Ok so I bought this flat iron last year and I hadn't started straightening my hair until then. When I used it I thought it was amazing because I wasn't used to my hair straight. Now most of the time I look at myself in the mirror and my hair is not straight hardly at all. I used my friends straightener and it stayed pin straight all day and night. I suggest you use a chi, solar, or palladium. They are much better. My friends flat iron was a palladium I definitely recommend it that to you.
I owned a Chi before as well as a Paul Mitchell flat iron. So far..this Remington flat iron has been quite comparable to the two. Again "so far". I was not expecting it to work so well being that it is under $15. The only thing I don't like is the shorter cord. The professional irons have longer cords. But that's because it has to be long enough to walk around the stylish chair.
I purchased this iron for myself, so it's no biggie. It does smell a little funny when it heats up. But it doesn't make your hair smell or anything. I'm curious to see how long this iron lasts. It does have a 2 year warranty. It's so worth it. I'm very happy I bought this instead of another professional iron. However, I would only use this on my hair, not a client's.
The Good
The Bad
At the cost, it appears like two years of utilization is really great, thinking of it as is a little plastic machine that gets exceptionally hot and is utilized consistently. Indeed, the significantly more costly irons won't keep going forever. In any event with this one it's sufficiently reasonable that supplanting it is not an issue.
Conclusion
My hair type is thick (a lot of hair) Wavy 2A but is horrible to style. The smell was bad at first but went away. I loved how it straightened my hair (on the lowest setting) and even after shampooing it, it still kept a straightness to it. For hard to manage hair I originally LOVED this because it cut my styling time down significantly. BUT, after time I could no longer wear it wavy because I would straighten it daily.
I did not read the advice about getting a heat protectant and now I have fried not fully straight somewhat wavy hair (not cute at all!). I have not found a good heat protectant so have stopped using this until I find something to protect my hair (which has always been very pretty so I am now annoyed that I have fried hair). If you have fine hair FIND A HEAT PROTECTANT. If you always want straight hair then it's a good hair straightener.

The Good
- Heats up immediately contrasted with different irons
- Stays hot after different passes
- Temp controls are useful, making this work with fine or thick hair
- The shape and size of the iron make it perfect for both straightening and twisting
- Works flawlessly as hair curling accessory in view of the adjusted edges and little size, its anything but difficult to turn and twist
- Power line is sufficiently long and has a swivel where it joins, it's not going to get free or break
- The value, I mean go ahead... under 20 bucks.. it's difficult to beat
The Bad
- It's not going to keep going forever
- After 2 years of utilization, the temp controls quit working
