Remington Shine Therapy 1" Flat Iron vs Remington S5500G 1" Flat Iron

Both are 1-inch Remington flat irons that reach 450°F and heat in about 30 seconds, so the real split is plate feel and static control. The Shine Therapy has ceramic plates infused with argan oil and keratin, nine digital settings, dual voltage and a 4.6 rating from 1,835 owners; the S5500G has floating ceramic plates with titanium protection, anti-static technology, eight settings, a temperature lock and a 60-minute auto shut-off, rated 4.4 from 4,273 owners. Buy the Shine Therapy for a glossier finish and travel; buy the S5500G for floating plates that grip thick hair and less flyaway static.

• Choose the Shine Therapy if you want a shinier, smoother finish on dry or frizz-prone hair and dual voltage for travel.
• Choose the S5500G if you have thick or coarse hair, fight static and flyaways, or want floating plates and a temperature lock.
