Hi everyone,
I was looking for a new straightener because my current one could be a little better.
The problem was that my straightener, the Remington Pro Luxe, sounded like it was "shaving" over my hair, and it sounded a bit damaging. My ends are always split and dry and I think it is due to the straightener.
A quality straightener by GHD could be the sollution, but the price was so high. 150 euros? So I decided to order it online so I could test it before purchase.
I noticed that the straightener was very light, which is nice when you have weak arms like me.
It didn't have a temperature setting, it was designed to measure the tickness of my hair before every use. I clicked the powder button, but nothing happened. I had to press 4 times before the light went on. Weird.
After a few applications on my hair, the straightener beeped a few times, signaling that the temperature was right.
I noticed that the plates went through my hair quite smoothly. A tiny bit smoother than my Remington though, not very noticeable. I heard a bit less noise like snagging and "shaving", the plates were very smooth. My hair become straight quite easily.
My hair looked a lot drier and less shiney though than when I straightened with my Remington. My ends looked frizzier than ever, while the Remington can usually make my ends, when curled a bit, look bouncy and heavenly, and make them stay that way. When I make a pony tail, I love to take my Remington and curl my ends for an extra girly, bouncy look.
The GHD effect seems a bit too weak for that. My ends instantly sag. It is annoying that I have no control over the temperature. I know, the temperature that GHD fixed is probably healthier for my hair, but I don't straighten my hair for health, you know. Straightener in essence is suffering for beauty. I want straight shiney hair, even if becomes damaged, not limp dry looking hair that is "healthier".
So, for this price, I am going to keep my Remington and not purchase this 150 euro straightener. I don't think it's worth the money.
