'Better than GHD' straighteners that leave hair 'shiny' drop to £20 in Prime Day deal
'I wouldn't use any others now, they're amazing!' 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!"

Amazon slashes £50 off 'brilliant' ghd Hair Straightener that styles 'salon-like' hair
The gadget combines upgraded tech with its classic design for shiny results without extreme damage If you've been holding out for a deal on a quality hair tool, now's the time to act. Amazon has dropped the price of the upgraded ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler to £88.19, down from its regular £139.00, in a Prime Day deal, giving users a saving of £50 on one of the most respected names in haircare. The ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler comes with upgraded technology and improved design while staying true to the cult classic that launched the ghd brand. Designed for sleek, smooth and soft styles with enhanced shine, it uses single-zone ceramic technology to maintain a consistent temperature of 185C, hot enough for lasting results, but gentle enough to prevent extreme heat damage. Suitable for all hair types, the straightener's rounded barrel allows for versatility, whether creating straight styles, soft waves or curls. Its iconic golden floating plates are coated for a glossy finish and a smoother glide. It heats up in 30 seconds and features a 30-minute automatic sleep mode. This model is especially suited to those newer to stylers, providing ease of use without sacrificing performance. For alternatives, the REMINGTON Pro Ceramic S5525 Extra Wide Hair Straightener offers good value at £34.99, down from £69.99 on Currys, and is rated 4.7 out of 5 stars by 66 users. At the higher end, the Cloud Nine The Contouring Original Iron is priced at £299 on Boots website and has earned a 4.4-star rating from 165 reviews. But for those after the ghd Original Hair Straightener & Styler's legacy and reliability, it remains a popular pick with consistently high praise. It has received 4.6 stars out of 5 with over 4.4k reviews. One customer described it as a major upgrade: 'I absolutely love the ghd straighteners. The heat settings are perfect, providing just the right amount of heat to straighten and style without causing any extreme heat damage... It's reliable, easy to use, and delivers flawless results every time... It's worth every penny!' However, another buyer shared disappointment after a few months of use: 'I brought these after my other pair broke. These straighteners have only lasted me a few months... one of the heat plates has stopped working and the death red circle light has come on... maybe I was just the unlucky one who had a dodgy pair.' The simplicity and performance continue to win over many: 'These straighteners are brilliant, the best on the market. Make your hair so smooth when you've used them.'

That said, some noted differences in build quality compared to older models: 'Although these work really well they are weirdly light and at first I wondered if they were knock offs... My previous pair came with a silicon holder which these don't... feel weird to hold but work well.' Others praised its hair-friendly design: 'I prefer ghd straighteners to other brands as they glide smoothly and don't pull the hair at all. They operate at a lower temperature to others, which is better for hair, but do a better job.' While there are occasional concerns about build or packaging, the majority of reviewers commend the ghd Original for delivering salon-like results at home with minimal effort. It continues to be a reliable, go-to tool for both everyday styling and special occasions. Get this product HERE while the £50 discount lasts.
