Remington - remington


Click here for more information
Love this thing. I won't wax my lip because it hurts like #@$& and I am not hairy enough to warrant that level of lip-torture. However, I don't want to be looking out the window and someone see my profile with a fuzzy lip glinting in the sunshine. So this thing is great. It mows them down without giving them a "shave" so no weird chick-shaving thing and no stubbly feeling regrowth. I have always been afraid that what my mom told me about girls shaving and the hair growing back thicker might be true. I would never shave my lip, but I will do a quick once over with this thing for a happy hairless lip. It also works great for nose hair.



Good price. I paid $12 at the store plus tax. $9 with Prime shipping? Can't beat it.

I had a MicroTouch for a few years, but that kept breaking down. I'd jiggle it, put in a new battery, and it would slowly creak back to life. But it was never very strong. The Remington Personal Trimmer looks like the MicroTouch, but the motor is stronger and you get a much more effective, though still safe, cut. It comes with a little plastic piece you can place over the razor and use it for sideburns. I just tried it on my moustache and it works great. I'd use caution here, though! My moustache is thick, and it thinned it out a little. You'll probably want to test it out on sideburns before using on a moustache. For me it's a lot handier than pulling out my old beard/moustache trimmer.

I had an older version of this trimmer that worked great but stopped working after a couple years. It never cut me even once. I bought this one and it works even better. They do break after a while so you have to replace them but they work very well.

I use mine for female personal grooming "down there". This little thing works surprisingly well. You have to work at it a bit, but it gets the job done. The two lengths are perfect. I especially like the size - it's about the size of a tube of mascara. For the price, you can't go wrong.

This item has met my expectations! I am honestly surprised that this facial trimmer doesn't leave any cuts! The thing I love about it is that it has a small side along with a larger side, its really convenient. Now I can finally say goodbye to those horrible hair removal creams! - Remington

Flattening Irons - flat iron, ceramic


Click here for more information
OK, here's what you do....buy the CONAIR INFINITI Tourmaline straightening hair dryer (it's WONDERFUL), buy the Remington T3 Tourmaline flat iron and buy some Chi Silk Fusion or Biosilk. Wet to silky straight takes about 25 minutes total if you follow this advice. After showering, towel dry hair, and put the silk drops on your ends (don't use too much---this will take a few tries). Also spray your wet hair with a heat protecting flat iron spray for good measure. Use the hair dryer exactly as intended (it's not hard at all- I don't get the neg reviews). If you have shoulder-length or longer hair, it's easiest to put your hair in two ponytails (one behind each ear) and dry the ponytails first using this dryer. Then take them out and dry the rest of your hair with the dryer. Only takes about 10-15 minutes this way (and I have VERY thick curly hair).



Use the Remington T3 Tourmaline flatiron on 410 degrees (don't pull it through too slowly---that's very hot). Then when finished, spray a glossing spray on your dry hair and rub it down. FINISHED and your hair will be BEAUTIFUL!! I've gotten soooooo many compliments on my hair since I bought these two pieces of equipment and started straightening this way. I have been SEARCHING for 20 years for an effective way to straighten that doesn't take forever or prevent me from having my morning shower. THIS IS IT PEOPLE. TRY IT!



I did not really believe the reviews on here that this flatiron is better than the 100 dollar ones but, oh my goodness, THIS IS THE BEST FLATIRON I have ever owned. I will never pay for a Chi or Solia again after using this one. It will straighten anything FAST. Unbelievable, I tell you!Remington S-9400 Tstudio Collection Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener with Tourmaline 2 1/4" Wide Plates

I have thick, coarse hair and finding the right straightener is a chore. This product would be amazing if it didn't have two major problems: 1-The ceramic plates have minimal buffer from the edges and therefore can burn you very easily. Even though quite careful and experienced with straighteners, I have already burnt my fingers twice and my forehead once. 2-The lack of a built-in (or detachable) comb makes it much harder for thicker hair to be straightened. Frankly if it hadn't been for the burning issues, I would have given it 5 stars, despite the lack of a comb. The pros are plenty, however, and more than enough to make this product close to the best salon ones, at a great price. The plates heat up very well, the heat setting locks and can't be changed or turned off by accident as in some other products (such as the Conair Infiniti straightener), there is virtually no static and the end result is silky and smooth hair.

