Review: I love my Wet 2 Straights! They are really fab and after use my hair feels so soft and looks really shiny. I have very thick long hair which is also extremely curly so prone to frizz. Having my hair straight means its a lot easier to manage. I used to spend hours (literally!) trying to tame my hair down and now with the Wet 2 Straight all it takes is about an hour from wet in comparison to 2+ hours with any other straightener! I thoroughly recommend them. PS: If you're living in the UK, get them from Curry's as they only cost £30 there as opposed to £80 everywhere else! Well worth it.

Review: I have to say that I am disappointed with the Remington Wet 2 Straight flat iron. With an older, normal iron my hair had body, shine, and bounce. True, the Wet 2 Straight eliminated the need for a hair dryer, but at the expense of body, shine, and bounce. My hair didn't move, and it felt like straw. It took many washes with repairing shampoo to recover from the disaster.

Review: I got one for my birthday 2 months ago but was leery of using on my wet hair so didn't use that feature until about 3 weeks ago. WOW! I wish I would have used it sooner. My hair is so soft and straight. It takes me 10-15 minutes to do my hair now. My husband has been so impressed at how quickly I have been getting ready. And I am impressed with how nice my hair looks and feels - I can't keep my hands out of it. The only downfall is that if I leave it plugged in it beeps about once an hour which is annoying. Obviously, be careful of the steam - it's really hot. Also go really slowly in order to get the best results. I highly recommend this product however I live in a dry climate and am not sure if it would work as wonderfully in a more humid climate but for $25 it would be worth a try. (Oh, and it seems to give my fine hair more volume at the roots which is a definite perk).

Review: Recently I have bought a pair of these straighteners. I used them and at first they were great! I have used them a few times since and they do not seem to heat up as much as the first time! If I am straightening my hair it is taking me double the time it had done from when I used them the 1st time! I would not recommend these to anyone! I’m now going to buy a pair of ghd because as I’ve used these before and they heat up 10 x as much as the wet 2 straight.

Review: Eek! This product does indeed work, but DON'T BUY IT!! My friend and I bought one around the same time and now both of ours have broken down (almost a year later). It's really dangerous because when it’s plugged in, if you turn it a certain way, it makes these weird sounds and sparks up and turns off. So, unless you want to get electrocuted or something, I say spend 10 bucks more and get yourself something more worthwhile.

Review: I bought the slim version of Remington's irons in Melbourne, Australia, and I must say, though my hair is thick and frizzy, it has done wonders for my hairstyle. Just 30 minutes from wet to dry! It’s so easy and practical!

Review: I thought this was horrible. I would give it 1 star. I dried my hair and it made me look frizzy and very ugly.

Review: I thought about purchasing these straighteners when they first came out but didn't as I thought there was no way that they were going to be as good as they said. I assumed that they would be like my old straighteners (leave my hair frizzy and be hard to use). My sister bought them recently and used them on her daughter’s hair which is past waist length and the results are fabulous, her hair is like mine long and slightly curly so usually a nightmare to straighten. This convinced me to buy them. These straighteners can be used while your hair is wet so cut out the hairdryer completely which is great as it usually took me an hour to dry and straighten my hair with my old straighteners. With the Remington Wet 2 Dry it takes me about half an hour, they are very easy to use and are much better than any straighteners I have used in the past. Because you use them whilst hair is wet the hair stays straight whilst drying unlike a hairdryer where I always felt like I was fighting with it to straighten my frizzy hair! The results are amazing and I can honestly say that they were worth every penny, they are £80 rrp but I bought them from www.beststuff.com for £60 with no delivery charge, which is quite cheap when you think that you can pay about £180 for a pair of GHD straighteners which in my opinion are nowhere as good as these. I finally have straight, smooth, soft hair that lasts till I wash it again. The only thing you have to be careful about with these straighteners is that you must face the airvents away from you because they get very hot and you could get burnt, which is true of all straighteners. Remington Wet 2 Dry are available in ‘wide’ for long, thick hair and ‘slim’ for shorter hair. I thoroughly recommend these great straighteners to anyone who has slightly curly, difficult to manage hair. I was about to get all my long hair cut off before I bought these, as I was totally sick of drying and then straightening it, now I feel much better about my hair I can wear it loose much more often and I'm really glad now that I didn't get it cut!

Review: I purchased a similar product but under a different brand. For me, it takes about the same time if not longer, since my hair is rather thick. However, the results are so magnificent I am over the time consumption. My hair stays smooth, silken until the next shampoo. Now, I don't dread washing my hair!! I am African-American with coarse, frizz-prone hair and noticed more body in my style than ordinarily after the first use. Also, I plan to give my blow-dryer and curling irons away. This product will also be good in the summer-time with not having to blow hot air all around. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this product.

Review: Wet 2 Straights are really good. I’ve had mine since xmas and everyone always complements me on how straight, shiny, smooth and soft my hair is. These are really great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about buying them.

Review: Remington Wet 2 Straight ceramic irons<br>Having tried a few other ceramic straighteners before and having been less than impressed. As if it doesn’t take long enough already to dry long hair and then take the straighteners to it. Make sure you use it with the steam holes facing outwards, otherwise it can be painful. It heats up quickly, is pretty easy to use, quite comfortable to handle. I'm very happy with my Xmas pressie.
