'Better than GHD' straighteners that leave hair 'shiny' drop to £20 in Prime Day deal
With Scotland set to be hit with another heatwave this weekend, everyone will be wanting to make the most of the gorgeous weather by being outside. At the same time, you will want to make sure you look your best while you are out and about.
For those worried about having a bad hair day, a quality hair straightener can be your saving grace. Thankfully, for those in the market for a new set of straighteners, Amazon is currently hosting its Prime Day event which has seen a vast variety of must-have products getting decent discounts.
One set of hair straighteners that shoppers are raving about are the Remington Shine Therapy Hair Straightener. Normally retailing for £79.99, shoppers can now grab this quality hair tool for the bargain price of £19.66.
Said to deliver beautifully sleek, shiny locks with every stroke, these Remington Straighteners are said to restore softness to your hair as it combines shine-enhancing technology with advanced ceramic coated plates that are infused with Moroccan Argan Oil.
Moroccan Argan Oil can have many benefits for your hair, including providing deep hydration, increased shine, heat protection, reduced fizz, as well as improved scalp health. This is the perfect oil to be infused into a hair straightener as it will keep your locks healthy and luscious.
Boasting nine different heat settings - ranging from 150 to 230 degrees - shoppers can choose the perfect temperature for their hair. For those with coloured, bleached or fine hair, Remingtom suggests using the lower settings. These straighteners are also great for those running late, as they take only 15 seconds to heat up.
For those wanting to splurge on a high end set of straighteners, Amazon has dropped the price of the ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler. Normally retailing for £139, shoppers can now grab them for £88.19. Featuring upgraded technology, these straighteners are perfect for everyday styling on all hair types.
Alternatively, Argos has slashed the price of BaByliss Luxe Hair Straightener from £70 down to £52.50. However, this can be reduced further as shoppers can use the code BABYLISS20 at checkouts to get an extra £20 off their purchase - dropping the price to only £32.50.
Back to the Remington Straighteners, they currently have a 4.6 star rating from over 33,100 Amazon shoppers. On top of this, over 9,000 people have bought the hair tool in the last 30 days.
One delighted reviewer gushed: "Best straighteners I have ever owned, much better than GHD. They glide effortlessly through the hair and only need to pass once to get shiny straight hair! They have a long chord with a swivel which helps with direction through the hair and they heat up fast with a beep to say they are ready.
"The LCD is clear and the control buttons are easy to reach. All in all they are excellent and for under £40 a real bargain compared to other stores. I would highly recommend them."
While another five-star reviewer added: "I have used many straighteners but this one is the best of them all. It straightens hair in one go. Heating is super good for thick dark hairs. Heats up in seconds and leaves hair shiny. I have not seen any hair damage yet but it also depends on hair type. Overall it is a reliable product."
However, a couple of shoppers had a few gripes with the hair tool. One shopper said: "Did a really good job but the controls buttons are in a silly place right where you hold the tool! Spent most of the time turning it off up/down."
While another added: "OK for budget straighteners. I feel they are a bit snaggy. They aren't good for curling at all."
On the flip side, a top reviewer noted: "I was blown away the first time I used these, they perform like ghds. It's great that they have a lock setting, wider plates, a good variety of temperature settings to meet all different hair types and comes in a cute storage case for on the go or holidays.
"My hair now looks shiny and healthy but also kept straight for so much longer than my old pair of straighteners. I wouldn't use any others now, they're amazing!"

