About this deal

My curls certainly define my look, It’s very rare for you guys see me without my famous curls. After Remington styled my hair last week at London Fashion Week, I wanted to try out their new Air Plates and see what all the hype was about. However, not all straighteners are created equal and there are several things you need to consider before buying: Hair Type

Put simply, the form factor of the Air Plates Compact is the biggest selling point – but also their biggest downfall. Likewise, if you have thinner wavy hair, you would want to opt for a straightener with a smaller plate that applies less heat to avoid damaging your hair. Plate material Standard (1 inch): Most hair straighteners come in one-inch plate sizes that can be used on just about every kind of hair, be it long or short. While it’s not ideal for every hair type, it should be suitable if you need an all-purpose hair straightener. All hair types. Tourmaline straighteners are effective even at lower temperatures and heat in seconds. They get the job done without dehydrating your tresses, help reduce frizz and leave your hair looking shiny. Plate widthThe plates themselves are 10cm long and are made from ceramic-coated titanium. This means they’ll be durable, but not quite as effective as the solid ceramic plates you’d find on more premium irons. 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.

Unless you’re super-keen on their size and can deal with the downfalls this brings, the smart move would be to put the money you’d spend here towards a better pair of straighteners that suit both travel and day-to-day home use without the compromises seen here. Verdict 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. Large (More than 1 inch): Anything larger than a one-inch plate is considered a large straightener, which can be found in sizes 1.25 inch right up to 2.5-inch models .The longer the hair, the faster you’ll be able to straighten it with a large-bodied iron. Temperature control 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.Far-infrared technology smooths your cuticles while producing a shiny finish. 3D Floating plates that make it easy to use with zero pinching or pulling your hair. Heats up in 30 seconds

Ceramic coated plates are great for smoothing out hair and reducing frizz. Heating evenly and gently, ceramic plates do less damage to your hair and evenly distribute heat. ENGINEERED BY FASZIN】Designed by top German engineers, listening to the customers: the LCD display is clear and easily readable; 30 Minutes auto shut-off is safe to use; dual voltage for global compatibility, more convenient; 2.2-meter 360°swivel cord, reach to style your hair from any angle. 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.

Nonetheless, they are of course good quality in terms of material - they are lightweight and the plates are a nice width. They come with a super handy rubber sleeve that you can put the hot plates in to cool down. I am a little disappointed by these straightners. Their visuals - no temperature on show - they have 5 different heat settings which is displayed in the format of dots (1 - 5 dots, 5 dots is the highest temperature) so it is not easy to tell what temperature you are actually using. 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.
