- • Best for: Users who want one tool for sleek straight styles and soft curls
- • Not ideal for: Those needing micro-adjustable temperatures beyond five preset levels
28mm polished true-titanium plates combine with a curved metal housing to allow both straightening and curling. Five heat settings up to 235°C with a 15 second heat-up speed and ionic anti-frizz technology support quick, smooth styling.
Smooth, glossy finishes – with smoothing titanium plates
Polished true-titanium plates, 28mm wide, deliver a smooth surface that reduces friction while conducting heat evenly across each section. The plate finish helps hair glide through with fewer snags and consistent contact for uniform results.
Single-pass smoothing becomes more achievable, reducing repeat strokes and minimising heat exposure. Hair appears shinier and feels smoother after styling.
Fast styling sessions – thanks to Advanced Ceramics heating system and 15 second heat-up
An Advanced Ceramics heating system brings plates to operating temperature in around 15 seconds and maintains consistent heat during use. Stable temperature across the plates helps prevent cold spots that can cause uneven styling.
Ready-to-use styling cuts preparation time and keeps each section consistent, so sessions finish quicker. Reliable heat control helps achieve the intended style without repeated passes.
Switch between straight and curled looks – with curved metal design and heated outer housing
Curved metal housing around the plates provides a smooth surface for wrapping hair to form curls and waves as well as for flat passes. Heated outer surfaces allow the tool to shape hair while the plates smooth and seal the fibre.
Create sleek straight styles in the morning and soft waves for evenings without a separate curling tool. The dual-purpose design simplifies a styling kit while saving bathroom space.
