Paul Mitchell Smooth+ Ceramic Flat Iron 1.25" Taupe — CeraShine Plates, Adjustable Heat to 410°F

The Paul Mitchell Smooth+ Ceramic Flat Iron is a professional-grade 1.25" styling iron with CeraShine ceramic plates and adjustable heat up to 410°F for fast, glossy smoothing and versatile styling.

Paul Mitchell’s Smooth+ Ceramic Flat Iron is the brand’s top-selling straightener built to create polished, frizz-reduced styles quickly. Its curved-edge ceramic plates glide through hair to reduce snags while high-performance heating elements maintain even temperature for consistent results. This Taupe 1.25" model blends salon performance with a limited-edition finish that coordinates with Paul Mitchell’s refreshed look.

How does this flat iron protect hair while styling?

The Smooth+ uses a CeraShine ceramic plate formula and premium heaters to distribute heat uniformly, which helps avoid hot spots that can cause localized damage. The smoother plate surface and controlled temperatures allow you to style with fewer passes, reducing repeated heat exposure.

• Even heat from premium heaters prevents temperature spikes
• CeraShine ceramic blend reduces friction for gentler gliding
• Up to 410°F control — set the right heat for your hair type

Can it do more than just straighten hair?

Yes. The Smooth+ has beveled plate edges and a rounded profile that make it simple to create soft waves, curls, or polished straight looks. The plate shape and smooth finish let you pivot the iron for different techniques without catching or pulling the hair.

• Beveled edges for curling, waving, and flipping
• 1.25" plate ideal for medium-length sections and versatile styling
• Consistent heat helps set shapes faster and with longer hold

What size and temperature should I choose for my hair?

The 1.25" plate size is a versatile option that works well for most hair lengths and textures, offering a balance between coverage and control. Use lower temperatures for fine or chemically treated hair, and higher settings for coarse or curly textures — the digital display makes precise adjustments quick and simple.

• Fine or fragile: start low and increase only as needed
• Medium/normal: mid-range settings for efficient straightening
• Thick/coarse/curly: higher settings for faster smoothing and longer-lasting results

What makes the Taupe Smooth+ model different from other sizes?

The Taupe Smooth+ is a limited-edition 1.25" plate option that matches Paul Mitchell’s updated color palette for a coordinated styling kit. Compared with the brand’s XL option, this size offers greater precision for shorter or layered cuts while still covering larger sections faster than narrow irons.

• Limited-edition taupe finish for a color-coordinated routine
• 1.25" plates balance speed and control for most hair types
• Alternative XL 1.5" option available for extra-wide coverage
