Plates

Ceramic Coated

These heat up quickly as they're excellent heat conductors. Low friction between plate and hair means there's less hair damage. These smooth plates will give you ultra straight hair with added shine.

Solid Ceramic

Solid ceramic plates retain heat at a constant temperature throughout the styling process and produce the smoothest and shiniest finish to hair. Ensures even heat across the plate, allowing for effective straightening in one go without having to go over an area twice.

Ceramic & Teflon Coated Plates

Teflon non-stick coating is exclusive to Remington and ensures the hair glides through the plates without snagging. Also prevents the build-up of styling products such as heat protection on the plates of the straightener which is a known cause of snagging.

Touramaline Ceramic Plates

Combine the benefits of ionic and infrared technology for healthier, more manageable hair. These plates generate negative ions to help lock in moisture and improve hair condition, whilst removing the static which causes frizz. They emit gentle infra-red heat as they glide through your hair for the ultimate high-shine finish.

Ceramic Diamond Plates with Teflon

High performance in one stroke. Improved high even heat and reduced hot spots for better protection. Incorporates a smooth Teflon coating (as above). Diamond improves the plates to give 75% smoother glide.

Nano Titanium Ceramic Plates

Advanced ceramic™ technology gives ultra fast heat recovery to ensure constant high heat performance.

Other Straightener Features
Wet to Straight	The only straightener in the market which can be used on wet and dry hair. Use from wet for superior results on really thick and curly hair, puts more moisture back into hair. If you try to straighten wet hair with normal straighteners you will fry your hair!
Variable Heat Setting	A dial or button lets you manually select the heat of the straightener plates to suit your hair type. This is great for those of us with different hair textures on different parts of our heads. For example, you can use a lower heat for the finer hair at the front of the head and a higher temperature for the crown of the head where hair is thicker. Using different temperatures will allow for less damage when straightening.
Hair Hydration System	A healthy hair contains approx. 10% moisture but a dry/damaged hair contains only 3-4% causing the hair to break. The damage defence straightener has a built in hair hydration system to re-balance moisture levels in hair as you style allowing you to straighten more often.
Digital	Accurately displays the temperature of your straightener and allows you to select the temperature to suit your hair. No more guesswork.
