These salon-style straighteners are heaven-sent and will effortlessly glide through your hair. With Ceramic, Diamond and Teflon® coated plates that give improved durability, they provide up to 75% smoother straightening performance with less snagging.
Delivering a top performance in one stroke, the high, even heat prevents hot spots and leaves your hair soft, silky smooth and sinfully luxurious. Its fast 15 second heat up facility enables these straighteners to be ready for action instantly. Too good to be true? Definitely not - this is the hair appliance marvel you've been waiting for - giving you the stunning hair results you deserve, in no time.
What makes the Wet2Straight Slim 230ºC Straightener so special?
• The answer is clear... the solution to difficult to manage hair is to work on it when wet. This innovative pacesetter features Thermo Ceramic heating technology for quicker, kinder, straighter and longer-lasting results.
• By drying as you style, you remove the need to blow-dry hair as well. Gentle results are assured by reducing the amount of heat entering the hair fibres. Excess water evaporates through the vent holes while remaining water particles are locked into your hair leaving it feeling softer.
Packed with highly effective features, the Wet2Straight Slim 230ºC Straightener operates at a wide range of temperatures (160ºC-230ºC) so you choose and control the heat - meanwhile a clever key lock can be set to prevent accidental temperature change. It also features a stylish digital display.
Thanks to its worldwide voltage, you can take this straightener anywhere. It has an auto 60 minute shut off facility so you don't have to worry about leaving it turned on. And there's more... a plate lock for safe storage, a heat boost for a quick shot of hot, 3 metres cord and a stylish black heat-resistant storage pouch.

It's the fastest, most results-driven product I have ever used, with stunning end results. Because you are straightening the hair from wet to dry, the high heat from the plates dries the hair much quicker, making it easy to use and faster to create your desired look.

shine".

Do you have thick, curly hair?
Remington understands that we all have different hair types, and, just like your skin, your hair needs to be treated with the correct products to suit your individual hair needs. Remington has become the first electrical brand to understand the importance of true hair care by segmenting appliances to tailor to your particular hair type.
Thick/Curly hair takes a little more consideration than other hair types. It has a lot of natural body but can be resistant to change. Internationally renowned trichologist, Tony Maleedy MIT says: "Curly hair has a definite loopy "S" pattern so the cuticle layers don't lie as flat and it tends not to be as shiny as straight hair where the surface is smooth and reflects the light". Maleedy goes on say: "Commonly, people with curly hair blow dry their hair straight to make it look sleeker, but when the air is humid the hair quickly becomes frizzy & curly again. This is because when hair takes up moisture from the air the hair will revert back to its natural shape rather than the one which has been imposed upon it by the heat and stretching of blow drying it".

Remington's rich history and heritage has built a name synonymous with innovation, style, quality and endurance. For almost 75 years they have been at the cutting edge of design and fashion in the hair care world, creating top of the range products that reflect today's need for fast and reliable technology. Remington continue to be one of the best selling and most trusted hair care brands available, with a reputation for excellence, variety and outstanding design.

Amazing salon standard results - best i ever used!!!
After reading reviews on the original wet to straight, straighteners , i purchased these at 50% off , thanks amazon, so not only a bargain but fantastic , fast , hairdresser standard results!! Did not believe they would be so much better than my slim ceramic £100 a pair straighteners. These will not disappoint you, i have lots of course wavy and unruly hair, it never looked smooth and sleek after i had blow dried it and straightened it myself, until now!! Not only do i not blow dry it, saving me getting arm ache and over heated, but i just wash , leave for a while to air dry a little , then straighten, very quick to do also with the wide plates. Highly recommended. Well done Remington!!
Perfect for ALL
I got these straighteners only a few days ago and I've only used them a couple of times so far but WOW. I'm in LOVE with them. This is a big thing coming from someone who vowed NEVER to use hair straighteners. I had this big hate for straighteners, 1: because I was told that they really damage my kind of hair and 2: because my friend is addicted to hers and she takes about 3 hours to straighten her hair and her hair is SHORT (she's obviously not using these straighteners).
I have the thickest afro hair, it is usually SO hard to tame of a morning, I literally spend hours just trying to get it to sit properly, let alone be frizz free (I gave up on that idea a long time ago). But after using these straighteners for the first time my hair went from brittle and dry (even with tremendous amounts of softening products) to silky soft and straight as a board. I LOOOOOVE IT!
After 24 hours it still feels full of life and soft to the touch and yes, even tossing and turning in my sleep didn't affect my new super straight tresses. Obviously it wont last forever but even two days is record breaking for my hair.
The steam vents on the straighteners are genius, unlike my mates pair (the 3hour ones) they dry and straighten your hair at the same time, but direct the heat away so it doesn't burn your hair, plus it's steaming it at the same time.
Any person with afro hair will know that steaming is a MUST for healthy hair and these straighteners combine steaming, straightening and styling all in one go (they double as tongs if used in the right way) so not only are you saving a bucket load of money (and electricity, out the window goes the hair dryer) but you're getting uber luscious locks with none of the nasty chemicals usually needed to straighten.
In addition to all this, what I was MOST impressed with was the safety and time it took to straighten my hair. My hair is medium-long and it took me all of 30 minutes to straighten my whole head AND I went over it about three times (not necessary, but I used one going over to dry, one with sleek and shine product and another to style).
The safety mechanisms are AWESOME. This is the FIRST time I've ever straightened my hair and not one burnt finger or ear (my friend ALWAYS has burns from her straighteners). It has a thick plastic covering and because the plates are so wide it's hard to even get your hands near the heated part. Not only this, but the temperature buttons have a key lock so you don't accidentally turn the temperature up or down whilst straightening (unfortunately for me I only realised half way through the first session so it was slightly annoying as the buttons are RIGHT where you hold it, but I'll know for next time).
Overall, I think if these uber straighteners can work so well on my ridiculously rebellious hair, they can work for anybody. Considering I'm a hair care/straightening novice and found these straighteners a no brainer, then I think they'd suit any and every body. I can't WAIT to show off to my friend.
I'll have to get her a pair for her birthday or something, because three hours straightening your hair (plus, burnt hair and burnt fingers) is just unacceptable when you have quality straighteners like these, that are cheap as chips, with a 3 year guarantee (a DEFINITE plus) and that give you salon worthy results in literally minutes.
GET A PAIR NOW!!!
It does what it says on the box!!
Bought these to replace an old pair of straighteners that were more than three times the price of these. I have shoulder length, thick, coarse and wavy hair. Despite some initial cynicism ("Doesn't this mean I'll be boiling my hair??")these really are the business. Took my hair from quite damp to dry in a relatively short time, nice and silky smooth, and without even a trace of the scent of charred hair clinging to me! Would have liked a little more information in the box - I was wary of using serum on my wet hair before styling - but liked the LCD window and the audible beep, and the fact that I can set the temperature. And absolutely loved the look and the fact I am having a REALLY Good Hair Day!
Several months on: Still delighted! Find they give the best results on quite wet hair - again, counter intuitively! I wanted to add that my hairdresser cannot believe the improvement in my hair's condition. BTW, I discovered how to lock the temp by accident - you push both the + and - buttons which I didn't understand from the printed instructions, but that just might be me being dense! Have also noticed that the shower of little bits of broken hair I experienced with my old straighteners (even after using heat protection products) is a thing of the past.
