REVAMP Progloss Ultra X Shine Ceramic Hair Straightener - Flat Iron w/Wide Ceramic Ionic Floating Plates, Salon Professional Straightening and Curling for Long, Thick Hair, Ultra Fast Heat Technology

Product Information

Ceramic plates: they are slower to warm up than other materials, but they distribute heat more evenly. They tend to be cheaper too, but are more prone to chipping. In the Good Housekeeping Institute lab, our experts used a Bossa Nova Shuffle machine to assess how long their style lasted and how much frizz was created in a humid environment. Revamp Progloss Ultra X Shine Wide Ceramic Hair Straightener: Best straighteners for afro-textured hair Ultra-fast pro PTC heat technology gives ultra-fast heat up and heat recovery for one stroke styling

Ionic technology: when there’s too much positive charge on each hair strand, they begin to repel each other, making hair static and flyaway. This technology helps to neutralise the charge, smoothing strands down instead. Scratched plates: after a few years, you may start to notice scratches or even dents on the plates. This can lead to snagging (ouch) and means your hair is more likely to experience heat damage. Hair products can often sink into the dents too, which not only smells unpleasant, but won’t help your hair either. Ultra-fast digital heat 80ºC - 235ºC (170ºF - 450ºF) ready to style in seconds for long-lasting, beautiful looks whatever your hair type, even artificial hair (using lowest setting) The straightener is light in weight – just 520g – but feels strong and well built in the hand, while the plates exert a consistent pressure on the hair, meaning even tightly coiled hair straightens well on the first pass of the tool. The results are glossy and long-lasting, with hair still straight at the end of a typical day. While the plates are wide and able to work through larger amounts of hair with ease, the slightly bevelled design means it’s also easy to get close to the roots for a smooth finish. A great alternative to the GHD Max, especially for curly girls.Progloss™ super smooth oils - Keratin, Argan and Coconut oil infused ceramic plates for ultimate smoothness Press the Power button to turn on the straightener. The default temperature when the product switches on for first time use is 180°C.

One pass of the tool is usually enough to straighten the hair at 185ºC; the result is silky-smooth hair in half the time it might take to style with a standard 1in plate straightener.