Like many of the other reviews below, I bought this at Target because the straightener I went to buy was sold out. Since mine had died the morning before and I have not gone a single morning in about 10 years without straightening my hair, a purchase was required! I bought this one and brought it home figuring I could return it if it proved a flop...fortunately this was a phenomenal accident!



This straightener is amazing. The very first day I was impressed with its speed and smoothness since I am often let down by straighteners that fail to handle my wavy thick hair. A very quick pass or two and I was done and out the door! Later, I was shocked to receive a ton of compliments on my hair. By the time I got home I expected my hair to have returned to its normal wavy state, but again was pleased to see perfectly straight and frizz free hair. I decided to withhold judgment for a couple more weeks not wanting to jinx the product or something...but here I am today writing this review several weeks later with the same smile on my face.



I have tried a Chi and a Solia (those expensive ones that get all the hype) as well as several regular name brand ones including a Conair one (that worked alright) and the wet2straight one (that worked well, but would not last hours later) and nothing was as good as this one! I have already recommended it to all my friends!



Best of luck with the decision as I know all of these things come with a ton of positive reviews to sift through! On price and quality, I do have to say that I cannot see anything beating this one!

I had a Vidal Sassoon 2 1/4" ceramic straightener that I used religiously everyday for 6 years. This week, it died and so I needed to go out and buy a new flat iron. I would have gladly purchased the same flat iron if I could, but it's long been discontinued.



I actually bought this flat iron at Target and got to use it this morning. Compared to my last flat iron, this one just seems to glide through my hair easier. I have really thick, coarse hair that sometimes requires several passes in order to get it tamed. With this straighter, one pass and it was done. I could not believe it! It may have something to do that the plates are tourmaline ceramic vs regular ceramic, but it does heat up quickly and does a great job. Plus, it comes with a 4 year warranty so I'll be using this flat iron for a long time! - Flat Iron - Ceramic - Remington - Hair Care

Best Flat Iron - hair straightener, hair care


Click here for more information
I consider myself to be a hair product junkie and expert.You name it i probably know about, have it, or tried it. I have used a Solia Flat Iron for 5 years. She still kicks but not quite like she use to. I can't pin point it. It still gets hot but maybe not as even. Anyway I decided to try some cheaper iron just until I could splurge on another solia or comparable iron. I found this at target. The whole teflon thing made sense to me. Anyone who cooks knows the joy of a non-stick surface. IN theory hair gliding with less friction/strain would have less breakage. My first time using it. I started at around 1/2 way on the heat dial and I realized how crazy hot it was so i turned it down. Mostly out of fear my smoke alarm might go off. First Pass and I was like you have to be kidding me! ?! I am african american and my hair was in dire need of a relaxer and a deep condition. It was dry dry...that one pass left my hair sooo soft and shiny. I had some kind of shock. Then I asked myself how much i paid for this thing?? seriously?! Just get one. It's equal to any of those expensive irons minus the damage. Also, I can leave this iron at a 5 and my hair is pin straight... it smokes/steams a lot. Doesn't leave a smell or fried feeling. I think the iron reacts to left over conditioner and products in the hair and causes the smoke on the plates. I would be scared to put this thing on high. I have no idea how anyone could say it doesn't get hot enough?! Are you trying to burn your hair off? Is it plugged in? Did you let it heat up for a few minutes? There is no reason anyone should need to put 410 degrees on their hair and then to say it didn't get hot enough...



