Remington Shine Therapy S8550 Wide Plate Hair Straightener

Wide plates for long or thick hair — argan-infused ceramic for shine

Standard straighteners are designed for shoulder-length hair. If you've got long, thick or curly hair, they take twice as long because you're doing everything in narrow sections. The Remington Shine Therapy S8550 uses 51mm wide plates — nearly double a standard model — so you cover more hair per pass and finish quicker. Argan-oil-infused ceramic plates keep the hair conditioned rather than fried. Sits in our Remington personal care range.

Why it makes a difference

The wider plates aren't just about speed — they also apply more even heat to each section, which reduces the little kinks you get where narrow plates overlap on the pass. Argan-oil coating means less snagging on the way through, so the hair takes fewer thermal knocks. Good pick for anyone with hair below shoulder-length.

FAQs

Q: Can I use it on wet hair?
A: No — hair must be fully dry before straightening. Damp hair will damage under the plates.

Q: Does it work as a curling wand too?
A: With the right technique, yes — the rounded outer plates can be used to curl by rotating the straightener as you glide.
