A decent hair dryer can be a significant investment, so we scrupulously tested our entrants, and Zuvi’s incredibly innovative Halo Hair Dryer is a very worthy winner. Unlike other hair dryers that use significant heat to dry the hair (which draws out moisture from the middle of the hair shaft), Zuvi’s technology only dries moisture on the outside of the strand, keeping its integrity at optimum health.
“The hair dryer is efficient and leaves the hair looking visibly shinier,” says Charlotte Mensah, award-winning hairstylist and owner and artistic director of Hair Lounge. However, it takes longer to dry thicker and afro-textured hair.”
Who What Wear UK copy editor Georgia Seago notes that whilst it’s certainly an investment purchase, it’s worth it if you spend a lot of time and money on your hair routine already. “I love it because it’s quiet, compact, lightweight and quick, but I do have long hair which I get coloured and put a lot of heat on (I regularly use a hair dryer, straighteners, blowdry brush and a curling iron), and I only use salon-grade haircare products, so it makes sense for someone like me,” she says. “This hair dryer definitely uses a cooler temperature and is kinder to my hair than others I’ve tried, so I can see why it would be a great option for sensitive scalps and compromised or thinning hair. I have a lot of hair, but this makes light work of drying it, leaving it super-soft and smooth with noticeably less frizz.”
