The Progloss ULTRA X SHINE has a temperature memory function that memorises the last temperature you set at previous use. If the temperature set at previous use was 210°C, then the starting temperature for next time use will be 210°C.

Ceramic-coated plates: they usually have a metal base topped with a ceramic layer, combining the best qualities of both materials. The outer layer can chip and wear away over time, but a good-quality model should last you at least three years if stored properly. Super smooth X-shine ceramic floating plates with ionic technology for superior smooth, shiny and frizz-free hair results CREATE STRAIGHT & CURLY HAIRSTYLES -The ionic technology allows the floating ceramic plates to glide smoothly through your hair, so you can style your strands with ease. You can create a range of hairstyles, with frizz-free results, in a matter of minutes. You can go beyond just straight hairstyles, as the contoured edges also help you create flawless curls and waves, with a glossy finish and long-lasting results.Working on one section at a time run the straightener through the entire length of the hair from roots to ends, without stopping. Use a comb while straightening for even straighter results.

Advanced intelligent heat control that continuously regulates the temperature for minimum hair damageThe straightener is light in weight – just 520g – but feels strong and well built in the hand, while the plates exert a consistent pressure on the hair, meaning even tightly coiled hair straightens well on the first pass of the tool. The results are glossy and long-lasting, with hair still straight at the end of a typical day. While the plates are wide and able to work through larger amounts of hair with ease, the slightly bevelled design means it’s also easy to get close to the roots for a smooth finish. A great alternative to the GHD Max, especially for curly girls.
