Remington S-1051 Sleek n Curl Digital Ceramic Hair Straightener with Tourmaline and Bonus DVD
Let me just say that the DVD included with the Remington S-1051 Sleek n Curl Tstudio iron is worth the price of the tool, itself — and this product is fabulous! The DVD presented the kind of information that stylists pick up at the International Hair Shows in Manhattan. The effects are stunning and the instruction is understandable for the novice, but sophisticated enough for the experienced operator.
I am a retired New York City salon owner. I can honestly say that if I was still in that line of work and had seen this product demonstrated at one of the hair shows, I would have purchased one for every station in my shop — even at a higher price.
If you are in the market for a new styling tool, this one is highly recommended. And because of its versatility, it also makes a wonderful gift for anyone in your circle!

Over the last year I have tested out several straighteners. This one rates somewhere in between my favorite (Healthy Infusions by Wahl Pro Straightener, 1 1/4″) and my least (Remington S9950 Shine Therapy Straightener, 1″).
Pros:
~ Left my hair smooth and straight using the highest setting.
~ Outside where you hold the plates closed stayed cool to the touch.
~ The included DVD is great! Both my daughter and I learned several new ways to use our flat irons.
Cons:
~ To get my hair smooth and straight I had to go over each section 2-3 times.
~ Took too long to heat up.
~ The temperature lock worked, but because of the button placement I did end up turning it off a couple times.
Because of my natural curl, I have found some straighteners work very well and others aren’t worth my time. This one did do a good job, but the time it took get that result was far too much. I’d recommend the Remington S-1051 Sleek n Curl Tstudio Collection Titanium Straightner with Tourmaline 1″ Slim Plates to someone with a slight wave or curl looking to replace or purchase a new straightener and who might benefit from the informative, easy to follow DVD that it comes with.

I got rid of my CHI thinking I should give my hair a vacation from heat, but after deciding I could not live without straightened hair, I wanted to get another iron without spending a lot of money. I decided to buy this one, but it caught a few strands of hair during the first use and it did not get my hair very straight. It just looked like I used the blow dryer to straighten it. Since it made my hair silky I would rate it a 3 star. I ended up taking mine back.

I don’t like where the buttons are, they are placed right where your fingers go to press the iron together, changing the temperature while ironing…etc. Then, I had trouble getting the plates to meet. They just wouldn’t close all the way. I would have to use a large section of hair and then it was to large to be effective.

This ceramic hair straightener is decent. You get what you pay for, basically. It works fine but if you really want to straighten your hair properly on a daily basis without damaging it, you should get one in the $100-$150 range. Just my opinion but I think many would agree with me. That said, the Remington S-1051 is not a bad product at all. The build quality is decent and it works fine. The temperature control is fine and it does what it says. I can’t complain but then again everyone’s hair is different and if you have extremely curly locks, you should probably invest in a better quality straightener that will last for many years to come. I don’t know how long this unit will last but I would say it isn’t going to break down any time soon as long as it’s not abused.
