Customer Reviews of Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Moisturizing and Conditioning Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener, 1"Customer Review: Watch for buildup on hair Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This past year I've tried over a half dozen different hair straighteners and have found this to be one of the better straighteners.
I've most recently been using the 1" TRESemme Philips HP4669/05 Thermal Creations Straightener and love it's no frills performance. The Remington S9950 Shine Therapy straightener is giving it a run for it's money and may be my new go-to straightener.
The Remington features an appealing 50's inspired retro blue and silver hue that immediately brightens my mornings.
Quick heat up time and easy to tell when the temperature is right. I love that this straightener has a default heat setting in the middle. It is defaulted at 390-degrees, which is the high-end temperature for medium textured hair. This allows the user to only have to dial up or down a few degrees, rather than starting at the lowest temperature and taking forever to get to the proper setting. I also want to point out that this does not dial up by 1-degree incraments. It dials up by larger incraments.
There is a blue toned light that glows from the temperature display window. When the iron is heating up, the light blinks. When the temperature is ready, the light turns solid and an slight audio beep is heard. This is a wonderful feature that allows for me to run around and do other things while my iron is heating up. It's also nice that I don't have to goto the iron to see that it's ready. I can tell from across the room.
The dials are on the main part of the handle. I normally hate when this happens because I will either turn my iron off or change the temperature of it during use. This has not happened with this iron. The buttons are made so that the displays can't be changed with just a light touch. I read in the instructions something about a lock but have yet to figure out how to activate it. I don't think it's necessary though-at least for my fingers. I would recommend holding the iron over the buttons as opposed to over the plates because the outside does get hot. I'd rather risk changing the setting than risk getting a burn because it can easily be done if this iron is held near the top.
The plates are 1-inch and includes conditioner in the plates that help give hair a shine boost. I'm not normally a fan of multi-purpose irons. This one, is not bad because the plates do not need replaced or any type of maintenance. The conditioner is supposed to last for the lifetime of the iron. As far as the shine factor goes, I did notice that my hair is shiny. Nothing drastic but it is shinier.
The plates are also "floating". This simply means that there is a layer of material between the plate and the housing that has a cushion effect. Almost like shocks. This allows for some up and down movement of the plates and eliminates hair pulling. This is a great feature on this iron. It made it easy for me to flip my hair under with a turn of the wrist. I was also able to flip my hair out easily as well.
I've read a review that mentioned the small plate causing creases or crimps. I have not experienced this with the Remington. The floating plates allows for a quick run through from root to tip. If the iron is in motion and does not stop, there will be no creases caused by smaller plates. I would actually recommend going through the hair quickly with this iron to avoid overheating the hair. The iron works well enough that one or two quick swipes work better than one slow one that can overheat the hair and damage it.
There is a swivel cord as well that gives the user more freedom to work on awkward areas without getting tied up. The cord hasn't been in my way yet and is the right length where it is not too short and not too long.
I did notice a slight odor when using this iron but I can't determine if it is from the conditioning plates or just the smell from using a new gadget that has plates on it. Either way, it DOES NOT smell like burning hair or anything offensive.
There is a lock on the arm of the iron. My lock is tight and hard for me to open and close. Hopefully this will loosen up with time.
Overall this is an excellent iron. It does require changing straightening technique (going faster through the hair) but the performance is strong enough that this will add time to the straightening procedure and may just protect hair.
I would recommend this as one of the better, low priced straighteners.
UPDATE: If used two days in a row without washing hair in between, there is a build up on the hair. It looks dull and dirty when it does not with my normal iron. Another reason why I don't like my products to be multi-functional. I just want it to do one thing right!! Still good for a quick straighten but I will not be retiring my Phillips anytime soon.

View larger. | Remington's Style Therapy Collection The Remington Therapy collection--a hair care system that delivers conditioning properties while styling--provides solutions to combat irritating hair problems and works to increase hair health and vibrancy. Because the conditioning benefits are already in the straightener, you'll add shine and save time normally spent adding conditioning products before styling.Ceramic: The Hair Straightener Essential If you want to achieve salon-quality hair straightening from your own home, meet the Shine Therapy Straightener. Ceramic has become the big buzz word in hair straightening--that's because ceramic improves heat distribution and helps the selected temperature remain even throughout the entire plate, so there are no hot spots. Ceramic also creates an effortless glide with no snagging, flattening your hair cuticles for silky-smooth results. Plus, it ensures long-life plate wear, protecting the plates against styling products and scratching. Straighten and Condition Hair at the Same Time The Shine Therapy Flat Iron helps you avoid dehydrated, lifeless hair, thanks to its ceramic plates infused with heat-activated, shine-enhancing conditioners containing avocado oil and vitamin E. The plates emit these conditioners evenly onto hair through microscopic pores. This design styles and conditions your hair at the same time, giving you straight, smooth, shiny hair. Floating Plates for Constant Hair Contact Conventional straighteners don't ensure that all hair comes into contact with the heated plates on the first pass. More passes equals more damage. With the Shine Therapy Flat Iron, you'll sidestep this problem, thanks to floating plates that allow hair to flow freely through the straightener and maximize the amount of hair touching the plates. User-Friendly Features The Shine Therapy Flat Iron heats up in 30 seconds and provides precise 300-430-degree Fahrenheit heat for fast and long-lasting results. It also boasts a digital temperature display with temperature lock for precise, easy heat adjustments. The vitamin and avocado-infused plates have been tested and are assured to last for up to four years. Safe, Easy Use with Auto-Shutoff Function If you've ever left the house and worried that you forgot to switch off your straightener, you can breathe a sigh of relief. The Shine Therapy Flat Iron's auto-shutoff function takes effect after 60 minutes. And when you've finished styling, it's easy to store away with its handy hinge-lock. For maneuverability, it boasts a salon-length swivel cord. This straightener also features worldwide voltage, so there's no need to skimp on your style routine, whether you're at home or abroad.
