Product Information

With more than 200 years of history, Remington doesn’t just build firearms: we learn from the past, assess the present and forecast the future. Our engineers devote thousands of hours to meticulously designing, testing and building quality-focused, performance-centric firearm products within the industry.

From inventing the first electric curling iron to their cutting edge straighteners and dryers today, BaByliss has remained at the forefront of the hair styling industry for over half a century. Their selection of styling tools has expanded rapidly to include tongs, crimpers, hair removal products, clippers and other beauty appliances. Like the BaByliss Titanium, the Remington flat iron has variable heat settings (five of them) ranging between 160C and 230C. A digital display shows you the current temperature. If you’re looking for a big and bouncy blow-dry; the kind you get at a salon, opt for the rounded bristle brush. You can use this attachment from wet to dry if you want maximum volume. This method is also great if you have thin and flat hair and want a style that will last all day. That said, we prefer to smooth and dry the hair to 80% with the paddle brush to smooth the hair before using the rounded brush to add volume at the roots, and bounce at the ends. BaByliss focuses on a smaller but more popular collection of tools. They have almost a dozen flat irons including the popular 3Q straightener and the similarly well-liked Diamond Straightener.

Someone else wrote: "GHD quality at a fraction of the price. These straighteners prove you don't always get what you pay for. Sometimes you get much, much more! I can't praise them enough." Of course, all of this is easier said than done. While the paddle brush and the hot brush were both intuitive to use, the hot tong took more practice. For all the manual control the Remington’s hinged clip gives, unless you grab the very ends of the hair and wrap them around the barrel first, you’re left with kinks at the bottom. These kinks become even more apparent if your hair is too wet. At Remington, we understand that you want to have fun with your hair style. So why buy two or three appliances when you can straighten, curl or create waves using just one amazing product?Key specs – Plates: Ceramic-coated, “floating spring” plates; Heat settings: 185ºC; Maximum temperature: 185ºC; Voltage: Universal; Cord length: N/A; Automatic shut-off time: 3 minutes; Warranty: 2 years
