Remington Pro-Ceramic Extra Wide Plate Hair Straighteners for Longer Thicker Hair, Digital Temperature Control - S5525, Black

Product Information

Straightening tools that use tourmaline plates can achieve optimum results at lower temperatures, so if you straighten your hair often you may want to consider spending a little more on a tool that can be used effectively on cooler settings. This will result in less heat damage. Nano-ceramic plates seamlessly glide through hair for snag-free smoothing, while your straightener will be hot and ready to go in just 30 seconds. They come with adjustable heat control, so you can select the right temperature for your hair texture, from 165ºC to 210ºC. The intelligent heat-control system takes 100 measurements per second to ensure the temperature remains even throughout the process, so there’s no risk of damage from scorching.

Ten different temperature settings, ranging from 150°C to 235°C allow you to tailor the heat to suit your individual hair type – and heating up in just 15 seconds, you won’t be waiting around. Used in the same way as a straightener, the heated plates vaporize excess water through specifically designed vents, cleverly drying and straightening at the same time. Straight hair will never go out of fashion, so neither will the tools (the best hair straighteners) to achieve it. Research by consumer-trends analyst Mintel suggests that over one-third of women and one-fifth of men own a set of hair straighteners, and that number is growing. GHD and Cloud Nine are the dominant names in this market, but an ever-growing number of brands promise super-sleek, frizz-free straightening and more besides.Revamp Progloss Ultra X Shine Wide Ceramic Hair Straightener: Best straighteners for afro-textured hair Ultra glossy hair is all over the catwalks at the moment, so to achieve hair that positively shimmers and shines definitely recommend the Shine Therapy Straightener.

There’s also a “Revive” mode, which fixes the temperature at 150°C, but uses micro-vibrations in the plates during styling to help create longer-lasting styles, despite the low heat. This is a step up from the Cloud Nine Original Iron, featured above, and worked remarkably well in our testing.

GHD Platinum Plus Styler: The best hair straighteners for straightening curly hair

All hair straighteners work by heating the hair using metal plates. This causes the hydrogen bonds in the hair to break (a process that also takes place when the hair is wet). The straightening tool then passes over the hair, holding it in a new, flat position. The hair retains this new shape as it cools and the hydrogen bonds reform. If the hair is wrapped around the tool rather than held straight while cooling, then the hair will take on a loose curl shape instead. Beauty heavyweight Revlon offers a simple but good-value option in these straightening irons. The ceramic coating on the floating heating plates is infused with moisturising coconut oil, paired with ionic technology to maintain hydration in the hair shaft and discourage frizz and flyaways. A multi-tasking must-have, the Wet2Straight Wide Plate Straightener can cut precious time out of your styling routine.
