L'Oréal's Infrared Light Tech Redefines Hair Styling
5 Feb
Summary
- L'Oréal develops multi-stylers using infrared light technology.
- Infrared light allows lower operating temperatures for less damage.
- New technology could revolutionize the hair styling market.

L'Oréal is introducing a groundbreaking infrared light technology that could revolutionize hair styling tools. This innovation allows appliances to operate at substantially lower temperatures, as much as 80°F / 40-50°C cooler than traditional devices, thereby minimizing heat damage to hair. This advanced technology is central to L'Oréal's new AirLight Pro hair dryer and upcoming straighteners.
The company envisions extending this infrared technology to a new generation of multi-stylers. While a working prototype of a multi-styler was recently previewed, its final form factor is still under development. This new tech aims to provide superior styling results while significantly reducing hair damage, marking a potential paradigm shift in the beauty industry.
