So quick and easy!
Overall a very efficient and reliable straightener that is priced quite affordably. Only thing is the pinch point at the bottom has caught me out a couple of times otherwise great product can’t fault it.

Fast heat up time!
I was very surprised at the heating efficiency of this product with the desired temperature ready under half a minute! Great value for money and built for everyday function and practicality in its extra wide plates and consistent distribution of heat. The only flaw I keep coming across besides the inevitable damage is the hinge at the bottom that easily pinches your palm while using. Otherwise, overall very satisfied with product

At a glance
A practical mid-range straightener designed for everyday smoothing and straightening, especially for users who want a softer finish without paying salon-tool prices. Its fast 15 second heat up, adjustable 150 to 230 °C settings and floating plates make it easy to use at home or while travelling. The main limitation is that it is better suited to straightening than creating a wide variety of advanced curl styles.
What it’s great for
- Everyday straightening
- Smoothing frizz
- Quick morning styling
- Travel styling
- Soft sleek finishes
Where it works best
- At home
- While travelling
- Shared bathrooms
- Daily grooming routines
Who it’s for
- Everyday user
- Frequent traveller
- Style-conscious professional
- Student
- Home haircare user
Things to consider
It is versatile for straightening and soft waves, but premium stylers may offer more advanced plate materials, smarter heat sensing or stronger performance for intensive salon-style styling.
Styling versatility score
7/10 - Strong for straightening and soft bends, with curved housing adding some flexibility, but not as specialised as dedicated multi-stylers.
Hair type suitability
Best for normal, wavy and mildly frizz-prone hair; adjustable heat also helps suit a range of hair textures.
Travel friendliness
8/10 - Lightweight design, storage pouch, plate lock and worldwide voltage make it convenient for travel.
Ease of use rating
9/10 - Fast heat up, digital controls, LED indicators and floating plates make everyday styling straightforward.
Salon results suitability
7/10 - Capable of smooth, sleek results for daily styling, though premium salon tools may offer more refined control and finish.
Key benefits
- 110 mm Floating Plates: The longer floating plates help cover more hair in each pass and maintain even contact for smoother straightening.
- Advanced Ceramic Coating: The ceramic coated plates promote consistent glide for a polished, sleek finish.
- Shea Oil Micro-Conditioners: Shea Oil enriched micro-conditioners are released onto the hair to support a softer feel during styling.
- 15 Second Heat Up: Reaches styling readiness in as little as 15 seconds for faster starts when getting ready.
- 150 to 230 °C Temperature Range: Adjustable heat settings make it easier to choose a suitable temperature for different hair needs.
- Digital Controls with LED Indicators: Clear controls help make temperature selection simple and precise.
- Worldwide Voltage: Dual-voltage support makes it more convenient to use on international trips.
- Automatic Shut Off After 60 Minutes: Extra peace of mind if the straightener is accidentally left on.
Q: Can this straightener curl hair as well as straighten it
A: Yes. The curved housing makes it suitable for soft bends and loose curls as well as straightening. It is not a dedicated multi-styler, so it is better for simple curves and polished ends than tight, uniform curls.
Q: Is this a good straightener for thick or curly hair
A: Yes. Remington S4740AU has a 150 to 230 degrees C range and floating ceramic plates, which suit wavy, frizz-prone and moderately thick hair. Very coarse or dense sections may still need slower passes and smaller sections for a smooth finish.
Q: Does the Remington Shea Soft Straightener have exact heat settings
A: Yes. Remington S4740AU uses digital controls with LED indicators and selectable heat from 150 to 230 degrees C, so it gives more control than a simple low or high switch. It is still aimed at everyday styling rather than salon-level customisation.
Q: Will the long plates make styling faster on longer hair
A: Yes. Remington S4740AU has 110 mm floating plates, which cover more hair in each pass and can speed up straightening on medium to long lengths. Around short sections or close to the roots, the longer plate shape can take a little more care to place neatly.
Q: Can you pack it in a bag for travel easily
A: Yes. Worldwide voltage, a plate lock and the included pouch make it practical to pack for trips. Let it cool before putting it in the pouch, as the pouch is for storage and transport, not for packing a hot straightener.
Q: Is there any hinge pinch point to be aware of
A: Yes. The hinge area can catch fingers if your hand slides too close while closing or styling. The straightener is lightweight and easy to handle, but it is worth keeping fingers clear of the lower hinge area during use.
