Amazon Prime Day has reduced the price of Remington Shine Therapy hair straighteners to £18.99, down from £79.99 – a saving of 76%. The device has accumulated over 35,000 reviews on Amazon, with 80% of those being five-star ratings. Numerous customers describe it as 'just as good as ghd' but without the £100+ price tag.
Key Features and Performance
The straighteners feature ceramic plates infused with Moroccan argan oil, which is released onto the hair as the device heats up in just 15 seconds. Users can select from nine temperature settings ranging from 150°C to 230°C, allowing customisation for different hair types: lower heat for coloured, bleached or fine hair; mid-range for normal hair; and higher settings for coarse, thick or curly hair.
Remington conducted a consumer blind test on 60 respondents, finding that the straighteners delivered 86% more shine than the participants' own high-street versions. Additional features include a 60-minute automatic shut-off, a turbo boost function for quick styling, and a heat-resistant pouch for travel.
Customer Reviews
One Amazon reviewer noted that after using the Remington straighteners, their hair remained 'much straighter and glossier' even after exposure to damp air or light rain, unlike previous tools that left hair frizzy. Another shopper, a longtime ghd user since 2002, stated: 'I can honestly say that this Remington Shine Therapy straightener works better on my hair, straightening and curling it more quickly. This is hands down the best straightener I’ve ever owned at this price point – it beats models I paid 3x more for, and I use it every single day.' A third customer added: 'If you want sleek, glossy, healthy-looking hair without spending a fortune, this is it. And it just warms up in less than 15 seconds.'
Prime Day Context
The deal is part of Amazon's Prime Day sale, running from 23 to 26 July. The Remington Shine Therapy straighteners are available for £18.99 while stock lasts.
