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.

Things to consider
This model is designed mainly for straightforward smoothing and straightening, so it may not offer the same premium plate materials, wider heat customisation or specialist styling performance as higher-end salon models.
Styling versatility score
7/10 - Strong for daily straightening and smoothing, but less specialised for advanced curls or salon-style finishing.
Hair type suitability
Best suited to normal, slightly frizzy and longer hair; suitable for a range of hair types thanks to the 130°C to 210°C heat range.
Travel friendliness
Moderate - lightweight and lockable for storage, though it is primarily designed as a full-size home styling tool.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - Fast heat-up, digital controls, floating plates and a lightweight build make it straightforward for regular use.
Salon results suitability
7/10 - Delivers smooth, polished everyday results at home, but lacks some premium refinements found in salon-oriented straighteners.
Key benefits
- Five Heat Settings: Temperature options from 130°C to 210°C let you choose a more suitable level for different hair types and styling needs.
- 110 mm Floating Plates: Extra-long plates help cover longer sections of hair in one pass for easier straightening.
- Keratin Ceramic-Ionic Conditioning: Micro-infused plate technology helps support a smoother finish and visible shine.
- 15-Second Heat-Up: Fast heat-up time helps reduce waiting before styling starts.
- Digital Touch Controls: Easy-to-use controls make it simple to select and adjust temperature precisely.
- Lightweight 0.58 kg Design: Lighter handling can make everyday styling more comfortable.
- Hinge Lock: The locking design helps protect the plates and makes storage neater.
- 60-Minute Auto Shut-Off: Automatic switch-off adds peace of mind if the straightener is left on after use.
Q: Is this straightener good for long or thick hair?
A: Yes. The 110mm extra-long floating plates let you work through longer sections at a time, so this straightener suits medium to long hair well. For very thick or coarse hair, the 210 degrees C setting may still need slower passes and smaller sections.
Q: Can it curl hair as well as straighten it?
A: Yes, for loose bends and soft curls. The slim floating plates can shape hair as well as straighten it, but the VSS224A is built mainly for smooth straight styles rather than defined curls or the broader options you get from a dedicated curler.
Q: How flexible are the heat settings for different hair types?
A: The VS Sassoon VSS224A offers five heat settings from 130 degrees C to 210 degrees C, so you can start lower for fine or heat-treated hair and move up only if needed. It gives useful control for everyday styling, not ultra-fine salon tuning.
Q: Does the digital touch control make temperature selection easy?
A: Yes. The digital touch controls let you choose a set temperature directly, and the display is easier to check at a glance than a basic on-off design. If you prefer firm click buttons, touch controls can feel less tactile during quick styling.
Q: Is the VS Sassoon VSS224A easy to store after use?
A: Yes. The hinge lock keeps the plates closed for tidier storage and helps protect them between uses. The automatic shut-off after 60 minutes is a safety feature, but the straightener still needs time to cool before packing it away.
Q: Will it be comfortable to use every day?
A: Yes. At 580g, this straightener is light enough for regular use and its slim plate design is easier to guide through sections. It is designed for straightforward smoothing and straightening, not highly customised styling routines.
