The Philips StraightCare Essential BHS378/00 is a versatile hair styling tool designed for both straightening and curling. Its 28 x 100 mm plates feature a ceramic coating infused with keratin, which helps protect the hair while gliding smoothly. You can choose from six temperature levels ranging from 160°C to 230°C, with an LED indicator and a dedicated temperature scale to keep track of your settings. To maintain hair health, the device uses ThermoProtect technology to distribute heat evenly and prevent overheating, while Ionic Care works to eliminate static and smooth the cuticles for a shinier finish. The black unit is lightweight at 0.4 kg and includes a 1.8 m swivel cord that prevents tangling during use. For added peace of mind, it comes equipped with overheat protection and an automatic shut-off feature.
