My Hydro Smooth Hair Diary by Beauty Expert Bonnie a.k.a @ozbeautyexpert
I’ve used my fair share of hair dryers over my 2 decades as a professional hair and make-up artist and while a lot of hair dryers claim to be “the next big thing”, not many are a truly unique innovation.
I love testing out new products and putting them to the test both for personal and professional use, to see if they’ve got something unique and innovative that makes it stand out from all the other hair dryers. If the hair dryer does both those things, then it will almost always make it’s way into my professional kit or to my bathroom cupboard, and sometimes both!
The new hair dryer I’m using is an absolute game-changer and needless to say it’s being used by me at home and in my professional kit!
I need my styling to be done quickly and efficiently, so being powerful and easy to operate is a must. But this hair dryer offers SO MUCH MORE!
The Hydro Smooth Fast Dry Hair Dryer from VS Sassoon is unique because it actually keeps the hair healthy. It uses advanced plasma conditioning ions which have the ability to replenish dull dehydrated hair, enhance shine and lock in moisture. It’s a unique hair dryer that actually takes care of your hair.
I myself trialed the dryer over the course of 2 weeks to make sure I saw the full results the dryer can offer. My hair is naturally very curly and hard to manage so a weak hair dryer will not suffice, I need a powerful device that will smooth out the curls and frizz easily. Not only did the Hydro Smooth Hair Dryer get my hair blow dried quickly and easily, it left it feeling unusually soft and extra shiny. Over the course of 2 weeks, my hair just got more and more shine, and at the end of the fortnight my hair felt incredibly silky smooth.
This hair dryer contains some sort of magic that transforms colour treated, curly or hard to manage hair into smooth, silky, hydrated hair. My ends, that are so prone to feel straw-like and brittle feel super soft and smooth. It literally transformed the condition of my hair in 2 weeks.
Needless to say this one is a keeper! And the Hydro Smooth Hair Dryer comes with me to shoots and on set, and I also use it on my own hair. As a professional hair and make-up artist who regularly blow dries and styles hair, it usually takes me a lot of product to make a hair style look silky smooth and hydrated, but this hair dryer does half the job for me!
And it’s not only great at smoothing out the hair, it’s fantastic on natural curls too! When blow drying curly hair I use the diffuser that comes with it, this helps to dry the curls without losing the curl structure. Natural curly hair is naturally more dry and prone to frizz, so by using the Hydro Smooth hair dryer on curls it will keep the curl but eliminate any frizz, and make the curls look hydrated and smooth rather then thirsty and dry.
It’s a fantastic option for coloured hair and hair that’s prone to damage because with consistent use it will improve the texture, replenish moisture into the hair and make it look and feel healthier and more glossy.
Aside from the hair hydrating magic that the Hydro Smooth dryer has, it’s also a very pretty looking thing. I love the icy blue colour and it feels great in your hands. It’s easy to move and manoeuvre without getting fatigue in your hands and elbows. It has multiple heat settings and 2 speed settings you can choose from which means it’s capable of easily styling even very thick hair.
Another addition to the Hydro Smooth range is the brilliant Hydro Smooth Straight & Curl styling tool. This is a dual hot tool that can be used as your hair straightener OR with the flick of a switch a curling tong too. Two hot tools in one device is definitely an added convenience, and means some additional space in your bathroom cupboard!
Just like the Hydro Smooth Dryer the Straight & Curl Styler also uses advanced plasma conditioning ions that protect the the hair and infuse moisture into it. It can create perfect waves and curls or create a dead straight sleek look and at the same time, lock in shine and moisture. Again it’s completely unique, I’m pretty certain no other hot tool can actually improve the condition of your hair.
Whether you’re using it on curly hair, coloured hair, brittle hair or hair that could do with some improvement in shine and condition the Hydro Smooth range from VS Sassoon will give you shine and softness like you’ve never seen before.
