REMINGTON Keratin Therapy Pro Straightener

Hello, so the other day my sister was straightening my hair and our straightener broke. It's an old one we had since forever! We had to buy a new one and the one who caught our eye was the Remington, Keratin Therapy Pro Straightener. We were interested in that one because it said Keratin Therapy and we like keratin for our hair so we bought it. It was € 60 (£ 51 / $ 66), a good price.


 In the box it has a heat resistant mat & pouch which you can put the straightener in. You can heat the straightener up to 230°C (446°F) and the lowest is 160°C (320°F). The heat settings makes light when you turn it on, so you can see it. It takes about a minute to heat up (to 230°C). 


A cool thing about this straightener is that it has an exclusive heat protection sensor, so when you push on the button to activate that it will always stay at the heat that you selected and never go over. It cools itself down so you won't break your hair to much. On the picture below you can see the sensor. It's the black line in the middle. There is only one on this side the other side is just pink.


Now let's talk about the ceramic plates on the straightener. The plates actually give off a bit of keratin, but don't worry! It won't make your hair greasy or anything. Keratin is a protein and it's already in your hair, it's what makes your hair stronger and when you have less keratin in your hair, you're hair will probably be weaker. Now bc there is keratin that will go on/in your hair, it will make your hair stronger and shinier. 

           
                         


 Here you can see the buttons, the brown arrow shows you the one to just turn it on, the white one shows you a '+ / -' button to turn the heat up or down and the grey arrow show you the button to turn on the heat protection sensor. On the picture next to it you can see a little lock, so when you want to put it in the bag you push the straightener close and put the lock up and voila, ready to put away. 

Now let's see a before and after picture of my hair. (No edit at all on the pictures)








As you can see it does a good job! I'm mixed so I have a bit of European hair with African hair. I didn't add anything in my hair so the shine is there thanks to the keratin. I dyed my hair a lot the past weeks, so it broke a lot! This did really help feed my hair and get it back to what it was before. Some coconut oil helps as well but I don't put that in my hair a lot anymore bc I have this straightener now. This straightener is up to 57% more protection vs a standard ceramic remington straightener. 

Now I do have one complain about this straightener, yes I do have a dislike about it, it's that when you're doing you hair it pulls out some hairs. Yes, so between the heat protection sensor and the ceramic plates next to it, that's where some hairs get stuck. That kind of sucks, but for the rest I don't have any complains. Everyone who needs a new straightener! This might be the one for you.

Love always,