**Update-I think they are selling a different model these days...mine does not look like the one pictured. I will see if I can get the updated product and review that one as well.** Oh and I recently tried my old one after using the Sedu for awhile. When I get the updated model I will edit this review further to include my comparison to the Sedu :)**Remington S2044 Damage Therapy Ceramic Hair Straightener with Teflon Fiber Plates

I purchased this Remington after my Revlon flat iron literally blew up in my hand! I had another Jilbere flat iron as a back-up but after buying this, I've already ditched it. This one is different and I really like the teflon fiber plates. I have fine, wavy, frizzy hair and I usually have to iron twice to get my desired effect, but this iron is so efficient, it took only one pass and my hair is STRAIGHT! Iron get's very hot - heat setting was at 10 and hot. I REALLY like the feel of the teflon over a ceramic or metal surface it does seem to hug the hair better. Also has a swivel cord, to it won't kink and create an electrical hazard (like my revlon did). Controls are in just the right spot too, they don't get in the way at all. I'm glad I bought this!

I was extremely happy with this straightener until I noticed that it wasn't working as well as it normally does. One side of the iron no longer heats up. Becasue this happened 5 months after I purchased the iron, I could no longer return it via Amazon. However, I contacted Reminton's warranty department and they graciously sent out a new unit. Now this is a company that backs up their products. Highly recommended.

This lil sleek flat iron is amazing! My purpose of buying this straightener is because of its "damage control." I love my hair! It's all natural and I don't want to ever damage it anymore by always straightening and curling. This iron is gentle on the hair and doesn't break it as you pass down. I also bought this because I wanted to avoid that "burning" smell on your hair. This one is covered with teflon fiber. Now, I have never used such a thing, but I figured, what do I have to lose. And it works amazing! I put products in my hair, and even when I run the flat iron through, it leaves the scent of whatever my hair product way! It also has tourmaline which reduces the fly-aways! The max heat is 430* and heats up within 20 sec! I got it at Bed Bath and Beyond for $44.99 (probably even less had I used a coupon), and for that price it works just as good as chi or babyliss; and it doesn't damage your hair as much!

I had been blow-drying straight my naturally curly hair since the 7th grade. Well, after two (almost three) kids, I just do not have that kind of time to self-indulge anymore! Also, I live in Florida and always hated the way blow-drying would make me hot and sweaty first thing in the morning. So - I've been wearing my hair natural for a while. And, quite frankly, was getting a little tired of it. So I did a little research to find an affordable flat-iron and decided on this one. I also like that the teflon plates are supposed to be less-damaging - since I still want to wear my hair curly sometimes. I used it for the first time last night and I am SOLD! I read the directions carefully, and it actually says that it heats up in 30 seconds - which is awesome for someone already time-crunched. I have thin, wavy hair on the top of my head and thin, 1" corkscrews on the back of my head. This iron glided through on the 12 setting and straightened my entire head in about 10 minutes. MUCH better results than blow-drying + round brush + brush rollers! And no sweatiness. I also really appreciate that it comes with a lock - to keep out curious little fingers. My hair is still smooth and silky this morning after. I love this thing! - Hair Straightener - Hair Care - Remington - Straightener

Beauty And Grooming - flat iron, hair straightener


Click here for more information
I have very dry, thick, curly hair and a lot of volume too. Every few months I have to relax my curl in order to keep it under control. I also live in the tropics where heat and a lot of humidity don't exactly help my hair remain frizz free. I was very skeptical when I first bought this product because I had tried many hair straighteners and all had given me poor results. Thank goodness that I was finally proven wrong! This product definitely does what it says it will do and is very affordable in comparison to other products on the market. I flatten my hair after I blow dry it and I have finally been able to tame my wild hair into soft, smooth, silky, straight hair. I have been getting plently of compliments but most importantly, I feel happy with my hair! I have recommended this product to friends and family and they have also acheived wonderful results. I recommend that you buy a deep conditioning treatment (Redken Heavy Cream) and leave it in your for 15 minutes with a self warming cap, rinse out and apply a heat protectant on your hair (Redken Heat Glide) before the process. Your hair will be fabulous!Remington Wet 2 Straight 2" Wide Plate Wet/Dry Ceramic Hair Straightening Iron with Tourmaline

I know this review may not be very helpful to most of you but I am just going to name some problems with this straigtening iron to warn you.I have wavy hair too so some of these problems may not affect you.



