I wonder if this model is hot enough to straighten hair? I had the 110v white and pink one, which is really hot but got burned in Europe.

it starightens my light wavy hair- not really a strong force of air coming out

This model has 2 setting for the voltage. Because this model is designed for international travelers. If you follow the collect setting you will not get burned. But it seems like it will not really hot and it will take me to forever to straight my hair. So, even if it is not correct, I will use the hottest setting for me. However, it is not burning my hair and it is working perfectly for me.

If that one has the same power rating (Watts), then this one should be able to do whatever your other one did.

My wife has naturally curly hair, so that is the main reason she uses this device. She asked my to add that it would be better to get the model (or option) with a round brush, not the comb-like one that came with it. She also finds the power on/off button awkward to find while using this item. A larger and better placed on/off switch would be an improvement, but this is still her main all-purpose hair straightener (if that's the right term).

It's not dual voltage. The one we received says only 120v on the straightener and in the manual, and the website http://www.remingtonproducts.com/womens/haircare/FlatIrons/Style-Purple-1-Digital-Heat-Ceramic-Flat-Iron.aspx has a post from the manufacturer 3 years ago "Thank you for your message. This product has recently changed and is no longer available with dual voltage. Please contact our consumer service department for assistance exchanging your product for a dual voltage one. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause."

Yes. It does work with 110v. I love this straightener and just ordered a second one for my daughter.

I used mine in France and Italy for a curling iron where it worked perfectly. When I used it with my 1875 watt hair dryer, it turned off after about 5 minutes. I thought it was broken but it worked fine again in a few minutes. I'm guessing it got too hot and needed to cool down. Good product--Enjoy!

No you do not. Any straightener will do. The hotter the better. If you have one with a higher temperature it would be best but it is not necessary to have a fancy one. I used the one I have had for a long time and it worked great.

I threw the package away, and it isn't imprinted anywhere on the device that I can see. It says "worldwide dual voltage" which, in theory, should go up to 240v. I used it in Italy with no problems, if that helps. Otherwise here is an iron claiming 240v: http://dualvoltageflatiron.wordpress.com/2012/09/08/nume-pro-zebra-tourmaline-ceramic-hair-straightener-flat-iron-dual-voltage-110v-240v/ Nume zebra pro tourmaline ceramic straightener 110-240v

hi, i just got a chi a little while ago and it works very well! i think it curls better than anything.. and i thought when i got it that i wouldnt get hot on the outside but it actually does.. stinks right? but i learned how to curl my hair very well without putting my fingers on that end of the straightener. i think you should get the chi anyways and just learn how to do it without touching it. its actually a lot easier than it seems.. and practice makes perfect... i did not go out in public the first time i curled it :P

I cannot say that it will work for a device with heating element like the one you have and wish to use for. The specification itself says up to 200 watts. You will have to see watts indicated on your hair straightener.

I wouldn't recommend using heat products on it, but I will admit I straightened the hair once before. It basically makes the hair look fried.:\ if you keep the iron on the lowest setting and run it through quickly, it should be fine. I used hairspray in mine, so the "fried" look could be a result from the use of hairspray. best of luck. hope I was able to be of some help to you!

Request replacement from Amazon (yours is defective). Mine defaults to 390 degrees when first turned on and it's a perfect temp. You can decrease or increase (for wet hair) from there. Btw: after a few months of owning, I still love using this Shine Therapy model. Return yours, and you'll see for yourself.

I had the same problem and used cord to turn it on and off. When I burnt it out traveling overseas I replaced it with same one anyway. It's a shame because it's a great straightener. Maybe company will help if you contact them. I never tried.

I don't see any wattage listed. It is not very good for curling hair that is fine. May be okay as a straightener. I have very fine, gray hair that doesn't hold a curl. Sorry I could not be of more help. It is made in China, if that helps any. Would not buy another one.

I got this directly from what it says in the manual that came with it, "Plug the straightening iron into a standard electrical outlet (120V)." So like the person before me said, 110V would be correct.

There must be something wrong with the dryer. The two settings on mine are cool and warm enough to dry the hair, but definitely not hot. I've never burned my scalp or my hair. I really like this dryer, so maybe you send it back or contact the company.

This gets hot..I rarely use it at hottest setting..I love it..it blows my hair shiny and smooth without much effort..I can just use condenser, and aim down..little brush work needed.

Actually I straightened my curly one just fine, I set my flat iron at 325 degrees and as long as you just glide it over the strands and don't hold it in a single place it should be fine.

I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL. They all look good when you open the box, but the plates aren't what they're supposed to be. So even if you could straighten your hair wet with the real one, you couldn't with the fake one therefore thinking the Nano product isn't good when actually its a fake. Think about it. A $200 hair straightener for $40? Don't make the same mistake I made twice. Buy a Chi for $69.99 at Marshall's. Its got tourmaline plates and you know its not a fake I've never seen a straightener used on wet hair before, I wouldn't recommend it, it would probably smoke up and frizz rather than work properly, I'd also probably wouldn't buy any hair straightener from Amazon, they're all fake unfortunately, and yes I said ALL.
