“I upgraded to the Remington 2X Protection Slim...”

★★★★★

written by thechocolategirl on 03/01/2006

I upgraded to the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener after my Remington Slim ceramic straighteners broke down, and I was immediately very impressed.

I have thick, coarse, wavy/curly hair, and these straighteners get my hair perfectly straight, smooth and shiny (my GHD-owning friend was so impressed she kept borrowing them!). The plates are thin enough so you can get to the roots and straighten really effectively, but just thick enough so that you can get plenty of hair between them and get it done really quickly!

One really useful thing is the fact that they have a built-in stand, and heat proof spot on the tip - this means you can stand them on your dressing table without burning it! Also, the heat protection storage bag that comes with them is great because you can store them safely in the bag as soon as you've finished with them.

I've had these for about 18 months now, and the ceramic started to peel off after about 12. It's got to the stage now where they're not straightening my hair as well anymore, so I've just bought the new Remington Sleek & Curl straighteners to replace them.

Great effective straighteners, excellent value for money. Don't expect them to last forever though, but highly recommended.

“I have had my Remington x2 straighteners for a year...”

★★★★☆

written by hairlover on 26/12/2005

I have had my Remington x2 straighteners for a year and a half now and they still do the job but they have never been great, also the ceramic has worn off the plates quite a lot. They are fairly cheap but now you can get better ones for the money I think. I think the best thing to do is invest in a really solid good pair so they last ages, even though the price may be 3x more. I recommend GHD.

“Well, I got the Remington 2X Protection Slim...”

★★★★☆

written by Cheeky Munkey 123 on 13/12/2005

Well, I got the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener for Christmas, and they seemed good, becasue they heat up fast, and have different settings fro different hair types. But then, my hair started curling at the front, and flicking out at the sdies - I've used all sorts of products to try and keep it straight, but unless I don't go outside, it doesn't stay straight. This could be something to do with the straightners, but I'm not sure. a few of my friends have them to, but they seem to work fine for them.

★★★☆☆

written by rach88 on 28/11/2005

I am quite disappointed with the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener although at the time I felt they were quite cheap and value for money they are now broken due to loose wiring.

“Had the Remington 2X Protection Slim straightners for...”

★★★★★

written by HayzyJane on 17/11/2005

Had the Remington 2X Protection Slim straightners for nearly 2 years now and they are still fantastic. I have dropped them and they have been abroad with me. I use them nearly every day and only in the last few weeks has the coating on the plates started to peel off on the sides. Not a big problem considering their price and the amount of use I've had out of them, continuing to use them until christmas. Dont know if I've just been lucky but I would definatley reccomend these to anyone wanting reliable and quick heat up slim straightners.

“Ok, so I've had the Remington straighteners for about...”

★★★★☆

written by janaki251 on 16/11/2005

Ok, so I've had the Remington straighteners for about lets see 2 years, I use them about once a week, and they started peeling just recently
The good thing about this straightener, is that it works for all hair types, like mine which is quite curly, thick and frizzy, however I do use a lot of products with it, and my friend who has wavy hair uses it as well and her hair looks absolutely gorgeous!
The bag, means that I can take it around with me, and I don't have to wait for it to cool down
Also, if you do have a lot of time and use it properly, it will work just as well as a GHD
When I need new ones, I probably might 'upgrade' to GHD's, but if you do have wavy hair, and want sleek, smooth,shiny, soft and straight hair, then this is for you

★★☆☆☆

written by vwallens on 13/10/2005

The first 3 weeks of owning the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener I was extremely pleased with them but they soon developed a loose connection and now they do not always turn on. I'm hoping that Remington with replace them.

I liked the Remington 2X Protection Slim straighteners when I first got them, but now I'm getting new ones.
Only get these if you want to use them occasionally, and you have quite straight hair anyway.

“I've just used the Remington 2X Protection Slim...”

★★★★★

written by Bexley on 09/09/2005

I've just used the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener for the first time and have to say they are absolutely fantastic! As soon as I plugged them in they heated straight away,and I mean in seconds literally.As for straightening my hair, well it took minutes if that! At £28 at sale price, were £34, they're superb, I mean if I get a years use out of them I won't complain at that price. I previously had Vidal Sasson ones which I hadn't used in ages and even though the power still goes into them they just don't work at all. Considering I'll only use occasionally they're perfect for the job, I'm sorry for keeping on but I'm just really impressed, to say the least!

“These straighteners are great if you are looking for a...”

★★★★★

written by tinkz on 10/08/2005

These straighteners are great if you are looking for a pair that are cheap. They are ready to use almost instantly, and have a heat setting for different thicknesses of hair. They have a little folding stand built into them, so they will sit upright, and also come with a heatproof bag which they can be put into straight after use. I have had these straighteners around 7 months now, and the teflon has started to wear off, which is quite disappointing, but expected as they were really cheap at only £30! However I do have split ends from using these straighteners. I would definately buy a new pair, as mine are getting on a bit now, and I would recommend these straighteners, as they get the job done as good as any other!

