Review on πŸ”₯ Remington 8510 Anti-Frizz Therapy Hair Straightener, 1" Ceramic Flat Iron with Digital Controls, in White by Catherine Foht

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nothing like the old version

I got my first Remington Anti Frizz Therapy in early 2013 and it was my HG until it broke. I recently reordered. Unfortunately nothing stayed the same but the name and part of the look.1. This one smells bad. When heated, it smells like something burnt. This has never happened with my previous straightener.2. The previous version made a sound when the iron reached the desired temperature and the temperature on the display flashed, indicating it was heating. This model does none of that. The display itself also no longer has a backlight.3. He burned my hair. At 360F, which is the temperature I've used for the last 5 years. I tried lowering the temperature but that didn't seem to help. It felt like I was just playing with the display for no reason.4. The previous version had an auto-lock feature to keep the rectifier in the closed position and also had a protective cover. Very convenient for storage or travel. This has nothing like that. What happened to what was once the best hair straightener? That's so sad!

Pros
  • Good stuff
Cons
  • Not bad but...
