    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of god girls.. DO NOT STRAIGHTEN your hair when it's wet.. it is sooooooooooooooooooo (x100000) bad for your hair you may not notice it straight away but it really damages your hair causes major split ends and pretty much burns your hair blow dry before straightening if its wet.. i know its more work.. but i've seen so many women screw their hair up from them.. and most hairdressers would faint if you told them you bought a wet to dry straightener

    Your hair needs to be 90% dry when you use a Remington W2S so it's definitely not sopping wet when you take it to your hair.

    sorry to disappoint but have also heard they really do ruin your hair...i'd stick to the dry hair only...(let's be honest - overuse of these do plenty of damage as well..)
    Goodluck with the research / purchase.

    DO NOT GET A WET/DRY STRAIGHTENER!!!!!! Yes, we would faint. They are horrible things the amount of people who have come into salons I have worked at with damage from using it on wet hair is shocking.
    You are better off getting a decent straightener, the cheapest being Wahl which you can get for around $40-$50 on sale at price attack (the slimline ones) or if you want to spend the money a GHD is the best.
    Use it on dry hair only, and get a heat protectant product, RPR make a good spray for around $20 and Keratase (a lorel brand) have one thats around $40.

    Although it will take you an extra 10-15mins to do your hair you wont cause much/if any damage to it.
