CES 2024: L’Oréal announces new infrared hair-dryer with the AirLight Pro

L’Oréal together with hardware startup Zuvi has introduced the AirLight Pro at CES 2024 — a groundbreaking hair drying tool. This innovative product not only clinched the CES 2024 Innovation Award but also promises a new era in haircare technology.

AirLight Pro sets itself apart through its utilization of infrared light as the heat source. This approach enables gentle hair drying without extreme heat, potentially safeguarding hair health by minimizing heat damage. The drying technique emphasizes preserving internal moisture while efficiently addressing surface water, contributing to smoother and more hydrated hair.

Priced at an estimated under US$ 400, AirLight Pro positions itself as an affordable alternative to the Dyson Supersonic, which starts at $430. This strategic pricing probably aims to make AirLight Pro accessible to a broader consumer base. The anticipated launch in 2024, initially in the United States and Europe through L’Oréal Professionnel, ensures that beauty enthusiasts worldwide can soon experience this revolutionary hair-drying tool.

Designed with a focus on long-term hair health, AirLight Pro aims to minimize frizz and breakage. Its cutting-edge industrial design, crafted by a collaboration of over 100 experts, includes a special 17-blade, high-speed motor and patented infrared technology. This combination ensures fast drying without excessive heat, leaving hair with a radiant shine.

Notably, AirLight Pro proudly boasts a sustainable edge, with 31% less energy consumption compared to traditional dryers. This aligns with L’Oréal’s broader commitment to environmental responsibility, making it an appealing choice for consumers who prioritize sustainability.

AirLight Pro places a strong emphasis on long-term hair health and hydration, seeking to minimize frizz and breakage. In contrast, the Dyson Supersonic prioritizes speed, styling versatility, and an overall premium experience.

Either way, the AirLight Pro emerges as an exciting addition to the realm of hair-drying tools and the expansion of beauty tech in general.

Upgrade your workstation with the Huawei MateStation S

04/08/2021

Work-at-home professionals have all but exploded in numbers these past 12 months, and now there’s a whole mood of people converting their bedrooms and kitchen nooks into makeshift offices. Dalgona coffee is the go-to brew, and personal jazz playlists substitute for the coffee shop/del ambiance. What’s also become crucial centerpieces for any at-home workspace is, well, a capable work machine.

Look no further than the Huawei MateStation S, because frankly, it barely resembles any other traditional desktop PC on the market right now. That’s not just in reference to its striking looks, but also its remarkable performance and bevy of innovative features.

Superb modern design

One look is all it takes to fall for the MateStation S – especially for the minimalists out there. This PC tower sets itself apart with an intriguing Star Trail-inspired fascia, which cleverly disguises its front-facing heat vents.

Also, the tall and slim metallic profile of the tower fits in just about any interior aesthetic; it even blends well with both artisanal decor and corporate ornaments, AKA file folder racks.

Innovating on connections

Another brilliant stroke of genius with the MateStation’s is its ability to simplify multitasking situations. The built-in Huawei Share and Multi-Device Collaboration features let users share data between the PC, smartphone, tablet, or laptop wirelessly and with next to no fuss. Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC connectivity means transferring files is always a few taps away. The same goes for accessing and using phone apps directly on the MateStation for streamlined productivity.

Exceeding performance expectations

If the MateStation S was only about the looks, it wouldn’t be a Huawei device. The brand’s first desktop PC can easily blast through demanding creative tasks like photo/video editing, leisure activities like online gaming, and of course, all the basic office endeavors of spreadsheet crunching and word processing. This is all courtesy of the 7nm AMD Ryzen 5 4600G chip inside, coupled with DDR4-3200 dual-channel RAM and PCIe NVMe SSD storage that’s blazing fast all the time.

One-touch security

Passwords are still a secure means of protecting sensitive data on any PC, but the MateStation S takes it a step further with Fingerprint Login support (available with optional Huawei Ultra-Slim Wired Keyboard). Such an incredibly handy feature, especially when trying to maintain that creative train of thought during coffee refills – and no forgotten password to interrupt all of it!

All-around smart experiences with Huawei AI Life

Owners of Huawei smartphones, laptops, tablets, or wearables will find that the MateStation S syncs perfectly with their existing devices. This is Huawei’s device ecosystem at work, seamlessly tied together by the AI Life strategy which aims to deliver a continuous and consistent smart experience no matter which gadget is at hand. It’s all about having those devices work for any lifestyle, at any given moment.
