Remington Beautini gift package - very similar to Precious

I spotted this Remington gift set in Boots today. It comprises a travel hairdryer and silver patterned mini straighteners which are strikingly similar to Precious. It comes in a black suede presentation box.

It's on offer online but wasn't reduced in-store:

C9 launch to rival ghd

Cloud 9 straighteners have launched in the UK. There's lots of discussion online about whether they are better than ghd, with varying opinions.

Here's the official line: "Cloud nine hair irons have been specially designed to provide more style with less heat. In the past straightening irons worked by styling the hair with as much heat as possible by apply heat directly into the hair follicle to change its shape. The reality is that most styles can be created with less heat to create the style. By working at lower controllable temperatures cloud nine hair irons achieve this, not only with more control but avoiding unnecessary hair damage due to excess heat and the need to use a heat protection product. The technology was developed by the original creators of the GHD hair straighteners range; after a survey was carried out by their team they discovered that a selection of users would prefer a heat controllable hair iron. C9 Irons incorporate the latest ION technology with black plates which shine the hair on contact. They are available in standard, wide and micro to suit all hair types."

They look very similar to ghd, but with black plates - very sleek in appearance.
