Revamp's 'best straightener ever' cuts styling time by 'nearly an hour' and is £40 off
Those with thick or hard-to-manage hair know that finding the right styling tool can make all the difference. And thankfully Argos have slashed the price of a hair straightener that fans are saying it's the "best" they've ever used.
The Revamp ST-2000-GB Ultra X Shine Hair Straightener is designed with speed and shine in mind, and at the moment, it's seeing a sizeable price cut. The high-performance straightener is down 40 per cent from £100 to just £60.
With a solid 4.8 out of 5-star rating from 216 reviews, it's quickly becoming a popular choice for those wanting efficient styling without compromising results.
Finished in black, the Revamp ST-2000-GB Ultra X Shine Hair Straightener features extra-wide, long ceramic plates infused with Progloss super smooth oils, including keratin, argan and coconut oil, to give hair a sleek, glossy finish.
These X-shine floating plates are also designed with ionic technology, helping to reduce frizz and keep hair looking smooth and healthy.
Its ultra-fast heat-up time of just 10 seconds and temperature range from 80°C to 235°C offer flexibility for all hair types, whether straightening, curling, or waving.
A 3-metre swivel cord, digital controls, 16 heat settings, and a 60-minute auto shut-off provide the added convenience needed for everyday use or travel. It also comes with a silicone heat-resistant mat and supports worldwide voltage, ideal for those on the go.
For those after alternatives, the BaByliss Midnight Luxe Hair Straighteners may appeal. Priced at £26.99 on Amazon, down from £70, they've earned 4.3 stars from over 800 reviews.
Meanwhile, the ghd Max Professional Hair Straightener, praised for its wide plates and frizz-free styling, is available at £139.20 (33% off) and has a 4.4-star rating from 1,192 reviews.
But if it's the Revamp Ultra X Shine you're considering, you're not alone. One reviewer wrote: 'I've used GHDs and Remington but my hair is so thick it goes curly again within hours, these keep it straight for up to 2 days!'
Another user praised it as 'the best straightener I've ever owned". They added: "It heats up quickly, [gives] silky results with just one pass, and great for travel.'
However, someone else said: 'They don't feel as powerful as my previous pair and the size makes it difficult to style small pieces or the ends.'

EV fast-charge at major supermarket leaves shopper 'gobsmacked'
The price of the fast charge shocked the motoring influencer As the nation gears up for the electric vehicle (EV) revolution, a motoring influencer has highlighted the cost of using the UK's public charging infrastructure. Speaking about his experience of using a fast charge point at a Tesco supermarket, TikToker @nathan_castleton said: "I've got 11 miles of range on the car. We're gonna fully charge it, hopefully using one of these fast chargers while I go and shop." As appealing as it was to charge while he shopped, Nathan soon realised the cost. Documenting the expensive process, he said: "The problem I've got is how much this is going to cost, because I reckon this is going to cost way more than a tank of fuel, firstly, and… not give me anywhere near the range a tank of fuel would in an internal combustion engine car, especially something like a diesel." It comes after news that anyone buying fuel next week will be given '£15 charge' warning by The AA, reports the Mirror. The physical effort required was another surprise, with him exclaiming: "These are really, really quite heavy, I think for people who maybe don't have super strong hands and arms, these are really hard, just an FYI." In addition to these issues, he also witnessed another issue with EV ownership: "Kind of ironically, next to me there's a guy who ran out of charge, and he's had to have the RAC come and bring him to the charger." This not only highlights how critical accessible charging points are but also how stressful running low on charge can be. When Nathan finished charging his car, the bill appeared, with him saying: "So let's see how much 130 miles of range is going to cost us. So there we go, there's our total — it added 36.25 kilowatt hours of range… for £26.10. "Now just for content, £26 for basically 120-130 miles of real world range, that's expensive, so if you do plan on getting an electric car, you do not want to be using public chargers."

His experience is typical of many UK supermarkets, where fast chargers come with a premium fee — often between 50p and 70p per kilowatt-hour. These costs add up quickly for larger battery EVs, making public fast charging an expensive fallback compared to doing it at home, which is typically around half the price. While supermarkets are expanding EV infrastructure to support growing demand, fast charging, despite providing quick range recovery, can come at a price. So, for many EV drivers, slower and cheaper home charging remains the most economical option. Owners must plan their charging routines carefully to avoid these "expensive" fees.

The Intex Easy Set Up 10 Foot Pool is a tempting way to keep cool in the garden and is a popular choice with customers, able to boast Amazon's number one best seller in the inflatable pools category and over 4,600 five-star reviews. This 10ft wide and 30 inches deep round pool is ideal for both children and adults, providing endless entertainment throughout the balmy months. Its three-layer reinforced material design ensures it's puncture-resistant and sturdy, ready for a season of enjoyment.

(Image: Amazon) The above-ground pool features a 'fill and rise' system, expanding as water is added after inflating the top ring. With its easy assembly, those suffering in the heat at home could be cooling off by tomorrow if they utilise the next-day delivery options available to Amazon Prime members. Inflating a paddling pool can often seem like a daunting task, but Amazon assures that it only takes around five minutes to inflate the ring, and filling the pool with water can be completed in 40 minutes. In addition to the pool itself, purchasers will receive a filter pump, protective cover, and even a repair patch kit for any rips. Although designed for children aged six and above, the pool is also easy to drain and pack away when the summer sun fades. One delighted buyer commented: "This is a fantastic pool, massive and brilliant. Price wise I think this is really good value compared to paddling pools, because it is so much better and I feel sure it will be reusable for years." Fun for all the family (Image: Amazon / Intex) Another happy purchaser noted: "It's an instant fun pool. I know it sounds simple, but it was fantastic on a hot day, and my teenagers spent hours sitting in it, sipping drinks and chatting." Alternatives to the Intex Easy Set Up 10 Foot Pool include the Funsicle 9ft Octagonal Family Paddling Pool priced £55.00 from Argos, one of the only product in stock from this retailer, and the Bestway Family Paddling Pool in the largest size of 305cm x 183cm from Amazon priced £44.39 after a 15% discount.

Though slightly more expensive, this pool features a robust snap-in frame, making it perfect as a semi-permanent garden fixture that can hold up to five people. Those blessed with more expansive outdoor areas will find the Large Bestway Framed Pool represents excellent value, slashed from £159 to merely £64.99. It comes in three different sizes, allowing you to select the perfect fit for your space. Another contented customer expressed their approval of the product, stating: "We got tired of having to replace the children's garden pool every few years because of both punctures and unattractive discolouration of the plastic. These Intex pools seemed of much stronger, durable design." Article continues below However, not every review was positive, with one purchaser awarding just two stars and expressing their concerns: "The top is constantly deflating, within 2 weeks the top is deformed and sometimes the top is flipped over and the water spills, so I have to rush to lift it up." Despite this, the Intex Pool l has generally received favourable responses. One delighted customer awarded it five stars, commenting: "I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain. If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it's like being on holiday. As pools go, this one is nothing short of fantastic. Get one."
