Today I am writing to you about my new favourite line of appliances. As you may or may not know, I might have long, luscious hair, however it doesn't like doing what it's told one bit! So barely any hair appliances so much as leave a dent on my hair. I've tried absolutely everything, from CHI to whatever I could pick up.
That being said, I've recently found a line of miracle appliances, the best part? They all retail for on average of 25$ a pop at stores like Target! The brand? *drumroll please* Remington!
Two years ago on a whim I picked up the Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron, which retails for 18.69$ from the Remington website.
Basically with this you have the option to straighten your hair from either wet or straight. I'm absolutely horrid at blowdrying my hair, but my hair only stays styled once I do it from it being wet, so this was absolutely perfect! A lot of the reactions I've gotten from explaining how it works and using it from wet are all along the lines of 'well wouldn't that do crazy damage to your hair?' my answer, 'have you seen mine?' I've been using this for years now, and by no means and I'm trying to brag, but I have some of the healthiest hair, especially considering the length of it, and I seldom do treatments, etc. That being said, I do not think it does much damage at all. None noticeable, on myself at least. This product has been a lifesaver and has cut my straight hair routine in half! I'd DEFINITELY recommend it!
For Christmas, what my sister asked for was a curling wand. Me being me, I hopped on the Target website (because I wanted to keep it budget friendly, but still something that was going to last) and saw the Remington brand there as well, so I figured I'd give it a go. The Remington T-Studio Pearl Ceramic Curling Wand retails on the Remington website for 24.99$.
My sister was more than pleased with this, and after seeing it's results and how long it lasted I figured I'd give it a go. So my sister kindly allowed me to bring it back to Toronto with me for a few days so I could test it out. With my hair, 98% of curling products don't do anything, I don't know what it is. But they will always curl nicely, then 10 minutes later my hair is left in droopy waves, so I'd given up completely on curling irons/wands. However, I was completely shocked that even after a walk in the frigid cold to work, and entire shift at work AND sleeping on it, the curls were STILL intact. I'm so impressed with this wand, it's not even funny. It heats up to 410, however I normally keep it around the 350 point, and I only leave it on for about 10 seconds per piece and VOILA beautiful curls! I've had so much luck with this one that I'm definitely going to head over to Target in the coming weeks and pick one up for myself! A cool little tidbit on this one; the pink ceramic barrel is made out of crushed pearls, which I think definitely adds to the allure and final result. So cool!
Anyway, if you're ever searching for a straightener or curling wand these would be my suggestion, as well as anything else from the range. I feel as though a lot of hair brands are only good in one sector, whether it is straighteners or curlers, however this is great in both! I'd recommend these over many luxury brands any day!
Try them out and let me know your results :~)
