Remington S5500G 1" Flat Iron vs HAIRITAGE Straight to It Flat Iron

The Remington S5500G is the better pick for most shoppers. It gives you eight numbered heat settings from 310°F to 450°F, a temperature lock, and anti-static technology that owners say cuts flyaways. The Hairitage Straight to It runs hotter at 420°F but offers only four settings, so fine or thin hair has less room to dial in a safe heat. Both use ceramic plates and 1-inch widths, so glide and section size are close. The Hairitage adds tourmaline, ionic technology, dual voltage and a longer two-year warranty, which matters if you travel or have thick, coarse hair.

• Choose the Remington S5500G if you want precise heat control, a temperature lock and less static on fine to medium hair.
• Choose the Hairitage Straight to It if you travel abroad, have thick or coily hair, or want a longer warranty and a longer cord.
