Remington S9500 Pro 1" Pearl Ceramic Flat Iron, Hair Straightener, Digital Controls + 9 Heat Settings, Black/Pink

I purchased this flat iron after using it while visiting family. I traveled out of state and, thankfully, left my subpar flat iron at home. So, I asked to borrow one... and this is the one they owned. My hair is naturally curly, thick and long. So, it usually takes FOREVER to straighten all my hair. With this flat iron, I can straighten each section of my hair in ONE pass! The pearl ceramic plates also leave my hair shiny and smooth. It heats ups faster than any flat iron I've ever owned (literally in seconds). It doesn't snag/grab pieces tiny strands of hair like some lower-end irons I've used. It is professional quality - no doubt. I immediately went online and purchased one after using it. Two of my friends also purchased this flat iron after using it only one time... it's that good.

I primarily use this to curl my hair and it does an excellent job but straightens hair just as well. I had this same model for 5 or 6 years before it died and when I needed a new one I bought the one on Amazon that had all the best reviews. I ended up returning that one and ordered this one instead. It's inexpensive, heats up fast, the plates are longer so you can style hair faster, and the locking mechanism is handy. It's an all around great purchase. (For reference I have medium length, thick, wavy hair but it works great for finer, longer hair as well. Unsure if it has the power to tame super curly hair but I would give it a shot.)

This is very good quality I love how it makes my hair feel so soft after

This is solid. The pull is smooth, no snagging, no catching of singular hairs. The variable heat settings allow you to start cooler, see what your hair can handle and needs. My hair is very light and darkens with too much heat, so I have to be careful. I use this at 340 - 360, and it works great without darkening the hair. I don't need to use product to have it work and stay straight.As to the comments about the handle being too short, where the draw-back is that you can't get enough leverage to clamp down hard enough. I'd say, at the higher heats, without a doubt, you cannot put your fingers over the plate area and do lose the ability to clamp down super tight with one hand as you pull. However, I'm not sure you need to do this as much as you _feel_ like you need to do this. I'd say it works fine without having to have your fingers directly over the plates to clamp tight. Also, if you feel you need to do this, at the tip of the straightening iron are flat spots to put your fingers to clamp tight with your second hand. So, you can put your hair in the iron, put your fingers safely in the spots at the tip of the iron -- it is made for this -- and clamp super tight as you pull. (Again, I don't really think you need this, but I get the want to do it, especially on the stubborn hairs.)As to any of the short, terse reviews saying this thing is garbage or snags or whatever -- my experience with this product shows none of that is true. This is a superior product, especially for the price.

This is the best hair straightener I have ever had and its inexpensice. Heats up in 15-20secs!!! I love that you can alter the settings using the (+) & (-) buttons and if your hold down on either of these buttons for 5 secs you can lock in your heat setting so that you hands do not change or turn the iron off while using in! Heats up Instantly, does not burn hair (however please use heat protectant/Tresseme) and it goes as high as 450 degrees. I'm a african/american so for those who wear extensions or even your natural hair it does wonders it straightens your hair instantly while giving it a natural shine and you hair. Before I used this item on my hair I got an OLD, COARSE tangled piece of hair extension and I brushed it out as much as I could spray a small bit of oil sheen set iron to about 400 and as soon as I started pressing the hair got straight, light and fluffy as if it were brand new. This iron brings old extensions back to life LOL (Reuseable again). Item is as just decribed in the promo video and pictures. I 100% recommend this product!! Excellent Product Amazon or Remington!!

Love this straightener, i bought this probably almost 6 years ago, when i would straighten my hair all the time. I still have it and use it, even though i dont straighten my hair as much anymore. I dont plan on buying another straightener for a while, this one works the same as it did when i bought it.

I go thru hair straighteners like they're going out of style, no joke. So when it comes time to buy one every time I find myself contemplating a cheap one or a $100 one.I've had this straightener before, only the one with the larger plates. I loved it. It worked good and left my hair super smooth. Some straighteners pull out your hair or your hair gets stuck in the straightener as your straightening and this one isn't like that at all. It's exactly what I want when purchasing a hair straightener. It heats up quick and goes up to 450. You can lock it closed too which is awesome for storage and when it's heating up.Well worth the $25. I always end up purchasing remington because they haven't done me wrong yet. Good quality and even better price. When you get it you'll be happy you didn't waste $100... this product does the trick
