Remington Wet Hair Straightener

After 2 years good service, the electric cord has developed a break. After much research, it would seem that there are no Remington agents to carry out repairs. There are no spares for the gromit + lead replacement and so evenif one was to benefit from a gurantee repair, there would be seemingly nobody that could repair it. Alternative is to purchase a new one, but there are none available locally and one cannot order outside of Canada and USA off the internet... what to do?

My hair is naturally thick, soft and wavy. The last time I put a straightener to my hair was 2006 so I decided to try again...
I used it on wet hair, and it totally fried it! It's now frizzy and feels kinda hard, and horrible. Despite the fact I had no split ends beforehand, I am suddenly spotting loads-and I got my hair cut a few days ago so I'm pretty annoyed!

I would only recommend to people who have thin hair and want to use this straightener dry. Watch out!

i bought this straightener about two years ago.and havent had to replace it. it straightens my fantastically. i try not to use it with my hair wet because it isnt really all that good for it but when i have it took a little longer but it came out even straighter. i have thick coarse wavy hair and it makes it look thick fine and ultra straight.it is 24.22 online at walmart. i had a 200 dollar chi and it shorted out on me within 6 months. those of you say you dont like it and that it doesnt work need to be patient and separate out sections of your hair into small sections and then try slowly, because it doers work. if you cant make it work not even a chi will work for you, so good luck with your wavy, curly, or whatever hair.
