As NZ's biggest beauty guide, we at Beauty Review are working hard to banish bad beauty buys. We have over 45,000 members who are Kiwi shoppers just like you and me, who write reviews on beauty products they’ve bought and used - some they love, some they hate and some they just feel all a bit ‘meh’ about.
And here’s the thing about Beauty Review - because it’s the New Zealand public that writes the reviews, and not the editors, you know you can trust what you’re reading; because who better to tell it like it is than someone not being paid to write about a product?!
So when the team at VS Sassoon wanted NZ women to trial their latest Steam Straightener they came to us. A random panel of twenty Kiwis were invited to review the VS Sassoon Steam Straight Brilliance and to provide their honest feedback. They were not paid, ALL reviews were published unedited and all reviewers took their own, unedited, before and after photos.
Did they get the salon look at home? Is Steam Technology really all that? Will VS Sassoon be in hot demand this Christmas? Let’s find out!
What the VS Sassoon Steam Straight Brilliance Claims.
The new-to-market steam straightener from global hair care brand, VS Sassoon uses innovative technology that not only promises to give you straighter hair for longer, but to also transform hair texture, shine and finish.
With 5 heat settings up to 220°C and integrated sensors to prevent excessive heat, these straighteners are suitable for all hair types, from fine to super coily.
"I feel like it’s steaming hair into place with a better heat - more like how a blow-out works, rather than baking the hair into place like my old straighteners.. I also don't get that burning hot smell and feel like the hair is too hot. So I think this is also why the look achieved is also more a glossy, soft, straight look than a clumpy, dry, straight look.. this achieves a very glossy mane." - helibabi.

What's so great about steam?
Steam technology acts as a conditioning mist, infusing hair with moisture and transforming it into soft and shiny hair that feels like satin to touch. Steam Straightening also claims to extend the length of time your hair will stay straight, meaning you'll get to enjoy that poker straight hair for longer!
"The plates themselves glide really nicely without drag. My hair did look shinier after use and my hair absolutely lasted a full day straight." - alyshajayne
Rating: 4.3/5
Ok, but does it reallllllly do what it says it will?
Well...according to our Trial Team the answer is an unequivocal YES! The Steam Straight Brilliance is rated 4.8/5, rocketing it up the list to one of the best hair care tools available. It even has a shiny Top Rated badge to prove it!
"The most impressive thing to me, in the end, was that (probably thanks to the steam) my ends, which can often get quite frizzy or look split at the end of straightening, looked smooth and healthy and I didn't feel the need to have to curl or smooth them with serums!" - tarync.

Where can I find one?
The VS Sassoon Steam Straight Brilliance is wowing Kiwis and with results like these we can see why - with an overall rating of 4.8/5 it truly has ranked among the best of the best!
You'll be able to find one for yourself at Farmers, Noel Leeming and Harvey Norman.
Less than 10% of products on Beauty Review have earned the Top Rated badge and it’s safe to say that the Steam Straight Brilliance has not only passed the test...it has really impressed reviewers with its innovative technology and impressive results. It looks like we’ve finally found a straightener that can do it all; all the while being kind and hydrating to hair thanks to Steam Technology!

I've been straightening my hair every time I wash it for 17 years because if I don't, it dries all frizzy. I have always bought VS straighteners because they are a good product that lasts for years and they arer reasonably priced. I haven't ever tried a steam straightener but I think they would be great for stopping my hair from drying out so much. Would love to get one of these for Christmas.
