Remington Air Plates Titanium Ceramic Hair Straighteners, Floating Plates for Increased Contact - S7412, White

Product Information

Unique technology protects the health of your hair for touchable smoothness and shine. Millions of active ions restore the moisture balance of your hair and instantly tame frizzy hair and fight static. Narrow plates allow for precision stylings, such as getting rid of those kinks and fringes, and for straightening right from the root. Gold accents, plates and an enhanced design make this ghd gold mini styler the luxe option for fine hair (Oh La La). The Good Curling isn’t quite as effective, but it is at least possible with some perseverance. Curls were loose, however, and didn’t hold for as long as those created by the Lee Stafford’s Rainbow Shine straighteners, for example, plus the shorter form factor of the Air Plates Compact made it more difficult to hold steady while curling too.

However, this causes issues with handling, making us question the Air Plates’ suitability for everyday use.

Put simply, the form factor of the Air Plates Compact is the biggest selling point – but also their biggest downfall. The white plastic body feels pretty sturdy, if perhaps not the most premium in the hand. The white finish is likely to become grubby over time, although the Air Plates’ smooth surface is easily wiped down should they require it. With next to no handle to grip the device, you’re having to hold much further up the body and therefore closer to the the plates. While their suspended plate design means the Air Plates Compact don’t become hot on the outside, you’ll still feel the steam coming off your hair, which can burn your hand if you aren’t careful. The Air Plates’ compact size results in a light overall weight of just 215g. Cable length is decent, with the 2.5-metre swivel cord suitable for most situations.

They glide through hair easily without catching. You can press the ion button and add extra shine to your hair! Hold them further down to avoid this situation and you lose some grip and control when styling. Styling is further hindered by the fact the plates don’t come together as snugly as we might like – which may be more of an issue for those with fine hair. The suspended plates are an interesting feature, and certainly do a good job of keeping the outer casing of the straighteners cool – they sit away from the casing. Variable temperature allows heat to be adjusted from a super low 80 degrees up to a high maximum heat of 200 degrees. Cool–touch technology – Ensures the outer casing remains cooler to the touch, for more comfortable styling.Not only is this straightener great for thin hair it is also suitable for both men’s and women’s hair which makes it nice and versatile (You know your partner uses your straighteners anyway). The Not So Good Customers felt they stayed rather warm for hours after use, so you would need to be careful not to touch them even when they have been off for a while. Our View Due to their small size and lightweight body, the Remington Air Plates Compact are straighteners aimed at the regular traveller. However, at just 5cm shorter than a device such as the GHD Gold, they’re hardly a huge space-saver.
