“Revive Mode™ is our signature feature – exclusive to CLOUD NINE straighteners. Once you switch on Revive Mode™ and embrace healthy heat styling, you’ll never look back.”

WHAT IS REVIVE MODE™ AND HOW DOES IT WORK? 

When Revive Mode™ is switched on, it activates our proprietary Axial Vibration™ technology which vibrates the plates on your CLOUD NINE straightener at 8,000 times per minute. This minimises friction, drag, and exposure to direct heat while the plates glide through your hair – delivering maximum shine and protection.

3 BENEFITS OF REVIVE MODE™ 

These are the key benefits of Revive Mode™ which make it a game-changer in hair health.

1. All glide, no pull

Revive Mode™ is powered by Axial Vibration™ technology which, once activated, vibrates the plates of your CLOUD NINE straightener at 8,000 times per minute. This ensures your hair is fed smoothly between the plates, minimising friction and pull. Paired with our mineral-infused Spring-Flex™ plates, Revive Mode™ prevents the plates from clamping down while you style – handling your hair gently and achieving a glossy, smooth finish.

2. Even heat distribution 

When you activate Revive Mode™, the vibrating plates move up and down to distribute heat evenly across your hair. This prevents hot spots, unlike regular straighteners with static plates that can clasp your hair unevenly and cause inconsistent heating. With Revive Mode™, you won’t need to go over the same sections of your hair multiple times to achieve a consistent style. Plus, the gentle vibration cushions the impact of direct heat, helping to break the cycle of damage and putting you on the path to healthier hair.

3. Long-term hair health 

While excessive heat styling can help you achieve your desired look in the short term, it eventually leads to dryness, dullness, and damage as your strands crave moisture. Revive Mode™ changes everything when combined with Variable Temperature Control. This allows you to use the temperature that suits your hair’s type, condition, and the look you’re going for – ultimately protecting your hair’s health while you style. It also helps to preserve your hair’s colour long-term. With Revive Mode™, you can keep achieving versatile, glossy styles while protecting your hair.

HOW DO YOU SWITCH ON REVIVE MODE™?  

To activate Revive Mode™:

  1. Make sure your straighteners are switched on by long-pressing the ON/OFF button. You’ll find it opposite the digital display, below the plates.
  2. Short-press the ON/OFF button to turn on Revive Mode™.
  3. When Revive Mode™ is activated, the LED lights on the outer casing will come on. The plates on your straightener will vibrate every time you press them together.
  4. Adjust the temperature control to your ideal heat setting. If you’re not sure what this is, use our Temperature Calculator. Most of our straighteners allow you to select between 100°C and 200°C – Revive Mode™ can be used across all temperatures.
  5. After styling, deactivate Revive Mode™ by short-pressing the ON/OFF button again.
  6. Long-press the ON/OFF button to turn off your straighteners.
