The Zuvi Infrared Hair Dryer I’m Trying For My Thinning Hair
My hair seems to be in a new thinning phase, and it’s sort of freaking me out. I’ve been through this before, but it never gets easier to see all that hair in my comb and brush. Thinning hair requires special attention and gentle care to prevent further damage and fallout. I still need to style it, and blasting the heck out of it with a hot hairdryer is not a wise idea. Today, I’m sharing the Zuvi Infrared Hair Dryer I’m trying for my thinning hair.
When the Zuvi Hair Dryer people reached out, I have to admit I was skeptical because I love my current hair dryer. Then I did a deep dive and learned it’s an Allure Beauty 2022 Award winner, has won the Cosmopolitan 2022 Holy Grail Award, is an Elle 2020 Green Beauty Star, and is one of Times Best Inventions of 2022. Then I read how it helps with fragile and thinning hair and decided I needed to give it a try.
Besides thinning, my hair has lost its shine since I stopped coloring it. One of the things that makes the Zuvi Halo especially suitable for thinning hair is its ability to deliver gentle and controlled heat. It uses Infrared light instead of heat to dry your hair and negative ion technology, which is said to seal hair cuticles which helps increase shine. Okay, I need that. The negative ion technology also reduces drying time, which is gentler on the scalp and hair. I need that, too.
The infrared light technology dries the moisture on the surface of your hair without drying out the inside. That means more moisture inside your hair, leaving your scalp and hair cuticles hydrated. Ok, I need that too.
This has four settings…care, fast, soft, style, and cool.
It comes with three attachments that snap on magnetically. The diffuser is to prevent frizz, a gentle hair attachment to keep the air cooler, and a styling concentrator for styling your hair. I don’t use the diffuser, but the other two are perfect for my hair.
How to Use the Zuvi Infrared Hair Dryer
I snap on the gentle hair attachment and set the dryer to fast until my hair feels about 75% dry. It seems to take a bit longer to dry, which makes sense to me because it’s not blasting and baking it with heat like a conventional dryer.
Then, I snap on the styling concentrator and begin to use my round brush. I go in sections as I do with my regular hair dryer, giving a shot of cool to “set” each section with a bit of bend.
I’m spending a tiny bit more time on the drying and styling process, but so far, I’m delighted with how soft and shiny it’s leaving my hair. My daughter tried it with the diffuser on her thick, wavy hair and loved it!
Have you tried this new technology? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Zuvi sent me this hairdryer to try and all opinions are my own.
I am seeing lots of ads for L’ange hair dryer/round brush combo. Any thoughts?
I have no exoerience with that, but I did buy this thermal round brush last summer which I love. I use it for day two and perking up my hair if we’re going our to dinner. It really works well.
I lost quite a bit of hair while going through menopause 5 years ago. At around the same time I was diagnosed with Graves Disease which also contributed to it…ugh, double whammy. I have taken Perfect Aminos from Body Health for several years now and I truly believe it’s the reason I haven’t experienced more hair loss and have strong nails. You might want to research this company.
The problem I’m having now is extremely dry hair. I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place as it looks dry and damaged if I don’t curl it after drying. I’m wondering if this dryer would help seal the dry flyaways. I’m intrigued and considering the investment.
I haven’t heard of Perfect Aminos before. Checking it out. Thanks!
I have found a Biotin supplement helps keep my hair from falling out so much. You might try that, too.
I’m pretty sure the Nutrafol has Biotin, but I might ask about adding more.
Interesting post on hair loss and infrared dryers. I have been loving an infrared dryer and will use nothing else. We don’t have that brand where I live, but I do think infrared is better on my hair because it is gentler heat. I take 10,000 units of a biotin supplement daily for hair and nails and credit for slowing hair loss and stronger nails. My secret weapon is a product called Boldify (powder, not the liquid) which comes in a shaker vial in various hair color shades to thicken and color roots simultaneously. It provides great root lift. I apply it after my hair is dry, and then brush it to distribute it a bit. I can’t do without it and no longer worry over thinning hair! Hope this helps someone.
Thank you so much for sharing that resource, Suzanne! xo
Please look up the daily amount recommend for Biotin.
Be careful
Have a wonderful time in Victoria, Jennifer. We honeymooned there 43 years ago and have returned often. Try to visit Rodgers’ Chocolate and the Dutch Bakery and coffee shop, definitely a step back in time.
We always stay at the Royal Scot, love it.
