Hair straighteners

The Remington S6500 Sleek and Curl Hair Straightener is a digital hair straightener with Advanced Ceramic that has been specifically crafted by professionals to create both straight and curly styles. This versatile appliance keeps your hair shiny and healthy looking while still meeting fashion forward hair trends. So whatever your look, the Sleek and Curl makes it happen.

Ceramic--the hair straightener essential

Ceramic has become the big buzz word in hair straightening--quite simply the more the better. The grade and quantity of ceramic coating determines so much about the quality of your straighteners. It affects how well the heat distributes throughout the straightener, keeping it at the temperature selected and even throughout the plate with no hot spots. It creates an easy and effortless glide during straightening with no snagging, flattening your hair cuticles for silky, smooth and shiny results. And it ensures long-life plate wear, protecting the plates against styling product and scratching.

What is Advanced Ceramic?

Advanced Ceramic is a sol-gel based ceramic coating widely used in the industry as a premium ceramic coating. This coating contains nano-ceramic particles which are smaller and more concentrated than in standard ceramic making it smoother providing a better glide through your hair. And Remington's coating experts have optimised sol-gel ceramic and engineered a superior Advanced Ceramic coating which delivers even greater smoothness with no compromise on hardness or wear.

Smooth, hard and long-lasting

Scientific tests have found that Advanced Ceramic outperforms standard ceramic in every department. It is:

• 10 times more ceramic than a standard ceramic coating, providing a high and even heat.
• 2 times smoother with a 60 per cent smoother glide. Friction tests show the plates run through the hair more easily with less snagging.
• 34 per cent harder and so is 3 times more long-lasting, less susceptible to scratching and styling product damage.

Straight or curly? Take your pick

If you want straight hair one day and bouncy waves the next, the Sleek and Curl is your ticket to achieve salon-perfect results. It's versatility means you're not restrained to just one look and can instead mix it up to reflect your mood. It can create up to six different hairstyles making it effectively a six-in-one, so there's a hairstyle for almost every day of the week.

Steven Goldsworthy, President for the Fellowship of British Hairdressing and Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year 2008 adds: “This one appliance can create a multitude of styles from stunning straight looks to glamorous movie star waves. This is a great, professional feel appliance... it’s pure class in its design and delivery and so are the results.”

Heats up to 230 degrees Celsius

The Remington Sleek and Curl Hair Straightener helps you stay in control with a variable heat control ranging from 150 to 230 degrees Celsius. With its easy to read digital display and temperature lock, you can decide the heat level that’s right for you. Want to keep it cool and mild? Push the minus button repeatedly to decrease the temperature. Want to turn up the heat? Switch to the plus button and push repeatedly instead until you reach the high maximum of 230 degrees Celsius.

Secure the chosen temperature with the LCD lock which prevents you from accidentally changing the temperature. Or if you want a short, sharp burst of extra heat, hit the turbo boost for an instant shot of power.

Don't know what temperature to choose? If you have:

Coloured, bleached or fine hair--lower heat settings are advisable.

Normal hair--opt for a mid range temperature.

Coarse or thick hair--crank it up with the maximum heat settings.

Fast to hot up

This high heat kicks in as soon as you switch the straightener on, being ready to use in only 15 seconds. So whether you're in a mad morning rush or quickly transforming your look from day to night, just switch on, count to 15 and get styling.

Long, slim, floating plates for silky strokes

Every dimension of the Sleek and Curl's plates makes it easy and effortless to use. They measure a long 110 millimetres (mm) in length meaning you can style more of your hair in one stroke, while the plates are slim allowing them to fit neatly in your hand without feeling uncomfortable and chunky. They are also floating to ensure even pressure distribution throughout, while the curved edges do their bit to produce superior curling adding a natural roundness. And to stop the hair falling off the edges, there's a handy hair guide to give greater control.

Easy and safe to use

Ever leave the house and worry that you accidentally forgot to switch off your straighteners? Breathe a sigh of relief and never worry again thanks to the Sleek and Curl's auto shut-off function which takes effect after 60 minutes. And when you've perfected your style, it's easy to store away for next time with the plate lock. It also boasts a 2.5 metre (m) swivel cord for manoeuvrability and longer reach.
