts et rebelles. Pas besoin de claquer 3 smics pour un lisseur. Des soins, c'est la base!

No te tomarán el pelo con este producto ;)
Mi novia está encantada con la plancha de pelo. Desde su primer uso, notó una diferencia increíble en cómo queda su cabello, dejándolo suave, brillante y con un acabado de salón. Lo que más le llamó la atención es que las placas están infundidas con aceite de argán, lo que realmente ayuda a mantener el cabello hidratado y con un brillo natural. Además, las placas son extralargas y flotantes, lo que hace que el proceso de alisado sea rápido y fácil, incluso para los que tienen el cabello más largo o grueso. La plancha tiene 9 niveles de temperatura, llegando hasta 230°C, así que es fácil encontrar el ajuste perfecto para tu tipo de cabello. Le gusta que sea digital, porque puedes ver exactamente a qué temperatura estás trabajando, lo que te da un mayor control y confianza al usarla. Otro punto a favor es lo rápido que se calienta. En solo unos segundos está lista para usar, ideal para esos días en los que vas con prisa. Además, tiene un diseño elegante y es muy ligera, lo que la hace cómoda de manejar. En resumen, es una plancha de pelo que realmente cumple con lo que promete. Deja el cabello brillante, suave y con un acabado profesional sin mucho esfuerzo. Vale la pena
