'Intelligent' hair straightener 'better than ghd' worth £140 now under £35
This coconut oil-infused straightener is so popular it is said to "beat all the well known brands hands down."
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.

"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."
