## Description

Product Description Treat your hair to some therapy with the Remington Therapy Collection, a range of straighteners from Remington to help you create styles whilst caring for your hair. If you want more intense shine, to tackle frizz or to have healthier looking hair in an instant then look no further. This clever range of tools incorporate the next generation of Advanced Ceramic plates, infused with special Micro Conditioners, so not only will your hair be styled to perfection, it will be shiny and healthy looking too.When it comes to hair must-haves, shine always comes top. To get an irresistible combination of sleek and glossy hair, choose the Shine Therapy straightener which has been proven to give hair 86 Percent more show-stopping shine in a consumer blind test of 60 respondents versus their own high street straightener, excluding heavily bleached hair. The Advanced Ceramic coated plates on these super smart straighteners are infused with Moroccan Argan Oil, a natural ingredient renowned for its shine enhancing properties, as well as Vitamin E, conditioners and moisturisers. When heated, these wonder Micro Conditioners evenly emit through the plates and on to your hair. Your tresses will be left looking intensely glossy and in 88 Percent better condition, softer and straighter.With its nine different temperate settings you can tailor the heat to suit your hair type. For hair that’s more sensitised/damaged use lower temperatures, or for thicker hair that needs a boost, dial the temperature up for smooth results that last from morning to night. The floating plates ensure even pressure on the hair for professional results and its fast 15-second heat up time is great for getting ready in a hurry. Directions 1. Plug in the Remington Shine Therapy Straightener. 2. Select your desired temperature using the Digital Precise Temperature Control. 3. Wait for the straightener to heat up. 4. Section your hair and straighten it using the ceramic heater surface. 5. Ensure even heat distribution and smooth gliding. 6. Use the lightweight design for easy handling. P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); Safety Warning Burn hazard: Surfaces get extremely hot during use.

Do not leave unattended when plugged in. Keep out of reach of children. See more

Review: Uh-mazing!! - These are amazing! The price is quite good. Speed is very quick, they heat up within literally 15 seconds. My hair is thick and wavy and long, had it on a 200°c setting and it flattened it like a hot knife in butter. Colour is a nice white and has turquoise plates. The weight is so light. Only took at least 10mins for my hair to be this straight (Picture included) It glided so smoothly. It has a lock function underneath the handles for storage, it comes with it's own bag to store it in and to put the straighteners on when warming up and cooling down. My hair is smooth thanks to the Moroccan Argan Oil. I'd happily recommend this over GHD anyday! Durability 100%
Review: 11 months in and still love it! This is amazing! Better than GHDs! - I got this Remington Shine Therapy Straightener / Styler on offer, so it was a bargain. I’ve used GHDs since 2002, having tried pretty much every model since it started. My current GHD is the platinum + model, and I have also tried their newest model, the Chronos, but I can honestly say that this Remington Shine Therapy straightener works better on my hair, straightening and curling it more quickly. I have naturally wavy/ fluffy hair, which is quite fine but there’s a lot of it. It goes very frizzy as soon as there’s a bit of drizzle/humidity and I can never blow dry it anywhere near straight. When it fluffs up, it looks like a lion’s mane. I’ve only been using these for a few days, but am blown away by how great they are. The plates are also longer than ghds, which I find makes them easier to curl/wave with, and quicker to straighten with. When switched on, they heat up quickly, though the temperature display seems to flash for a couple of minutes (I haven’t timed it), which I believe indicates they are still heating up. However, I feel they work great even when the display is still flashing. When they switch on, they default to 190 degrees, so if you want them cooler or hotter, you just need to adjust with the buttons. I find 190 to be perfect for my hair, though I haven’t tried it cooler. It glides through my hair so easily. I can’t believe how quickly and effectively it straightens my hair; it has never felt softer or looked healthier. It’s great at curling/waving too, producing long lasting waves for a natural beachy look. There’s a button to lock the plates closed when not in use. This is a great idea but I do sometimes find it a little stiff so I tend not to use it. It’s not something that’s featured on any of my ghds before, so I will probably just continue to use the silicone sleeve I have from my ghd platinums, which holds the styler closed. If I straighten my hair with this, it remains pretty straight until I wash it again (sometimes just needing a straightening top up if it’s been tied in a ponytail. I needed to straighten my hair daily with my GHDs regardless of whether it was a hair wash day or not. The results are so much better with this than my ghds. I should also state that I have used cloud 9s too, which I didn’t think were that great. I can honestly say that this is the best straightener/styler I have ever used. I think I’d just assumed that no one would ever make anything anywhere near as good as ghds but I suppose 20+ years have passed since GHD infiltrated the market. Before spending loads of money on a top of the range one, give this a try, especially if it’s on offer. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed. Edit: I’m now nearly 8 weeks in, and my hair still loves this straightener. I wondered if the honeymoon period would wear off, but it hasn’t! And the best of it is, I haven’t had to do anything to my hair (other than brush it) since I washed it (and blow dried and straightened it) two days ago. That was unheard of before I owned this :) Edit: May 2025. It’s almost 11 months since I purchased this and I still stand by how amazing it is. The condition of my hair is the best it’s ever been. I don’t need to re straighten or wave my hair every day like I did with my GHDs; it stays straight or wavy (however I have styled it) until it’s washed again. And the condition of my hair after washing and drying is much better than it’s ever been. My hairdresser has noticed a huge improvement in my hair too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect straighteners!
*by S***. on 28 January 2026*

My third pair purchased, I have one wide plate and two regular. They are absolutely fantastic straighteners, I stumbled upon these by accident when I was staying in an air B&B, they were in the drawer for me to use, and I’ve not looked back since. Quick to heat, and so easy to use. I’ve found previous brands to completely dry out my hair, almost giving it a dullness, these? They leave my hair super shiny. I can’t rave about Remington enough, my mum now has a pair, my aunty, we all have them. My hair is long in length, the wider plates are fantastic for curling with to give that curly wave style. They weigh nothing literally, super lightweight. Amazing straighteners, an absolute steal for the price!
