Customer reviews and comparisons
The straightener has amassed over 35,000 reviews on Amazon, with 80% of them being five-star ratings. Many customers claim it performs 'just as good as ghd' straighteners, which typically cost well over £100. One reviewer stated, 'I’ve used GHDs since 2002... but I can honestly say that this Remington Shine Therapy straightener works better on my hair, straightening and curling it more quickly.' Another added, 'This is hands down the best straightener I’ve ever owned at this price point – it beats models I paid 3x more for.'
Features and technology
The Remington Shine Therapy straightener features ceramic plates infused with Moroccan argan oil, which is emitted onto the hair as the device heats up, moisturizing strands and adding shine. It heats up in just 15 seconds and offers nine temperature settings ranging from 150°C to 230°C, allowing users to adjust based on hair type: lower heat for fine or coloured hair, mid-range for normal hair, and higher heat for thick or curly hair.
Additional features include a 60-minute automatic shut-off for safety, a turbo boost function for quick styling, and a heat-resistant pouch for travel. According to Remington, a consumer blind test on 60 respondents showed that the straighteners gave 86% more shine compared to participants' own high-street versions.
User testimonials
Shoppers have praised the straightener's performance in damp conditions. One reviewer noted that after using the tool, their hair remained 'much straighter and glossier' even after exposure to light rain, unlike previous straighteners that left hair frizzy. Another customer said, 'I got this Remington Shine Therapy Straightener on offer, so it was a bargain... it beats models I paid 3x more for, and I use it every single day.'