Ninja 24cm 'non-stick' pan drops to £19 in the sale as shoppers dub it 'first class'
'We've had just about every type of gimmic non-stick ever produced. These pans beat them all.' While many people enjoy cooking up a delicious meal in the kitchen, a much lower number of us are happy to do the clean up afterwards. This can be an even more tiresome job when stubborn ingredients end up getting stuck to your cookware and refuse to come off easily. One way to combat this is to buy non-stick cookware to help lessen the burden. For those unsure of which brand to shop from, Ninja has a range of popular 'zerostick' pots and pans that are currently a best seller with Amazon shoppers. For those looking for a bargain, shoppers can currently grab the Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic Cookware 24cm Frying Pan for a reduced price. Normally retailing for £26.99, cooking lovers can now grab it for £18.99. Whether you are in the mood for a sunny side up egg or some crispy sizzling bacon in the morning, this frying pan will make the task of cooking feel like a breeze, reports Manchester Evening News. Said to be compatible with a 16cm induction ring, along with other hob types, Ninja's cookware is built to be durable and long lasting. Dishwasher and metal resistant safe, this 24cm frying pan is also scratch resistant and is oven safe up to 180C. Many people have rushed to buy this pan for its ability to stop food from sticking 'day after day'. Using little to no oil, your food should seamlessly glide off the pan once it is fully cooked. Shoppers can also get a 10 year replacement guarantee if they register with Ninja for extra peace of mind. While this pan may be more expensive than other models on the market, it could ultimately save you time and effort in the long run. Amazon has also reduced the price of other branded cookware. For example, the Tefal Taste Twin Frying Pan Set is currently down from £36 to £28.99. Featuring a 20cm and a 28cm frying pan, these non-stick aluminum pieces of cookware uses thermospot technology to let users know when optimal cooking temperature has been reached. Alternatively, Argos is selling the Scoville Neverstick 30cm Frying Pan for £24. Said to be five times stronger than other non-stick pans, this cookware is said to be suitable for a variety of hob types and is also dishwasher safe. Currently boasting a 4.6 star rating from over 4,600 Amazon shoppers, the major retailer has hailed this Ninja 24cm Frying Pan as a best seller. One shopper even said that this pan is better than others on the market. One delighted shopper wrote: "We've had just about every type of gimmik non-stick ever produced. These pans beat them all. Well build, can be used in the oven and the non-stick surface is first-class!" With another five-star reviewer adding: "Solid pan and versatile. Perfect eggs and steak every time. Very impressed as I pondered over Tefal etc (which are pretty good but don't seem to last as long). Non stick is spot on, just be VERY gentle with it e.g. NO metal/sharp utensils and use soft towels to dry it and prevent scratches." However, one person advised: "Needs a tiny bit of oil to become truly nonstick. Otherwise really happy with the product performance." While another shopper gave a mixed review: "I forgot to check the size, it's a bit smaller than I expected. Two colours, I bought the black one. It's great for cooking pancakes and omelettes. The handle is not really comfortable." On the flip side, a top reviewer praised: "I've been using this frying pan daily, and it's been nothing short of amazing. The non-stick surface works like a dream, making cooking and clean-up effortless. Whether I'm frying eggs, sautéing veggies, or whipping up a quick meal, it performs consistently without any sticking or uneven heating. "The build quality feels sturdy and durable, yet it's not too heavy to handle comfortably. It's clear this pan is made to last, and I'm impressed by how well it holds up to regular use. If you're looking for a reliable frying pan that can handle everyday cooking with ease, this one is a fantastic choice!" To buy the Ninja ZEROSTICK Classic Cookware 24cm Frying Pan, click HERE.

Viral Stanley cups that 'keep drinks ice cold for 24 hours' up to 29% off on Amazon
Shoppers found their Stanley cups still had ice in them more than a day after filling them. Unless you've been living under a rock, you've definitely heard of the iconic Stanley cup. Viral thanks to TikTok, the famous insulated water tumblers have taken the world by storm - but they come with quite the price tag. Luckily, though, Amazon has slashed the prices of many of the colour options for this high-quality cup. Usually retailing at a steep £45, Amazon has slashed the price of several of their range of Stanleys by up to 29 per cent. The 'Plum' colour option comes with the biggest discount, now priced at £32. Other big reductions have been seen on the purple 'Dahlia Shimmer' option (now £32.28), the 'Powder Blue Crush' option (£33.75), and the 'Blue Spruce' cup for £32. The insulated cups promise to keep up to 1.2 litres of water or other drinks cold for two days with ice, or for 11 hours without ice. Made from 90 per cent recycled stainless steel, the thermal cup is also more sustainable than other non-recycled products. It comes with a straw and lid, so users can choose whether to sip from the cup's straw or to drink directly from the cup, which its product description claims is splash-resistant. STANLEY Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler 1.2L (Plum) £45 £32 Amazon Shop Product Description Every piece of the product is dishwasher safe, assuring that users won't have to put in any extra effort when cleaning. 