'Intelligent' hair straightener 'better than ghd' worth £140 now under £35
Hair care is an important factor for many beauty enthusiasts. That usually means investing in the best tools that prevent heat damage and keep our locks smooth and shiny.
For many, a straightener is the ultimate tool that can do it all, with ghd's products being arguably the most popular. Although, we have spotted one on Amazon that is said to be "better than" the professional brand.
Remington's Advanced Coconut Therapy Hair Straightener is so popular that reviews say it "beats all the well known brands hands down". Worth £139.99, it can currently be bought in an early Prime Day deal for just £34.90, saving 75 percent and over £100 off the RRP.
To help keep hair soft and shiny with each use, the floating ceramic plates feature micro-conditioners that have been infused with coconut oil and UV filters, keeping tresses protected from any frizz caused by too much heat.
Its salon-style design means it comes complete with an ultra-fast 15-second heat up time and five digital temperature controls up to 230C, while the rounded barrel design with a swivel cord makes it easy to create either a sleek straight or bouncy curls look.
There's also an integrated sensor that kicks in when the plates come into contact with the hair, ensuring they never overheat, while plate lock and auto-shut off function offers peace of mind and safety.
There are many other tools on the market designed to keep hair healthy and protected from heat damage, with the Revlon Smoothstay Coconut Oil Infused Straightener offering a suitable alternative for £30 at Tesco.
Meanwhile, for another deal worth bagging, we have spotted Argos stocking the Revamp Ultra X Shine Hair Straightener for just £40 that is usually worth £100.
Considering Remington's status for hair tools, it's no surprise to hear that this coconut-infused straightener has been singled out as an ' Amazon Choice' product, with a glowing 4.4 rating based on over 1,000 reviews from happy purchasers.

One beauty fan praised: "Better than ghds. What can I say I have used GHDs for the last 20 years? My last pair broke yesterday so after some research I thought I would try these Remington's. I can't believe how straight my hair is gone, not even my GHD's got it this straight. Amazing straighteners on would recommend to anybody, I have thick course hair and look how smooth it looks."
Someone else said: "Game changer. Beats all the other well known brands hands down. When it comes to straighteners over the years I've had ghd, Babyliss, TreSemme, Nicky Clarke and tried many friends ones. This year during lockdown I had a slight moment (a £394 moment) and decided to even buy the Dyson corrale straightener because I'm a sucker for advertising and believe everything I see and hear. Well that went back!!!!
Beauty deal of the week
Looking to get that salon blowdry from home? Then look no further than Amazon's limited deal on the Remington Ionic Dry Hair Dryer.
Worth £56.99, the online delivery giant is offering this styling tool for just £19.99, reducing it by a staggering 65 percent and £37 overall.
Offering a stylish, sleek black design, it uses a power 2200W motor that delivers fast, efficient styling, with three heat and two speed settings having shoppers saying that it provides "super versatile" styling options.
Another key feature beauty buffs will love is the ionic conditioning that provides multiple benefits such as a faster drying time, all while leaving hair smoother, shinier and less damaged.
It also comes complete with a concentrator attachment that can help achieve that smooth, sleek effect, while the diffuser will be suitable for anyone looking to enhance their curls.
With praise for its "fast drying" ability that also leaves hair "frizz free", it's understandable why it averages a 4.6 rating, as one shopper said: "Absolutely love this Remington hair dryer! The 2200W power ensures fast drying, and the ionic conditioning leaves my hair smooth and frizz-free.
"The multiple heat and speed settings make it super versatile, and the cool shot locks in my style. The included diffuser and concentrator are perfect for different styling needs. Highly recommend for professional-quality results at home!"
Shop Amazon's limited 65 per cent off deal on the Remington Ionic Dry Hair Dryer now.
"So I stumbled upon the Remington coconut therapy ceramic straightener. What a transformation. I have fine, sort of wavy 55 year old hair which is shoulder length and as soon as I go out in rain, sun, wind or humidity I get a messed up fuzz. This has transformed my life! No frizz days since. Thank you Remington. Where has this been all my life."
Another shopper simply remarked: "Salon hair feel 100 percent. Straightens hair really well, hair feels smooth and silky after use."
Not everyone has been keen on the design of hair straightener, as one three-star review read: "The product is certainly hot enough, but the buttons are in such an awkward place it's impossible not to accidentally turn them off whilst using them! They also aren't ideal for curling and they're quite stiff and you will get lines from the rotation unlike smoother irons."
Although, someone else who was a fan of the tool wrote: "This hair straightener is FAN-TA-STIC !! My hair never looked better and it doesn't pull hair! Gives effect wow after styling."

