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. The PROluxe You Adaptive Straightener has Two 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. Discover More Positioned at the front of the hair dryer underneath the cold shot button is a hexagon shaped sensor.This hair straightener has a function that sets the temperature to 185C, which the brand says helps create healthy and shiny hair minus the guilt from daily styling. It's designed to target heat where the hair needs it most and Remington says the results should last up to 24 hours, too. The hot plates are ceramic-coated and “ultra-smooth” to avoid snagging and are supposed to deliver 5x smoother results than your standard ceramic straighteners. It also has nine heat settings, going up to 230C. 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.

I’m a bit of a control freak, so although it’s the key selling point of the styler, I personally didn’t love relinquishing control of the heat settings in the adaptive mode. As I do use heat regularly, I want to keep split ends to a minimum so tend to use my straighteners on a hotter setting after washing, and then on a cooler one for touch-ups in between. This allows you to choose how you would like your hair to be dried, according to the personal needs of your hair. 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. I liked the result of luscious curls without any frizz or damage, and I felt that the tool provided both healthier styling and the loose curls that I was looking for. I had wondered if the AI technology would make the curling wand more complicated to use somehow, but it all seemed super straightforward.

I’m not one to curl my hair every day, so perhaps this is a tool for die-hard curler users that want or need a tool to both style and take care of their hair. 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°. Your hair is unique, so your styling tools should be too. That's why the PROluxe You Adaptive Straightener is just for you. It's Intelligent StyleAdapt Technology learns, adapts and personalises the heat to your hairs' own styling needs - so you can achieve all day lasting salon-quality results that are tailored to you. I loved the idea of a styler that adapts to my hair, but I can’t truthfully say that I’ve seen a difference from a standard curler. After using the Remington Proluxe You Adaptive Wand.

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?Your hair is unique. That’s why the PROluxe You® Range including a hair dyer, hair straighter and hair styler, is made for you. Its Intelligent StyleAdapt™ Technology learns, adapts and personalises the heat to your hairs’ own styling needs – so you can achieve All Day Lasting*, Healthier** salon-quality results that are tailored to you. But it is a luxe, salon-like experience, and I feel that over time you would experience stronger hair due to the personalisation settings. Our testers liked using the Pro+ function, as it didn’t overheat the hair but was still effective at styling. It left hair shinier and feeling “silky smooth”, with all of the panel agreeing that their hair looked healthier after using the straighteners. The variable temperature functions made it suitable for those with different hair types and our testers were happy with the heat-up time. The styler was lightweight and most agreed that one swipe was enough to produce satisfactory results. Key Specifications The sensor. Photo: Emma Hobday My overall thoughts on the Remington PROluxe You Adaptive Hair Dryer 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.
