Remington S9950 Light Weight, easy to use, adds shine, body and straightens well
This iron is easy to use right out of the box, has variable temperate, that only took a few minutes to figure out, and is infused with avocado oil as well, which I’m sure helps the shine! It also only takes a few minutes to heat up, so if you’re in a hurry, the iron heats up in about 1-2 minutes.
Does NOT burn scalp while working close to it, which is better than other irons I’ve tried.
With this iron, it is surprisingly easy to use to straighten AND style (curl hair, flip ends, etc.), and one can change style easily in minutes, even with long hair!
If your New Year’s resolution is to take better care, to look better, loose weight, etc., this tool makes a great edition to one’s toolbox of beauty tools! I wish I’d had this before my son’s wedding, as my hair does tend to fly away and get the frizzies. This takes that out of the equation, and unlike using a ton of moose, that makes one’s hair stiffer, this product makes one’s hair easily manageable, AND you can add extra style, and if you don’t like it, you can change it back in seconds! I can also get it right next to my scalp without getting burned! Also great for damaged/overly dry (And probably processed hair) hair as the low temp setting is made just for those of us who have thin hair that gets bleached by the sun easily!
VERY kewl product! Also comes with 3 year warranty! Hair irons have come a LONG way over the years! This one is well worth the investment, and works as well as much more expensive irons I’ve tried!
Remington S9950 Great features!
I never thought I needed a straightener with an LCD screen or thermostat, but this thing ROCKS!
You press down the power button firmly, and a bright blue screen lights up.
Next, you choose the actual temperature (not just numbers 1-25, like my old straightener; who knows what temperature it was??) you want, and in less than a minute, beep-beep, it’s ready!
The grip is super-comfortable, making the straightener easy to maneuver. The wand isn’t that big. There’s a rounded edge that I used to give the ends of my hair a bit of a curve, but it would work just as well for simple straightening.
I didn’t notice any particular smell, other than that of a new heat appliance. I also didn’t notice any unwanted residue from the avocado oil & vitamin E.
This is one terrific piece of equipment, and my old straightener is definitely being handed down!
Remington S9950 Serious shine!
Was so surprised that this flat iron actually does what the advertisment says it does.. it actually DOES leave your hair shiny,smooth, and the conditioners calm the ends of my hair. When I opened the package something that struck me was.. wow this would make a nice gift.. its a very feminine pretty iron and the packaging is pretty too. A easy 5 stars!
Remington S9950 Great Buy
I just used this new iron on clean and dry shoulder length fine hair. I used the lowest setting and that worked great. My hair had some static electricity issues and it all got smoothed out. My hair is soft and has much more shine!
I straightened it and then flipped the ends with a quick turn and that also worked great. The rotating cord is a huge plus. Also the floating ceramic plates are great. My last iron stopped coming together flat after about a month. I returned it to the company and got a new one only to have it happen again so I am glad to have this new one that looks like a winner.
I have one con that may be just due to the fact I have long fingers but as I use it how I hold it I kept hitting the increase and decrease temperature buttons and need to kept re-adjusting. Over time I should learn to hold it in another fashion. This may or may not be an issue for you but wanted to get everything out on the table so to speak.
My hair feels soft and not burnt in any way. It looks and feels great.
It is an nice soft blue/aqua color that looks nice in the bathroom, not the ususal brown or black.
The 4 year warranty makes it a great value. I highly recommend the product. It is a bit smaller than some other irons which I think makes it much easier to use and store.
Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Hair Straightener A hit with my me and my daughter
I was very skeptical about getting this since they never seem to do what they say they will do. We were both pleasantly surprised. It’s not cumbersome and very easy to use. You have to remember to press the button firmly and not just once as we started out doing.
My 12 year old was able to use it by herself and it heated up very fast and left her hair straight and shiny. She loves the blue color and so do I. I would recommend this to anyone in a heartbeat. We usually go to the hairdresser and get our hair ironed out but this will definitely save us some money in the future as we can do this at home without worrying about damaging our hair. Not sure how the avocado oil works but it does.
Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Hair Straightener AWESOME!
This straightener works great!! I love how fast it heats up and it leaves my hair feeling so soft. I do agree with the other reviewers with the placement of the buttons. I orginally thought it was because I have long fingers, but noticed that others have stated the same issue. I will just learn to adjust my hold as I do not want to purchase something else for one reason. The four year warranty says that Remington made this product to last at least that long. So this is definately worth the money!!
Remington S9950 Shine Therapy WONDERFUL!
The Remington s9950 Shine Therapy Straightner is a great product. I have wavy hair and love to use my GHD. I guess thats why I was offered this Straightener to review.
1) Dual Voltage.I love that this is a Dual Voltage product. I think they should list that in the Ad.
