Put via rigorous testing—together with for sturdiness—the new-and-improved dryer options three warmth settings, three fan velocity settings, 4 pro-styling modes that supply preset warmth and air controls primarily based on hair sort, two styling attachments (a concentrator nozzle and a diffuser), and a helpful app that allows you to customise your settings out of your cellphone.
Concerning the expertise
It has additionally been tweaked to work on all hair varieties. “We did an infinite quantity of testing as a result of firstly [the dryer] solely labored on sure hair varieties,” explains Guive Balooch, international managing director of augmented magnificence and open innovation at L’Oréal Professionnel. “We began in our inside L’Oréal Professional salon, then we examined it externally with our salon companions, after which we performed at-home use checks the place individuals tried it with out us going to their properties and displaying them how one can use it. By way of all three testing rounds we needed to make modifications and [getting it right] was quite a bit more durable than we thought. That is why it took 18 months even after the expertise was prepared.”
So how on earth is gentle going to dry your hair? The scientists and engineers who developed the AirLight Professional discovered their inspiration in nature. “When it rains, the subsequent day, if it’s sunny and there is wind, the rain dries a lot quicker than if it’s cloudy. So the Zuvi crew requested themselves, How can we apply this pure phenomenon to moisture within the hair?” explains Balooch. “The scientists, who’ve a background within the physics of sunshine, knew that in nature a particular wavelength of infrared gentle is what dries the rain, so the problem was to make that gentle highly effective sufficient to dry the hair.”
The answer was to mix a circle of infrared gentle, which is positioned on the entrance of the hair dryer, with a standard motor and coils within the heart. The motor pushes the recent air via the middle of the ring of infrared gentle, permitting the sunshine to additionally warmth the air because it’s transferring towards your hair. This, in flip, makes the AirLight Professional extra environment friendly. “With conventional convection heating, the coils warmth as much as round 200 levels, which is then blasted out of the nozzle by the motor. By the point the air reaches your hair, nevertheless, it’s about 100 levels, which implies 50% of the warmth is wasted and launched into the surroundings,” says Balooch. “With the AirLight Professional, the infrared gentle is heating the air because it’s flowing towards your hair. This implies the dryer temperature can begin at 150 levels as a result of much less warmth is dissipating into the air, which, in flip, saves you round 20% on electrical energy [compared to traditional hair dryers].”