★★★★☆

written by remington on 08/07/2005

Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener - I have had a number of straighteners over the past year and these are the best so far. I strongly recommend them to anyone, even if you have very thick hair. All my friends have them.

“Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener - I bought...”

★★★★☆

written by Ollykins on 21/06/2005

Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener - I bought these straighteners around 18 months ago as a cheaper alternative to GHD straighteners (which I simply can't afford!), and I found them to be fantastic at first. It took around a minute to heat up and they made my hair smooth and sleek and completely kink-free.

However, after a few months I found that they had damaged my hair unbelievably, and my hair is now in a really bad condition (due to a conbination of highlighting my hair and straightening it with these straighteners two or three times a week).

Also, having read the other reviews on here, I notice that other people have found the same problem that I have had, with the coating peeling off the plates - which did not happen until after a few months of using these straighteners.

In addition to this, recently I have found that my hair is not staying straight for the full day with the Remington 2X ones (to be honest, it's going curly as soon as I step out the door, although that may be because it is usually windy and there is a lot of moisture in the air where I live)

However, these straighteners are a bargain, I paid around 30 quid for mine and they've performed as well as I expected them to and have certainly lasted a while!

“This has been the 2nd time I have had to complain...”

★★☆☆☆

written by almabd on 14/06/2005

This has been the 2nd time I have had to complain about a Remington product, the first time the same problems happened, the plates began peeling & faulty lead in the actual unit, when I received the other 2x ceramics straightners directly from Remington, I thought they were very good, but I feel I've paid for a product that I can not have the full value, as this has happened again. I like the product & would like to continue to use Remington's products & I am hoping Remington will replace the product AGAIN.

★★★★★

written by Kim Osborn on 05/04/2005

The remington 2x protection slim straigheners are the best I've tried, I even prefer them to GHD's but after just 1 year of having them they are completely unuseable because they are melting and hissing, even though they have been well looked after. This however will not deter me from buying a new pair.

★★★★★

written by Donna Bradbury on 26/03/2005

I am impressed with these Remington 2X Protection Slim Straighteners. They are the best ones I have, after my first pair broke I tried to replace them and got the Morphy Richards straighteners but they didnt work as well as the Remington ones, they seemed to make my hair go static and took longer to straighten my hair. These Remington 2x are faster and sometimes I only have to do the top section and it does a good job. I'm hoping these last me, does anyone know of any good tips for keeping straighteners clean to prevent the coating from coming off. It said on the Morphy Richards ones to use cif wipes to wipe the plates, dont know if this works anyone tried it.

★★☆☆☆

written by cutiful on 16/03/2005

Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener - Started out being impressed, but now (after only 3 months), the ceramic coating is coming off one of the edges and it doesn't seem that hot. They are cheap for a reason.

I have only had mine since Xmas so just over 4 months but the wire at the joint has split which is stopping the light working and it is not heating up you can see the sparks when you turn it on you could easily get electrocuted. Shame really because before that they worked fine they were the best straighteners i have ever used and give you a long lasting style.

“I first tried the Remington 2X Protection Slim...”

★★★★★

written by DougiezBrunette on 11/03/2005

I first tried the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener at my friend's house before a Christmas Dance and I was absolutley amazed with the results. One glide smoothed my split ends down, thinned my hair out and made it poker straight. I ended up getting them for Christmas as they were so good. My old Vidal Sassoon Straighteners blew and never seemed to keep my hair straight outside. But these kept my hair straight outside and on windy days too. However, after about 2 months, they started having the same problems as my old ones and they only worked when holding them at a certain angle as there seemed to be a problem with the cable. I managed to keep them going for another week but then one morning the top end of the cable exploded and left a big hole in it. I don't know if this is just a faulty pair but my friend's pair are having the same cable problem at the moment. But as I was so pleased with the Remingtons I am away to buy another pair tomorrow and hopefully they won't have the same problem. I think they're an absolute bargain as they're about a third of the price of GHD's and are just about as good as them. I thoroughly recommend them.

I bought these Remington 2x protection slim straighteners because I have very kinky hair and when I first tried them they were fantastic, they heated up in 4 seconds and they were great I found these straighteners changed my hair to everything it wanted to be.

written by ellie100 on 17/02/2005

Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener - I bought these straighteners a few weeks ago after trying 5 or 6 pairs of straighteners from other brands, and I have to say that these are the best I've tried.
I previously owned GHD's but they don't even compare to these and these are extremely cheap.
My hair is very curly and I've struggled to find some that straighten properly. The GHD's don't even do it properly, but these get every kink and curl perfectly straight. All I can say is, "GO BUY THEM."

I bought the Remington 2X Protection Slim Straightener for the bargain price of £24.99, which was really good and I was pleased to bits as I was going to purchase the very expensive GHD'S. These are well worth the money.