I hate carrying another straightener when going to Europe or Asia where the voltage is 220. A major plus mainly for that. Infact I spent big bucks on my Ghd just because it was Dual Voltage.
2) Floating Plates. I am new to this concept as my GHD lacks this. I love to be able to press the plates togather and the floating plates let me know when to stop applying pressure.
3) Long Cord. I find the cord length long enough to suit my needs.
4) Conditioning Plates. This too is something my GHD lacks. I dunno still if this really helps prevent split ends. But it is a good concept and I hope it works long term. I am sure GHD will follow suit considering they never thought of this.
5) Temperature control. THis is something too my GHD lacks. I love that I am in control of the temperature.
6)Lock. THis is a great safety feature.
NEgatives.
Button placements- Not the best spot as we can accidentally change the temperature. But I guess when I get used to this it wont be a problem after all.
Releases hot air on use. But my ghd does that too,a little less though.
It does make me wonder why I spent so much behind my GHD.
This straightener also looks gorgeous. I makes a great gift.
Love it so far.
Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Best Ever
This hair straightner is amazing! It is the first straightening iron I have used that does what it says it is going to do.
Here is what is fantastic:
1) Light and easy to handle
2) Heats up extremely quickly to over 400F
3) Runs through your hair swiftly and shines the hair
4) Styles QUICK
I have long hair (just passed my shoulders by about 3 inches). I have naturally straight hair but I have some waves and one cowlick in the front. Using this, my hair was silky smooth and the cowlick completely gone. LOVE THIS IRON and I won’t be using anything else going forward.
I did not feel it was drying my hair, actually quite the opposite. It tamed all frizzes and did the job in a quick fashion. My kind of iron!
Remington S9950 Hair Straightener Love it
The first thing I noticed about the Remington Shine Therapy flat iron is that it’s pretty and I wanted to touch it. Maybe that sounds silly, but it’s a pleasant change from devices that look at home next to the soldering iron in the tool box.
It heated up in less time than it took to figure out how to press and hold the power button correctly. The box claims “30 second instant heat”, and for my setting of 390, it certainly met expectations. The available heat settings are in increments of 20 degrees from 300-360 and from 370-430. This arrangement is quick and efficient; it takes only 7 clicks to move from the highest setting to the lowest. Additionally, it offers uncommonly high heat settings for a consumer product.
The control buttons are recessed and easy to avoid while using the iron, plus they’re lockable (press and hold “-”) to prevent accidental changes. The unit sits comfortably on the countertop without tipping over, thanks to a flattened section on the bottom. Bonus points go to Remington for these quiet, helpful features. Extra bonus points are awarded for the 4-year warranty. The power cord connects with a sturdy, molded swivel and helps control cord tangling. This is a necessary feature so Remington doesn’t get any extra points, but I would have taken away points if it was missing. Same thing goes for the hinge lock.
I’m not sure what to make of the “Shine Therapy” conditioner-infused, floating ceramic plates. My hair was shiny to begin with, and I didn’t notice any additional shine. What I did notice is that the plates seem… slick is the wrong word… Drag-resistant? Extra smooth? My hair slips through the Remington with almost no resistance. At first, I thought that the plates were too loose, but they’re good – my hair just slid much more easily through them than I’m accustomed – I guess that’s the conditioning effect at work. My straightened hair does feel very soft and smooth.
Remington S9950 Hair Straightener Attractive, Light-Weight and Easy To Use
The Remington 1″ Conditioning Flat Iron is a digital model that has a 30-second heat-up that temperature ranges from 300 to 430 degrees. The digital display flashes until it reaches the correct temperature then beeps. It has floating ceramic plates that are infused with conditioners and avocado oil to protect, add shine and moisturize your hair. The conditioners leave no oily residue and are guaranteed to last the lifetime of the iron. The iron comes with a four-year warranty.
I don’t know how the technology of the infused oils work but it does seem to leave hair shiner and in better condition than flat-irons without the oils. The floating plates are nice and the iron does not pull or tug at your hair.
It’s a small, sleek looking model that is a very attractive ice blue color.
The buttons are under your hand during use but do not get pressed while you straighten your hair so that it isn’t turned off or adjusted accidentally.
I really like the Remington, it is easy to use and worked on my coarse, thick, wavy hair. My only complaint is the hinge lock is hard to turn. It’s a small knob that is hard to turn and I’ve messed my nail up every time I’ve tried to lock the hinge.
Pros:
Light, Compact, Sleek, Attractive
Floating Ceramic Plates
Infused Conditioners
Digital Controls and Display Easy to Operate and See
Cons:
Hinge Lock Hard to Use
No Storage Bag
Overall, I recommend the Remington, it’s a light, attractive product that straightened my hair and did not damage even the delicate ends.