-It doesn't straighten wet hair.(It actually does, but my hair is still partially wet and it becomes wavy after it dries)



-It is only COATED in ceramic, after a while of use, it eventually chips off, leaving your hair exposed to even more damage than it has already done.(I'd suggest getting a ceramic plated straightener)



-The straight hair doesn't last. After a day at school, it starts getting wavy, especially if it is humid outside.



-It does damage to your hair. Its not as bad as those $10.00 ones but you still end up with a bunch of split ends and frizzy, damaged hair



There are also good things to it too, and it seems awesome when you first get it but eventually after a short while it wears down. I'd suggest getting a little bit more expensive hair straightener that will live up to the price.

I read the reviews and was quite skeptical since I've tried almost everything to straighten my coarse, thick, curly hair. I get my hair chemically relaxed about every 9 months. But the results keep my hair still curly, just not as bad. I've used ionic hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc. It usually is an hour and a half process and me sweating half of my body weight in the bathroom! But this product eliminated the hair dryer...no sweating! It straightened quite nice! I used a comb in conjunction. That's the only thing I wish it had built in. My hair section was completely dry in the one passage. The entire process only took me about a half hour! Just make sure you condition well and use a good hairspray to ensure lasting results. I used my curling iron to secure and smoothe my ends. I'm impresssed.

I have long, moderately thick, wavy hair with a total mind of its own -- lots of product and/or putting it up seemed to be the only solution to gaining a neat, all-day style. (I'm not ready or willing to take the step of chemically straightening.) I had completely despaired of ever being able to successfully straighten my hair myself, no matter how much I quiz my stylist -- I've tried all kinds of gadgets and products that promise how easy it will be, and invariably end up with a big frizzy bush on my head that I have to pin up anyway.



Well, I bought the wet2straight last weekend, and all I can say is THIS THING WORKS. It IS easy, and it works QUICKLY too. I haven't tried it yet on freshly towel-dried hair, but may do so on a weekend when I have more time. I typically let my hair air dry for about 45 minutes to an hour, while I go about the rest of getting ready for my day, and I use a straightening product (Fructis smoothing milk). In about 15-20 minutes I have glossy, dry, STRAIGHT hair. It is AMAZING and I am so happy!



Note: there are two sizes, wide and slim. The packaging made no distinction about the difference, but a helpful sales clerk said that the wide plates work better on long hair, and the slim plates are better for short hair.

I can't believe all of the bad reviews! This straightener is awesome! I have really thin and sensitive, wavy hair, and all of the other straighteners I've used just made my hair REALLY frizzy, or even burn it! The worst part was, they didn't even straighten my hair one bit!!! This straightener is the only one that worked really well so far. I've been using it every day for a while now. My hair stays straight ALL day. It even added more shine, smoothness, softness,and even VOLUME to my hair! no other straightener has ever done that. I'm sure that there's better straighteners out there but this one works great and is at an affordable price. I would DEFINITLY recommend this straightener for ALL hair types. Personally, I prefer to use it when my hair's wet. I've learned thatit stays straight longer that way. As long as you straighten your hair in very thin layers from underneath, and work your way to the outside, it works great!! At the beginning, it took me about an hour to straighten my hair. After some practice, I got down to only 40 minutes. Now, it only takes me 20-30 minutes to straighten my hair. And I mean REALLY STRAIGHTEN it. I hope you found my review helpful! - Flat Iron - Hair Straightener - Remington - Hair Care