'Built for Life' has been the Stanley promise since 1913, and the company promises to manufacture rugged, high-performance products that last a lifetime. Those browsing alternative insulated cups may consider the similar Home Beige Stainless Steel Travel Coffee Cup on Argos for a cheaper price tag of £12. For shoppers after a smaller option, the Home Lilac Travel Cup is available for just £8, also on Argos. But customers adore the iconic Stanley, which boasts a 4.4 rating from over 7,000 reviews, especially when they can grab it at a discounted rate. One happy shopper said: "An excellent and very well built cup that keeps my drinks cool for hours. "The best part is the size so that you don't have to refill frequently. Can fit into cup holders in dars and is one of the best products made by Stanley as all my previous flasks have been Stanley over many years." Someone else added: "As described. Beautiful colour and keeps my ice water stays ice cold for over a day. Very refreshing. Always thought it was overly expensive but it's worth it." Yet a less pleased customer said: "The lid would continually stick when closed making it a struggle to get it open if closed too tightly. "The issue with this is if not closed very tightly the cup WILL leak unless continually upright, which is simply not practical. I would seriously consider another product if you're looking for something to keep your drinks cold and everything else dry." But another five-star reviewer wrote: "Absolutely lives up to the claims. I filled it with iced water and put it on my bedside table in case I woke up in the night needing a drink. "The next morning it was still icy, even after it spent the night in a warm room. Ice in my usual glass jug would have melted within the hour. Downed about half of the water, went to work forgetting I'd left the cup there. "Twenty four hours after filling it I went to bed, checked the cup that had been sat on the bedside table and it was still full of ice. It had hardly melted at all." The Stanley cup is available on Amazon.

Amazon axing popular freebie that helped customers ‘earn £100s' in just days and shoppers are furious
Plus, we reveal other ways you can earn money online ALL CHANGE Amazon axing popular freebie that helped customers 'earn £100s' in just days and shoppers are furious Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AMAZON is axing a popular freebie in days, and shoppers are furious. The major online retailer said its Receipts Program will end in the UK on August 1. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Amazon receipts program is changing for customers Currently, customers can upload receipts for products they bought from rival shops via the Amazon shopping panel, and earn money back. Shoppers earn 10p for each receipt they upload. Alternatively, they can upload 50 receipt pictures to get the maximum reward of £5. Panellists were alerted to the change via a notification in the app. The move has sparked fury among customers, with many taking to social media to complain. Writing in the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, one shopper said: "I'm gutted I get £7-8 a month from it and it all adds up. While another added: "Oh no! I've got £141 since I've been doing it. Don't get many surveys, some months I don't get any, so not worth keeping." And a third moaned: "Gutted, over £200 since I started doing it." It is not the first time the retail giant has made changes to this feature. Back in October, shoppers were left heartbroken after Amazon said shoppers would need to upload 50 receipts instead of 10 to get the £5 reward. Amazon 'hiking' prices ahead of Prime Day after shoppers claim company 'great savings' aren't real Panellists can still earn rewards through completing surveys for Amazon. The amount customers earn varies per survey and you can see the amount before choosing to complete the survey. The Sun has approached Amazon for comment. How does the Amazon shopper panel work? The shopper Panel is an opt-in, invitation-only program where participants can earn monthly rewards by sharing receipts from purchases made outside of Amazon. Once you receive a notification, customers can download the app from the app store or the Google Play store. Before you join, you may be put on a waiting list and you will be sent an email when you can join. As well as uploading receipts to earn cash, users can also take part in surveys and enable ad verification for extra rewards. The amount you can earn per survey varies, but you will be able to see how much you can earn before you take part. Enrolling in ad verification - allowing Amazon to see the ads that appear on your phone - can earn you £2 per month. If you decide the app isn't for you, you can stop using it anytime. More ways to make money online There are plenty of other websites that pay you for completing surveys or other tasks. For example, Swagbucks has paid out millions globally and reward users for surveys, watching clips and browsing the web. Regular users report earning upwards of £300 a year for just 15 minutes of their time. Expect to earn around 50p a survey which will typically take up to 20 minutes. You can get your payouts either as PayPal cash or shopping vouchers. Elsewhere, Opinium is used by top firms for research. Surveys pay 50p on average and take around five minutes, you'll have to work up to £25 before you can get a payout. Get your money through cash with a bank transfer or gift vouchers.
