Our verdict
Gel or gadget, that is the split. Eco Style's olive-oil gel is £3.94 for a 57g pot, an alcohol-free, maximum-hold formula that lays edges, defines curls and holds a slick updo, rated 4.4 on 64,042 reviews. Remington's Shine Therapy straightener is £24.99, with argan-infused ceramic plates, nine heat settings from 150 to 230 degrees, a 15-second warm-up and auto shut-off, and it edges the rating at 4.6 on 35,493 reviews. The gel is a frequent rebuy that empties fast; the straightener is a one-off you keep for years. It comes down to whether you style with hold or with heat.
