Hair gizmos have actually come to be significantly preferred over the last years. Hair clothes dryers, curling irons, cleaners– you call it, there’s possibly a TikTokker shilling for the most recent hair gizmo that will absolutely reinvent a hair regimen. Nevertheless, I was thrilled to obtain a demonstration of L’Oréal’s Light Straight at CES 2026.
It’s an expansion of the technology that L’Oréal presented at CES 2024 with the Airlight Pro hairdryer. Essentially, the majority of traditional hair designing devices depend on warmed coils and electric motors. The Airlight Pro hairdryer presented infrared light to aid quicken drying out while lowering the general warm needed. (I have actually been doing some lasting screening of the state-of-the-art hair clothes dryer versus a typical one over the previous year, and I can validate that it is much quicker.)
The Light Straight makes use of the exact same technology, yet in a level iron type. The recommended advantage is the capacity to correct or crinkle hair with one pass, utilizing much less warm. Regular hair designing devices can surpass 400 levels Fahrenheit, yet the Light Straight will not surpass 320 levels. Completely, the business states that must convert to 3 times much faster designing and hair that’s 2 times smoother. Thinking about that designing can take for life– and bring about some crunchy hairs– conserving time while likewise lowering damages is an engaging pitch.
I really did not reach attempt it on my very own hair for sanitary factors. I did, nonetheless, reach manage the tool and see a robotic arm crinkle and correct an examination hair of hair. The level iron is fairly light-weight to hold and warms up rapidly. In the trial, I had the ability to see the robotic crinkle and afterwards correct hair with a solitary pass– yet the resulting hair had not been as well warm to the touch. It was an excellent trial, though we’ll need to see just how the tool executes on various hair kinds. L’Oréal informed me that the tool must deal with the majority of hair kinds, yet it’s not mosting likely to transform the truth that level irons are less complicated to utilize on specific hair kinds over others.
The Light Straight is slated to get here at some time in 2027, so we do not yet understand just how much it’ll set you back. Additionally down the line, L’Oréal states it’s eager to increase this infrared light technology to multi-styler devices like hairdryer/roller brush combinations.
