Remington S5500 Digital Anti Static 1 Inch Ceramic Hair Straightener, Multicolor

Anti static works

Bought this Remington 1″ Anti-Static Flat Iron with Floating Ceramic Plates and Digital Controls, Hair Straightener, Purple, S5500 for $29.99 and free delivery. Was just looking for an affordable but efficient straightener to get me by as I forgot to pack one. However this specific straightener blew my mind as it out preformed all of my high end, ridiculously expensive brand name straighteners (that range in price from around $250-$600) in every single way possible!

For context I have long, thinning, baby fine hair and purchased this for myself. To say I wasn’t expecting much would be a huge understatement…Wowza was wrong! This Remington 1” straightener offers an LCD screen so you can have the precise heat temperature you need, comes to temperature in 30-60 seconds and holds it, has a button that needs to be held down for a few seconds before powering on and off, you can “lock in” the temperature you need so that you can’t accidentally turn it way up or down, does not rip out any hair, has a clasp to close the two plates together for easy storage, has a 360 swivel cord with decent length, straightens my hair faster, easier and better than any other I’ve tried and leaves the hair looking soft and with a healthy shine. It does cool fairly quick but please make sure it’s completely cool before putting it away or on any surface that can easily burn and keep it far out of reach from wee kids.

Grabbed my Mommy’s hot curling iron when I was a wee girl because I wanted to be a big girl and do my own hair. Absolutely knew that I was never allowed to touch Moms curling iron but felt that I knew how to use the curling iron and would not get hurt…Ended up burning/singeing off a good section of hair and burning the side of my face pretty badly. Luckily my parents got me to the hospital straight away, had an amazing doctor who treated the burn and showed my parents how to use the medications at home and by the time i entered high school the skin had healed so well you’d never know I was burned. The worst part was that the section of hair burned off was pretty close to the scalp so I had to walk around with the worlds most bizarre, odd and ridiculous hair until it finally grew long enough to match the regular hair length. Lol. Good thing I don’t have a single memory of the incident or treatments or becoming a walking embarrassment. Only the memories of my Mom and Grandma telling me all about it.

As the plates are only one inch, I was concerned about how long it would take to straighten my entire head. But the smaller plates (small sections) are far more efficient and easier to use. Can straighten and style my hair for work in around 10 minutes at the absolute most from the time it’s plugged in. Much better than the previous 20-30 minutes just to straighten my hair like with other straighteners! But the best way to prove how amazing this wee hot hair tool is…my two teenage daughters (19 & 17) prefer it over their own beloved (ride or die) straighteners that they’ve since parted ways with and absolutely love every single aspect of it. Each asked if I would get them one at the end of the last school year as a reward for excellent grades. My daughters also use this product as a curling iron and waver. They easily create any size curl and any amount of tightness. The sides of the plates are rounded so it curls quickly and easily without getting hair stuck slightly under a plate accidentally and having it painfully ripped out. Used as a straightener or curler the style you created holds and lasts while keeping frizz away and creating the appearance of healthy hair people want to run their fingers through!

I’ve been trying to think of a con for this straightener but there truly isn’t one. The best I can come up with is that it did not come with a heat glove or carrying sack or small silicone mat that functions as safe place to rest the hot tool onto and also wraps between and around the two plate heads to protect it and as a carrying bag. But in all honesty none of that was advertised or stated saying it came with additions or free gift kinda a thing. This tool is so good and priced so incredibly well that Remington doesn’t need the typically subpar additions or gifts to convince someone to buy this product. The enticing extras aren’t needed to trick your mind. Also the colour isn’t my favourite and I’m not sure if it’s available in different colours to be honest. But when it comes down to I really don’t care what colour this straightener is as it’s how it works that really matters!

Very highly recommend this straightener!! But don’t sleep on it as who knows how long it will stay at this awesome price! I always leave honest and fair reviews about my purchases, so I waited a few months before writing this. With three people using it very regularly not one single issue has come up and it works like a dream! Hopefully this information and personal opinion review helps you with the decision.

It’s a wonderful product as expected.

El producto es de más calidad que lo que cuesta. Funcional. Muy buen resultado y deja brillante y sedoso el pelo.

Performs its function, heats up quickly!

Heats up fast, has temperature control but the plug is not even.
