Battle of the straighteners: GHD Kiss Hot Pink IV Styler VS Remington Shine Therapy

Looking for a new pair of hair straighteners? Stuck on what to get? Have no fear because I am here to review my two ultimate favourites.

GHD Kiss Hot Pink StylerIn the pink corner…
We have GHD Kiss Hot Pink IV Styler, ideal for a girly girl who is obsessed with pink! (Like moi)
I bought these, January this year and I must say I am very impressed. The colour was the main attraction I have to admit, but surely we have all heard of GHD! Let’s face it, they are a well known long lasting brand, expensive…but they do the job perfectly.
My hair is poker straight in less than 10 minutes.
How much did they cost? £135, they came with a GHD box, how- to dvd, three lip glosses and a GHD Heat Protector Spray, which I also recommend. And £10 from the price  goes to breast cancer research!
So that’s the positives, there’s a major problem why I had to stop using them, and that is: they are harsh for my hair.
There is no heat controller so you have to put up with the very hot 200C setting, I have read somewhere that the heat goes up to 320C but don’t quote me on that.

Nevertheless it’s still very hot for my liking.

Remington Shine TherapyIn the blue corner…
So I went on the hunt for some new kind- to hair straighteners.
I came across Remington’s Shine Therapy.. On the box the words shine therapy stood out to me..I read on to find out that they have vitamin E and avocado to add shine to your hair, I was intrigued.
These straighteners have a heat control, allowing you to adjust to the temperature you want.
They heat up in a hair – straightener -world breaking 15 seconds.
How much did they cost? 40, big price comparison from the GHD’s!

I have been using these straighteners for 4 months now and I’m so pleased with their performance. It does exactly what it says, adds shine! Thanks to the combination of shine enhancing vitamins E and Avocado. Not only do I have shiny hair, it’s smooth and not damaged from too much heat.
The only disadvantage is that the control buttons are in a awkward place, so when styling your hair you turn the heat up/down by mistake.
That is the only thing I would change.
So we have a winner… Remington’s Shine Therapy!

I would give these a try if you need a new pair or even if your a hair straightener virgin!

Did you know…?
Hair straighteners, hairbrushes and hair dryers- Even on a good hair day, everyone loses at least 40 to 100 strands!
