Revlon's Smoothstay Coconut Oil-Infused Hair Straightener, now £17.99 at Amazon (40% off the £29.99 RRP), is earning praise for keeping hair sleek and straight for days even in humid summer conditions. Hundreds of reviews compare the affordable tool to premium brands like ghd.
Features and Performance
The straighteners feature ten temperature settings up to 235°C, 25mm triple-coated ceramic plates for straightening or curling, and coconut oil infusion for a silky finish. Heat-sensing technology maintains even heat, and ceramic tourmaline ionic tech reduces static and frizz. According to one five-star reviewer: "These are by far the best hair straighteners I've ever had... They leave your hair feeling super sleek and shiny and heat up very quickly."
Customer Feedback
Shoppers highlight the tool's effectiveness on thick, curly hair. One wrote: "I have naturally curly hair but using these straighteners it goes dead straight, stays for days despite humidity and makes it shiny like I haven't seen for years!" Another noted: "They heat up super quickly and glide through your hair... My hair is so nice and soft and glossy." A customer who switched from Dyson called them "just as good as ghd."
The only common complaint is the short cord. One reviewer said: "The only thing I would change is the cord so it was a bit longer but that's not a major issue."
Value Comparison
At £17.99, the Revlon straighteners are significantly cheaper than ghd's Gold model (£185.07 at Amazon) and compete with the Remington Shine Therapy Straightener (£19.99 at Boots). The travel-friendly pouch adds convenience. A skeptical buyer admitted: "I almost didn't buy these as they were so cheap... I'm so glad I got them, they work amazingly well."
