Wet/dry flat iron
- Can be used on damp hair
- Inexpensive
- 30 heat settings
- Vented steam can burn hands
- Won't work on completely wet hair
If you don't want to blow-dry your hair first, the Remington Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron is one of the few flat irons able to work on damp hair. Unlike traditional flat irons, the Remington vents steam away from hair, allowing it to dry without additional damage. A handful of users warn that care should be taken when using it since the steam can easily burn your hands. Many owners say it doesn't work on completely wet hair -- just damp hair. Others say it takes several passes to dry and straighten hair, and that sometimes the resulting style isn't completely dry. In the same price range, reviewers suggest the Conair Instant Heat 2-inch Ceramic Straightener (*Est. $21), a standard flat iron meant for use on dry hair only.
We found the best review of the Remington Wet 2 Straight Flat Iron at Good Housekeeping, where several styling tools that can be used on damp hair are tested and compared. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" aired a small segment on hair tools in which beauty expert Paula Begoun recommends this flat iron as a convenient option. User reviews at Amazon.com, Drugstore.com and Target.com give good feedback regarding real-world experience.
