2nd purchase of same product.
This was bought for my daughter as a Xmas present at her request. She had previously bought one many years ago and has used it heaps. I’m not sure if the older one broke or just wore out but she has her new one now. I guess if she wanted the same product many years later it must be a good hair straightener.

VS Sassoon hair straightener
This VS Sassoon hair straightener works very well and I'm happy with it. It quickly heats up, is lightweight and has controls for the amount of heat needed for your hair type. It is a well known brand with other features as well and it is worth checking out. I am happy to recommend this item for smooth hair.

High tech for a low price.
Simple to turn on and use. Touch controls and automatic locking make it easy to set the correct temperature and maintain it while using it.

Great Flat Iron
Actually purchased for the wife. She has said this one straightens her hair better with smoother feeling blades, heats up quickly which is convenient and she finds it easy to handle and is balanced well.

Efficient low cost straightener
This is an excellent selection for those looking for a reasonably priced straightener. With 5 heat settings and a boost setting, it is likely that this product will have the right setting for your hair.

At a glance
The VS Sassoon Nourishing Smooth Straightener is a mid-range hair straightener made for users who want smoother, less frizzy results with simple heat control. It suits everyday styling, especially for medium to long hair, thanks to its 110 mm plates and fast 15 second heat-up. Its main limitation is that it offers straightforward straightening performance rather than the broader styling flexibility of premium multi-stylers.
What it’s great for
- Everyday straightening
- Frizz reduction
- Smooth sleek styling
- Quick morning styling
- Medium to long hair styling
Where it works best
- Home bathroom
- Daily grooming routine
- Shared household styling setup
- Guest-ready morning routines
Who it’s for
- Everyday user
- Frizz-prone hair user
- Medium to long hair user
- Budget-conscious beauty shopper
- At-home styler
Things to consider
It is best suited to smooth straightening rather than advanced curling or premium salon-style customisation, so specialist or high-end stylers may offer more versatility.
Styling versatility score
6/10 - Strong for straightening and soft shaping, but not as versatile as dedicated curlers or premium multi-stylers.
Hair type suitability
Best for normal, frizz-prone, medium to long hair; suitable for users who want smooth straight results with adjustable heat.
Travel friendliness
7/10 - Easy to store thanks to the hinge lock and practical size, though it is primarily designed as a home styling tool.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - Fast heat-up, clear LCD temperature settings and extra-long plates make daily styling straightforward.
Salon results suitability
7/10 - Delivers smooth, polished everyday results, but premium salon tools may offer more advanced heat control and styling precision.
Key benefits
- Ionic Conditioning Technology: Helps reduce frizz and leaves hair looking smoother and shinier.
- Keratin Ceramic Plates: Glide through hair more smoothly while helping maintain a sleek finish.
- 15 Second Heat Up: Reaches styling temperature quickly so you can start styling with less waiting.
- 5 LCD Temperature Settings: Lets you choose from 130°C to 210°C to better match your hair type and styling needs.
- 110 mm Extra-Long Plates: Covers larger sections in one pass for faster styling on longer or thicker hair.
- Automatic Shut-Off After 60 Minutes: Adds peace of mind if you forget to switch it off.
- Swivel Cord: Makes styling more comfortable by helping reduce cord tangling while you move.
- Hinge Lock: Helps protect the plates and makes storage neater and more secure.
Q: Is this straightener suitable for fine, coloured or heat-treated hair?
A: Yes. The 130C setting gives a lower-heat starting point for fine, coloured or heat-treated hair, while the straightener still reaches 210C for thicker sections. Start low and only step up if needed, because this model does not use automatic heat sensing.
Q: Can the curved housing be used to create waves or loose bends?
A: Yes. The curved housing and floating plates let the VS Sassoon VSS224A do more than straight styles, so it can shape loose waves or bends as well. It is still a straightener first, so it is better for softer shapes than tight, defined curls.
Q: Do the 110mm plates make a real difference on long hair?
A: Yes. The 110mm plates cover more hair in each pass, which can make styling quicker on long hair or larger sections. If your hair is very short or you mainly style a fringe, a narrower plate can be easier to place accurately.
Q: Will it switch itself off if you forget to unplug it?
A: Yes. The VS Sassoon VSS224A switches off automatically after 60 minutes, which reduces the chance of it being left heating on a bench. It is still best to turn it off after styling and let it cool before storing or packing it away.
Q: Is the VS Sassoon VSS224A dual voltage for overseas travel?
A: No. VS Sassoon VSS224A is better suited to travel within Australia because it does not list dual voltage support for overseas use. If you travel internationally often, choose a model that explicitly states dual voltage compatibility.
Q: Does the hinge lock matter if you store it in a drawer?
A: Yes. The hinge lock keeps the floating plates closed, so the straightener is easier to store neatly and less exposed in a drawer or bag. It does not replace cooling time, so lock it only after the plates have cooled down.