Remington Beard Trimmer - remington beard trimmer, trimmer


Click here for more information
I was looking for a cheap trimmer for my beard, which I usually keep pretty short. I bought this without seeing it in a store. I think I had seen that it had good reviews here, and it was under thirty bucks, which I figured was a good limit for something that is only going to last so long. I didn't need anything fancy. I got exactly what I was looking for, but I'm surprised how well it works. There aren't any parts that seem like they'll fall apart, and it's got a great feel in the hand. I like the action on it a lot. My first trim was immediately better and much quicker then the previous trimmer I had (which had died on me). I think this is a great deal for someone who needs an occasional shave of a beard. I really like it. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done very well. I can't think of how it would be better.

I bought the predecessor to this beard trimmer more than three years ago, and loved it. After carelessly dropping my old one I broke it, and am back for another.



Pros:



* Scrolling wheel height adjustment.

----> A very nice feature, the height holds well, unlike some trimmers. You can use pressure against your face and it won't retreat to a shorter height setting that creates a thin spot.

----> After only two or three times, you will know how high you want it. For example, I always trim my beard on a "6" and my mustache on a "4"



* Removable head to trim beard edges.



* Strong motor/ blades provide pain-free trim.



* Holds its charge for a long time. (I charge it full before I travel, and don't even bother packing the charger, because I trust it to function the whole week.)



* Shaver head lifts easily to remove stray hair that gets into the motor area.



* Cordless -> To avoid having to clean the bathroom after a big trim, (If I didn't trim for a week or so) I will take it in the back yard and set it 1 setting higher ("7" instead of "6"). Then I give it a quick hit to get rid of the long hair, and then return to the bathroom to finish the detail work.





Cons:



* It will need a place to lay flat, or a pouch to hang in. It doesn't stand on end, and the charger unit plugs into the base (at the bottom end of the demo picture).



* I did mention I broke my old one. I had removed the height guard, and was emptying the hair from under the shaver head. The pivot is plastic, and while I had it open, I dropped the shaver. It landed head down (of course) and the pivot broke. Totally user error, but it is a weak spot.





----------



Final Thoughts:



I love this thing. It provides a quick clean trim. I would say that it usually takes no less than 3 minutes for a quick trim, maybe as long as 8-10 minutes if I am going to detail the edges after a month of quick trims.



I highlighted some cons for a fair review, but I have nothing against this razor. It trimmed well for three years, and was still holding a charge for weeks when I broke it.



(I liked it even more after trying the Remington PG350 Precision Deluxe Rechargeable Personal Grooming Kit. I bought that quick because I needed a trim, and it confirmed how well this razor worked, and shaped my thoughts for this review. To compare to a bad item, check my review of that item.)

I was about to shave my beard off about two months ago having been feed up with keeping it trim. I used a trimmer intended for hair cutting and it did not work well at all, especially the incessant hair pulls. I noticed this trimmer on Amazon and its good reviews, so I ordered one. I've used it now for the last two months and very pleasantly surprised by the results and ease of use. No more hair pulls and the trimming head never needs lubrication. I especially like the height adjustment mechanism. I've yet needed to recharge it over those two months. I wish it had a charge indicator but nevertheless, given the results, I highly recommend it and have to rate it 5 stars.

This appears to be an updated version of a Remington trimmer that served well for many years.



After a months use, I can report that the stability of the trim length setting has been improved, and the trimmer blades no longer require lubrication. The quality of the beard trim is also improved, allowing for rapid trimming.



If this new trimmer is as durable as my first, I will more that satisfied.

The good: the trimmer works great!



The bad:

1) no charging stand.

2) it has the short life NiCad batteries instead of the more modern NiMh.

3) the recycle law has been met by the letter rather than the spirit of the law. The batteries which will last not much more than 2 years are soldered in. Thus when the batteries go south, you can cut them out but likely most people will not be able to solder in replacements. Thus a product that could last 10 years is likely in the trash at three years. - Remington Beard Trimmer - Trimmer - Remington - Grooming
