Remington irons: features and model range

Hair irons have become an integral part of hair care, and they are used not only by professionals, but also ordinary girls at home. Now on the shelves there is a huge selection of irons, but there are brands that can be distinguished from the rest, for example, Remington.

The Remington brand appeared in the 19th century. However, back in 1816, the company was engaged in the production of weapons, and only a few decades later typewriters were added to the assortment. A complete change in the direction of activity occurred in 1937, when the company began to conquer the home appliance market. Now the brand is owned by Spectrum Brands Corporation (USA), and the main production is located in the People's Republic of China.

It was Remington who became the first to produce electric shavers for dry shaving, subsequently releasing replaceable heads for them. And also among the innovations of this brand are hair straighteners, trimmers for sensitive areas (male and female).

The products of this brand are considered the most demanded in the USA, Australia, Great Britain. It entered the European and Asian markets at the beginning of the 21st century. Specially for entering a new market, the German company Varta, which specializes in the production of batteries and flashlights, was acquired.

The company carefully monitors its range of products, every six months it changes by about 1/3. Changes can affect colors, designs, and even boxes.But it is worth noting that the products of this company always stand out favorably on store shelves due to attractive packaging.

Irons from Remington differ from their counterparts in build quality, wide model range, and reliability. The main feature of the company is the introduction of innovation - developers are always among the first to introduce new technologies into their products. A large selection of models with various functions allows each girl to choose exactly what suits her only.

Remington irons have several advantages:

• modern design;
• additional functions (micro-air conditioner, thermoprotective sensor), in some models various nozzles for styling hair are supplied;
• rapid heating of the plates;
• safety of use.

Remington irons have a wide range. Before purchasing, it is important to determine the set of functions and product size. All models are convenient and safe to use. Specifically, to facilitate hair styling, the developers equipped the products with power indicators, a function for storing temperature, and a rotating cord. There are models with rounded edges that are suitable for those who can not decide - straight or curly.

All irons can be divided into 2 varieties: ceramic and tourmaline coated.

Ceramics have a smooth surface, due to uniform heating of the plate, the hair is protected from overheating of individual sections. Since hair particles, styling products stick to ceramics, the plates need to be cleaned regularly. This coating belongs to the economy class, and the service life of ceramic coated products is usually short-lived, about 3 years.

Consider several ceramic coated models.

• S6300 - A rectifier with microconditioner, which is designed for colored curls. Its composition prevents dull colors and fading in the sun. The plates in this model are elongated, floating. There are several temperature conditions that suit different types of hair.

• S7300 - This model is designed to straighten wet hair, it combines a double effect: drying and straightening. The iron has a special structure with holes through which excess moisture is removed along the entire length of the hair. The plates are elongated, floating, warm up quickly.

• S8700 - The iron is designed to reduce hair damage. This model allows you to get a professional result and preserve the beauty and health of hair due to the unique technology of moisturizing hair during styling - HydraCare. This technology moisturizes the hair with cold steam before the straightening procedure. There are 5 temperature modes, but the optimum temperature mode with a guaranteed result is 170 ° C.

• Shine Therapy S8500 - A popular ironing among the fair sex and professionals. It has a ceramic coating with floating plates, which are saturated with a mixture of oils to protect and shine the hair. There are 9 temperature modes. The model is available in two colors - white and turquoise.

• S5505 - A model with a compact body, making it convenient to take on trips. Improved ceramic plates have a very smooth surface, easily glide on curls.

• S8598 - The iron belongs to the professional, has keratin-ceramic plates, a built-in sensor for measuring hair moisture and automatic temperature control.

When heated, the tourmaline coating releases negative ions, which reduces the electrification of the hair. Tourmaline-coated plates are considered more durable and convenient, since in the process of use small hair and the remnants of hair products do not stick to them. Just like ceramics, tourmaline warms up evenly and protects hair from temperature changes.

The company produces a number of models with such a coating.

• S1510 - A simple and functional model at an affordable price. The plates are covered with several materials: ceramics, tourmaline and teflon, each of which performs a specific function. Tourmaline ionizes the hair, Teflon allows the plates to quickly and gently glide over curls, and ceramics ensure uniform heating of the hair. The plates heat up quickly, there is protection against overheating.

• S3700 Ceramic Glide - has 4 levels of hair protection, a ceramic plate with tourmaline spraying does not destroy hair and does not allow them to become electrified.

• The Curl & Straight S6606 - a styler that works in three directions: curls, soft waves and straight hair due to the shape of the plates and the round body. Ceramic plates have tourmaline spraying, which facilitates sliding and reduces electrification. There are 5 temperature modes, the Turbo Boost function (instant heating to 2300 ° C), the function of remembering the last temperature, auto shut off.

• Ceramic Straight 230 S3500 - A common model with tourmaline spraying, provides smooth hair and protection from high temperatures.

The convenience of using a hair straightener is an important factor. Most Remington models have a weight of not more than 400 g, a thin and lightweight body that will not let your hands get tired during styling. Before buying an iron, try holding it in your hands - the power and adjustment buttons should be conveniently located, but without the possibility of accidental pressing (if the model does not have an auto-lock function).

And also you need to consider the length of the cord, which should be such that it would be convenient for you to do a hairstyle near the mirror. Pay attention to the mount - it must be strong and rigid, freely rotate and not twist the cable.

For ease of use and user safety, the manufacturer can optionally equip the model with a furniture stand and a heat-resistant cover.

And a few more tips from professionals.

To straighten your hair with a Remington iron, you need to perform a number of simple steps.

• Comb your hair, divide it into 2 parts. Gather the upper part of the strands so that they do not interfere.
• Begin to straighten curls from roots to tips starting from the back of the head.
• The thickness of the curls should be about 0.5 cm - this will make the straightening process more thorough. Each strand needs to be combed well, while it is recommended not to process one more than two times.
• After the entire lower part of the hair is straightened, stab it. Dissolve the upper bunch, repeat the straightening process, separating small strands starting from the temples. Straightened curls can be stabbed so that they do not interfere.

With the help of an iron, you can curl your hair.

Consider how to do this.

• Divide the hair into 2 parts, pin the top into a bun. The curling process needs to start from the back of the head to the face.
• The larger locks you separate, the thicker your curls will be.
• It’s good to comb the lock, fix the iron at the desired height (near the chin or slightly higher / lower).The height of the twisted curl will depend on the height.
• Turn the iron over a couple of times - and the lock will curl around, slowly swipe to the ends. The direction of the twist at your discretion.
• Natural curls can be obtained by alternating directions “from face” and “to face”. The Hollywood style is performed only on behalf of the technique.
• Perform action with each lock, including the top bunch.

It is very important to properly prepare the hair for the styling process:

• rinse hair well, removing them from funds from the last styling;
• dry thoroughly (if you are not using a model with a hair dryer function) - styling will not last long due to wet hair;
• apply a thermal protective agent to the hair (it is recommended to apply it immediately to all hair, and not to individual strands).