Amazon slashes price of 'powerful' smart watch with 100+ sports modes by 76%
Whether you're a gym enthusiast, an outdoor adventurer or simply someone looking to stay on top of your fitness goals, a good smartwatch can make all the different. Finding one for the right price, however, can be tricky. Well, it seems Amazon has come through with a deal that hits all the right notes - even though Prime Day has wrapped up. The online giant has slashed the price of an "impressive" smart watch that customers describe as "stylish and functional." The Soudorv purple strap smart watch, which usually retails at £99.99, is now down to just £23.74. And no, that's not a typo. This timepiece boasts an extensive array of features, including 3D full touch capability, step counting, stroke monitoring, sleep tracking, alarm clock, sedentary reminders, remote photography control, and music management. Wearers can also place and receive phone calls, record conversations, and monitor weather conditions. The device doubles as a fitness tracker with over 100 sport modes, magnetic charging, app notification alerts and extended battery performance. As alternatives, customers can purchase the Reflex Active Series 12 Smart Watch for £29.95 from Boots. H Samuel also stocks the Sekonda Flex Rose Gold Tone Bracelet Smart Watch at £65, whilst Argos offers the Fitbit Charge 6 Fitness Tracker for £99, reports the Daily Record. The Amazon timepiece has garnered glowing feedback online, achieving a 4.9 star rating. One reviewer commented: "Stylish and functional. Impressive smartwatch with great features at a great price!" Another customer noted: "This a great watch for daily use. It is light, comfortable, and looks nice on the wrist. The screen is clear, and the touch works well. I use it to count my steps, check my heart rate, and see how well I sleep. It's also waterproof, so I don't have to take it off when washing hands. "The battery lasts a few days, which is very good. It connects easily to my phone, and I can see messages and calls right on the watch. It's good for men and women. It simple, smart and very useful for the price." A third chimed in: " Sleek and powerful. This smartwatch combines sleek design with powerful features like fitness tracking, notifications, and heart rate monitoring. The touchscreen is responsive, and the battery lasts well for daily use. It's a great companion for staying organized and active on the go." However, not all feedback was positive, as some customers encountered problems with the watch. One reviewer expressed their disappointment: "The strap broke after three weeks, so it's now unusable. Can't send it back as it's a week after return date." Another customer, despite being"really impressed" with the watch, faced an initial hiccup: "Only minor issue was syncing it with the app at first, but it's been smooth since." Nonetheless, the smartwatch continued to receive commendations from many users. A satisfied shopper shared: "This ladies' smart watch fitness tracker is easy to use and looks beautiful. It helps track your steps, heart rate, sleep, and more to keep you healthy. The design is simple and stylish, perfect for everyday wear. The battery lasts a long time, and the app is easy to understand. Overall, it's a great choice for women who want to stay fit and look good too." Another penned: "Very nice watch. I am amazed with this watch. It's full of amazing features and the build quality is so good. I am really happy with it. The readings are pretty accurate and the battery life is so good."

Holiday money mistake costing Scots hundreds of pounds this summer
Travellers should be cautious when choosing how to pay their bills whilst abroad. Travellers jetting off abroad this summer are reportedly unknowingly falling into a costly trap at restaurants, shops and ATMs whilst on holiday. According to Jessie Chambers, Travel Expert at Global Work & Travel, choosing to pay in pounds (GBP) instead of the local currency could be inflating holiday spending by as much as 10% per transaction - thanks to a little-known practice called Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC). She said: 'It feels familiar and safe to choose pounds, but it's one of the biggest travel money mistakes Brits make. You're letting the shop or ATM provider apply their own conversion rate – and it's almost always worse than your bank's. Dynamic Currency Conversion is when a foreign card machine offers to convert your bill into GBP on the spot. While it sounds convenient, this 'service' often comes with: Inflated exchange rates Hidden mark-ups (typically 6–10%) Additional fees layered on top A €100 meal in Spain could cost £84 when paid in local currency, but would actually £8 more when paid in GBP via DCC. Multiply that over a week-long trip with hotels, restaurants, and activities, and travellers could be losing £100–£250 without realising. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Money saving tips when spending abroad Always pay in local currency – especially at ATMs and restaurants Use a card with no foreign transaction fees (e.g. Revolut, Monzo, Chase) Decline 'conversion to GBP' offers from shopkeepers or waiters Withdraw cash abroad in local currency using fee-free apps Jessie added: "We've had travellers message us mid-trip after realising how much they've lost to bad conversions. The worst part? It's totally avoidable." Another thing to consider, according to Alastair Douglas, CEO at TotallyMoney, is which credit card to take - if at all - to make sure you're not being hit by hefty currency conversion charges. Alastair warned: 'Don't get burnt by bank charges this summer and take a fee-free card with you. Otherwise, if you pack the wrong one, you could find yourself paying £8.15 for £5 of cash when abroad.' Alastair also advises checking your providers flat fees. He added: "When using your card, remember that making multiple, smaller purchases or withdrawals can really add up. In which case, you might be better off withdrawing a larger amount of money once, and setting a daily budget.' Alastair also warned if you're in the UK and switching one foreign currency to another foreign currency, then it's likely that you'll be charged two sets of fees or commissions. One will be to convert your cash into pounds, and another from pounds into the new currency. So, you might be better off waiting until you reach your destination and exchanging there.
