Remington PROluxe You Adaptive Hair Straighteners - Intelligent Straightener with StyleAdapt Heat Technolgy and Advanced Diamond Ceramic Coating, S9880

Product Information

If you are sharing your curler, you can press the StyleAdapt button (a small hexagon enclosed in a larger hexagon shape) to reveal StyleAdapt 2 on the display, which means that someone else can use it without the tool unlearning what it has about your hair. But if you’re perfectly happy with your current hair dryer and hair curler, and aren’t overly fussed about having personalised hair tools, I wouldn’t necessarily feel that you need the Remington Proluxe range. This allows you to choose how you would like your hair to be dried, according to the personal needs of your hair. This is hotter than I would usually go (for reference, my GHD Platinum+ hair straightener is set at 185°C) and I haven’t yet tested for long enough to see how this would impact the health of my hair. It is a catch-22 situation, as I would need to pass over each section of hair multiple times using these straighteners at lower temperatures, compared to just one pass at a higher heat setting.For these reasons, I’d be likely to switch between adaptive and manual modes. Remington Proluxe You Adaptive Straightener review: My verdict Positioned at the front of the hair dryer underneath the cold shot button is a hexagon shaped sensor.

You can also adjust the temperature settings with the plus or minus buttons as per a standard curling wand, with the temperature beginning at 130° and rising in 10° increments to 210°. We all want to create that salon-quality blow-dry, but finding the right temperature setting or technique for creating it can be difficult. Your hair is unique, so what works for someone else might not work for you. That’s why the PROluxe You Adaptive Hairdryer features I feel that although I couldn’t see any visible changes, that my hair was still being better looked after than if I were to use a standard hair dryer, due to its personalised styling and personalised heat settings.For the tool to learn about your hair, you need to wrap your hair around the StyleAdapt sensor that takes the form of a raised bar that’s approximately 4cm long on the underside of the wand, and wait 10-20 seconds for your hair to curl, whilst an LED indicator spins to show that the styler is learning about your hair. But this was no ordinary launch, oh no — it was the first ever AI hair care range, called Remington PROluxe You, whereby AI technology learns and adapts the heat of its tools (including the aforementioned hair dryer and curler, plus a straightener, hot brush and hot air styler) to your personal styling wants and needs. Impressive, eh? After using the Remington Proluxe You Adaptive Wand. Photo: Emma Hobday My overall thoughts on the Remington PROluxe You Adaptive Wand When you turn the straightener on for the first time, it automatically defaults to StyleAdapt1 mode. Then, as you work through the hair section by section the sensor strip in the center of the plates starts getting to know your hair. The little icon on the display panel spins as you style, indicating that it’s learning what your hair needs and adjusting the temperature accordingly. The sensors can read the hair temperature up to 2,500 times in a single styling session, but neither the current temperature (nor any changes to the temperature) are shown on the display.

Although I didn’t personally see a difference in using the hair dryer (I’ve been using it for about four weeks) I do trust that Remington is a good brand that knows what they’re doing when it comes to hair care.

The Microprocessor stores the temperature adjustments, becoming smarter every time you style and predicting adjustments ahead of time.

When the Manual mode is on, that simply means that you just want to dry your hair normally without any fancy technology, and so the StyleAdapt Technology sensor doesn't light up). Remington hair straighteners come with ultra-thin plates that are a brilliant option for achieving straight hair and soft curls. And have a look at our BaByliss hair straighteners too. Or, for frizzy hair, our range of wide plate straighteners is ideal for helping you achieve a glossy shine with a natural healthy look.

The PROluxe You Adaptive Straightener has 2 StyleAdapt user profiles to store two sets of unique user data. Both users can individually store their personalised heat setting - perfect for if you share your straighteners with someone else. Remington’s Proluxe You Adapt Straighteners heat up in an impressive 15 seconds, and I started on the curliest parts of my hair in the StyleAdapt1 mode. The first time I used them, it took two slow passes through each section of hair to properly smooth and straighten, but by the second use, it only took one go. It felt much hotter from the second go too, and I can only assume this is because the straightener had learned that it needed to bring out the big guns to whip my hair into shape. I like the glamorous aesthetic, as you truly feel like you’re bringing the salon into your home, with its variety of concentrators, glossy ceramic coating and LCD display.

So, what's the verdict of my Remington Proluxe You Adaptive Straightener review? If you’re looking for a smart straightener that knows how to give you smooth, sleek hair fast, then this is worth every single penny. It glides through their hair easily with no snagging, and the results are long-lasting. You will need to be a little patient though, as it does take a few uses for the straighteners to fully adapt to your hair’s needs. As you can get quite a lot of hair between the plates at once, it took around 15 minutes to fully straighten my shoulder-length hair in four sections. I was impressed with the results: shiny hair that felt soft and silky with just a small amount of static. I’ve had this kind of result from straighteners before, only to find that I have fluffy and frizzy hair come lunchtime, but these really did go the distance, and my hair was just as satisfyingly sleek by evening.
