Vidal Sassoon HydraGloss Straighteners Review




If asked what I like about myself, my hair is near the top of the list, while I have reviewed some lotions and potions for hair, I do love a good hair styler and I was pleased to be asked to review one of the new Vidal Sassoon range.

I had great fun not so long ago with the Enrapture Totem Styler see here and the Enrapture Amplify Jumbo Waver here. These were fabulous and still are for beach babe curls and ringlets. For an everyday hair look I like to use straighteners, despite me having straight hair, I find I get a lovely finish.
So I chose the Vidal Sassoon HydraGloss Straighteners, known for creating a good look,

Straighteners are sometimes known for damaging hair if overused and what attracted me to the HydraGloss, was the built in  IONIC generator to promote hair health whist styling, leaving super straight glossy results.
The IONIC port creates negative ions that lock in natural moisture leaving soft, glossy, manageable hair.
The straighteners are a stylish purple and white, light to hold and easy to manoeuvre as the cord has a swivel element.
The cord is 1.8 metres, not as long as I would like, but at home, where I style my hair, the socket is close to the mirror.
I am totally amazed at the fast heat up, my GHD's are not this fast.


There are nine different heat settings this is great for my hair, which is quite fine. I went straight to the ION setting and will happily use it at that.


I think the protective quality and the low temperature settings are the features that beat other straighteners. I was advised by my hairdresser to keep at 150C or below to not damage my hair so for my frequent use its perfect.


You get a shot of the side of my hair here, not bad for me having to take the picture blindly! I was pleased with the finish, the ceramic plates glide down the lengths easily and it was quick to achieve my look.

In addition, for peace of mind, the straightener has a 60 minute auto shut off feature.
RRP £24.99

The styler includes two barrels with flexible ball tipped bristles to smooth and style without tangling.
