Shiny, Happy Hair: The Infrared Miracle You Want!

The future of hairstyling.

POSTED BY OANA CRISTINA GRIGORESCU

An intriguing fusion of technology and hair care has emerged! Infrared technology, once predominantly celebrated in saunas for its detoxifying and relaxing benefits, has made a groundbreaking leap into hairstyling tools. This innovative approach promises a gentler alternative to traditional hair styling methods, potentially revolutionizing the way we think about hair care.

The Cleveland Clinic sheds light on how infrared technology operates differently from conventional heat sources - by penetrating deeper and heating from the inside out, infrared tools can style hair at lower temperatures. This method not only reduces the potential for heat damage but also preserves the hair's natural moisture. The implication here is profound, especially for those of us concerned about the health and integrity of our hair.

Brands are already capitalizing on this tech. Silk’n, a company traditionally known for its hair removal devices, has introduced products like the SilkyStraight straightener, which utilizes infrared heat for a quicker, less damaging styling process. 

Similarly, Bondi Boost's Infrared Bounce Brush offers a convenient way to achieve salon-worthy blowouts at home, emphasizing hair health and moisture retention.

Even giants like L’Oréal are not left behind, unveiling their AirLight Pro hair dryer in collaboration with Zuvi. This product not only aims to reduce drying time and energy consumption but also to increase smoothness, employing a combination of infrared heat and high-speed airflow to mimic natural drying processes.

What stands out in these developments is the promise of healthier hair and the potential for innovation in beauty technology. As Guive Balooch from L’Oréal suggests, the combination of light and other elements in hair care devices opens exciting possibilities for the future.

Infrared technology in hair styling tools appears to be a substantial leap forward in how we approach hair care, blending the best technology with the art of hair styling. It represents a move towards more sustainable, health-conscious beauty practices that don't compromise style or effectiveness. 

This is wild! How about we pick up an infrared hair tool this weekend?
