I have very dry, thick, curly hair and a lot of volume too. Every few months I have to relax my curl in order to keep it under control. I also live in the tropics where heat and a lot of humidity don't exactly help my hair remain frizz free. I was very skeptical when I first bought this product because I had tried many hair straighteners and all had given me poor results. Thank goodness that I was finally proven wrong! This product definitely does what it says it will do and is very affordable in comparison to other products on the market. I flatten my hair after I blow dry it and I have finally been able to tame my wild hair into soft, smooth, silky, straight hair. I have been getting plently of compliments but most importantly, I feel happy with my hair! I have recommended this product to friends and family and they have also acheived wonderful results. I recommend that you buy a deep conditioning treatment (Redken Heavy Cream) and leave it in your for 15 minutes with a self warming cap, rinse out and apply a heat protectant on your hair (Redken Heat Glide) before the process. Your hair will be fabulous!

I know this review may not be very helpful to most of you but I am just going to name some problems with this straigtening iron to warn you.I have wavy hair too so some of these problems may not affect you.

-It doesn't straighten wet hair.(It actually does, but my hair is still partially wet and it becomes wavy after it dries)

-It is only COATED in ceramic, after a while of use, it eventually chips off, leaving your hair exposed to even more damage than it has already done.(I'd suggest getting a ceramic plated straightener)

-The straight hair doesn't last. After a day at school, it starts getting wavy, especially if it is humid outside.

-It does damage to your hair. Its not as bad as those $10.00 ones but you still end up with a bunch of split ends and frizzy, damaged hair

There are also good things to it too, and it seems awesome when you first get it but eventually after a short while it wears down. I'd suggest getting a little bit more expensive hair straightener that will live up to the price.

I read the reviews and was quite skeptical since I've tried almost everything to straighten my coarse, thick, curly hair. I get my hair chemically relaxed about every 9 months. But the results keep my hair still curly, just not as bad. I've used ionic hair dryers, flat irons, curling irons, etc. It usually is an hour and a half process and me sweating half of my body weight in the bathroom! But this product eliminated the hair dryer...no sweating! It straightened quite nice! I used a comb in conjunction. That's the only thing I wish it had built in. My hair section was completely dry in the one passage. The entire process only took me about a half hour! Just make sure you condition well and use a good hairspray to ensure lasting results. I used my curling iron to secure and smoothe my ends. I'm impresssed.

I can't believe all of the bad reviews! This straightener is awesome! I have really thin and sensitive, wavy hair, and all of the other straighteners I've used just made my hair REALLY frizzy, or even burn it! The worst part was, they didn't even straighten my hair one bit!!! This straightener is the only one that worked really well so far. I've been using it every day for a while now. My hair stays straight ALL day. It even added more shine, smoothness, softness,and even VOLUME to my hair! no other straightener has ever done that. I'm sure that there's better straighteners out there but this one works great and is at an affordable price. I would DEFINITLY recommend this straightener for ALL hair types. Personally, I prefer to use it when my hair's wet. I've learned thatit stays straight longer that way. As long as you straighten your hair in very thin layers from underneath, and work your way to the outside, it works great!! At the beginning, it took me about an hour to straighten my hair. After some practice, I got down to only 40 minutes. Now, it only takes me 20-30 minutes to straighten my hair. And I mean REALLY STRAIGHTEN it. I hope you found my review helpful!

I have long, moderately thick, wavy hair with a total mind of its own -- lots of product and/or putting it up seemed to be the only solution to gaining a neat, all-day style. (I'm not ready or willing to take the step of chemically straightening.) I had completely despaired of ever being able to successfully straighten my hair myself, no matter how much I quiz my stylist -- I've tried all kinds of gadgets and products that promise how easy it will be, and invariably end up with a big frizzy bush on my head that I have to pin up anyway.

Well, I bought the wet2straight last weekend, and all I can say is THIS THING WORKS. It IS easy, and it works QUICKLY too. I haven't tried it yet on freshly towel-dried hair, but may do so on a weekend when I have more time. I typically let my hair air dry for about 45 minutes to an hour, while I go about the rest of getting ready for my day, and I use a straightening product (Fructis smoothing milk). In about 15-20 minutes I have glossy, dry, STRAIGHT hair. It is AMAZING and I am so happy!

Note: there are two sizes, wide and slim. The packaging made no distinction about the difference, but a helpful sales clerk said that the wide plates work better on long hair, and the slim plates are better for short hair.

My girlfriend borrowed one of these from her friend and commented on how well her hair was straightened and how little damage occurred (compared to her own straightener). I ended up buying one for her (from Amazon) and she loved and still uses it today.

Do your hair right and get one of these. You won't regret it.

I was sceptical...read all the reviews on numerous sites and found about 1/10 hated it, everyone else loved it. I bought mine at Target for $24.99. I used it for the 1st time this morning and I'm hooked! My hair isn't limp like it gets when I blowdry then straighten, it has some bounce but is STRAIGHT. It took a while, and I did burn myself when my hand was too close to the steam vents, but I'll get used to the whole hand-placement thing and it'll get faster w/practice. It usually takes me 30 minutes to blowdry and another 10-15 w/a flat iron. This took me 30 minutes max, and that's with 3 kids interrupting me. Pretty good! AND, NO SWEATING as with the blowdrier. I also feel like this is better for my hair since I'm not pulling and streching it w/a coarse brush while drying. I'm very pleased.

I bought this flat iron a few months ago to use on my hair, which is not particularly curly but sometimes will have a little wave (or do whatever it wants on the ends, which I prefer to be straight).

It was difficult at first to get the wet-to-straight thing down, but I finally did manage to get this iron to work on wet hair; the trick for me was not going too fast and waiting in between passes a bit to let the iron get back up to temperature. Unfortunately, it is, of course, necessary to set the iron at a higher temperature when using it on wet hair, and so it's probably necessary to pay attention and turn it down a bit after the hair gets dry so you don't damage it as much.

While I'm speaking of dry hair, I get much better results when I flat iron my hair when it's dry. If I flat iron it from a wet state, it doesn't get as straight as I want, but it's a good start; I normally have to come back later and finish it off, however.

The other bad thing about this flat iron is that my hair sometimes gets caght beside the plates. I also have quite a few split ends, but I don't know if I can blame that on the straightener. (By the way, if you are flat ironining and not using a heat protectant, you should.)

It's a good flat iron for the price, and it's nice to be able to use it on wet hair when I need to, but I'm considering purchasing a higher-quality ceramic flat iron, and I don't think I'll be looking for the ability to flat iron wet hair.

I purchased the Remington Wet 2 Straight Iron today. I had been debating on whether or not I should get it for awhile, and I am so glad I did. African American hair can be very hard to straighten but this iron made it a breeze to get healthy, shiny, bouncy hair. I washed my hair, towel it for a second, and used the iron. The results were marvelous. I can not stop running my fingers thru my hair. GREAT ITEM.

This is an excellent styling tool! I love the adjustable heat settings, because even as I straighten my hair, untouched parts go from wet to damp. I love that I never have to put any extra heat on my hair.

My hair is fine and very frizzy and curly. This will keep it straight for twenty-four hours, which is amazing. It means that I can straighten my hair before bed, wake up, and go with only minimal touch-ups. As the mother of two children, one of them a young infant, I need all the help I can get in saving time. Not having to dry my hair before straightening it is a real help.
