Definitely go with GOLD & HOT ive used this straightner (gold & hot) for years and it just broke after 4 years of using it. Its awesome with hair I promise you! In any type of hair ive used it on already normal straight hair, on severly curly hair, on african american hair.. name it I adore it!

I can only speak for the Remington and it has been great since day 1. You wont be disappointed.

Mine says Redken/Rowenta Salon on the basin. I agree with others it is the very best straightener anywhere. I too have coarse curly hair and it is soo soft after using the steamer.

Yes it's AMAZING!!! I paid for a chi maybe a week before and it sucks. The Remington is 1000000 times better than any other straightener!!

I'm not sure but what I'm sure about is this straightener is really good. We have two at home since my girls and I were fighting over the one! We all have thick, curly/frizzy hair and you'd never know it after straightening.

I have bought numerous remington products and I have to say this one dissapointed me. It does not heat up as much and take way more longer to straighten hair.

The older model worked fine until I had a short in the cord. But it lasted for about six years, so I attributed that to general wear and tear. The newer model does seem less sturdy, I've only had it for about a month but I haven't had any issues with it.As far as it not straightening hair, I have very coarse hair and it straightens it with no problem, in fact I never use the highest heat setting because 415 degrees is hot enough for me, even though it goes up to 450.

Titanium is better than just ceramic. It's better on your hair. Still use a heat protecting spray before you use it. Hope that helps answer your question

Hi- This is so awesome. I had many flat irons in the past and none can match this one. My hairdresser used this flat iron on my hair and it was fantastic. Glides easily, adjustable temps and ceramic. I would highly recommend.

Sounds like you have a lot of hair. I would go for the bigger one (1.5). It's going to grab more in the bristles with the bigger surface area on the brush, and likely cut down on the amount of time it would take to style. I always find a bigger barrell easier to wield than a smaller one with these dryers, curling irons, etc. My hair is just past shoulders, layered, fairly thick and wavy and this works wonderfully!

I have tried them both (both 1") and much prefer the turbo. regular: one heat setting, gets HOT near the plates, on/off in an awkward spot turbo: variable heat settings, flashes a light when turned on (helps remember to turn it off), doesn't get hot near plates - a little warm, but not bad. they both straighten very well, but for the extra $20 I'd for sure choose the turbo. the only problem i've encountered is that the turbo electrical seems to crap out after 2 yrs of use. but still i'd buy one over a cheaper iron as it doesn't pull my hair out, etc.

I have had both a chi and non chi hairdryer in the 1875 and the chi dries faster and lasts longer than the non chi. It is important to have the 1875 if you have long and/or thick hair. You need the wattage and the chi dries more efficiently, therefore lasting longer. That has been my experience. I have thick and long hair and was buying a cheaper hair dryer every few months. With the chi, it dries faster and has lasted way longer.

Its around 1 1/2 inch ceramic plate and it can be used as both straightening and curling iron. It has a round backbone with sliding arm that can be adjusted depending upon whether you need tight or loose curls. It comes with a simplistic manual and very easy to use.

I think they are solid ceramic. I love this flat iron. My hair is fragile because of the straightener I have in it. Because I can adjust the heat and the plates are ceramic, my hair has not had as much damage as it would have had otherwise.

I own two sets of the Babyliss in both the ceramic (full set of rollers) and the titanium rollers(travel roller set). Personally I do not see any difference.... I love both. Supposedly the titanium heats at a lower temp thus minimizing frizz and hair damage BUT I have never had an issues with the ceramic set. Both are fabulous.

the first time I had this straightener it lasted me 3-4 years, it only died because it got dropped on a tile floor and broke. I bought it again after trying out a few other cheaper straighteners and not being happy with how well they worked or lasted. so in my opinion this straightener lasts a long time and I love it.

I have this razor as well as a Gillette Fatboy. This razor is quite a bit milder than the Fatboy, even with the Fatboy set to "1". I really enjoy my Parker, and feel its at least as good as my Fatboy. Its also a mild razor, so it'll give you the option of re-learning this method of shaving, and then purchasing a vintage when you get back into the groove. :-)

I don't have a chi but I do have a straightener by *sexy hair which is 1inch in width, 1 inch in height when closed and laid out on a flat surface, and 12 inches long. And that fits great in the smaller holes for me. The biggest hole i can fit my hot tools deep waver in and that thing is pretty big. Hope that helped to give you a little perspective. What's nice about this one is that it's vented and unlike the metal ones, this doesn't scratch or chip your tools.
