At CES® 2024, the L’Oréal Groupe unveiled a next-generation hair drying tool designed with professional stylists for both beauty professionals and consumers at home: AirLight Pro. Developed in partnership with Zuvi, a hardware startup company established by drone engineers and leading scientists, AirLight Pro uses a combination of infrared-light technology and wind to care for the hair with visually smoother and hydrated hair while also drying hair faster with optimized heat flow across multiple hair types.
Unlike conventional heating hair dryers with only heating coils, AirLight Pro is equipped with a special 17-blade, high-speed motor and patented infrared technology powered by tungsten–halogen bulbs designed for fast hair drying without excessive heat. By efficiently drying water on the hair surface, hair is left with internal moisture in the strand resulting in smooth, shiny hair.
AirLight Pro comes with a standard mode with 3 temperatures and 3 air flow settings. The pro mode includes 4 additional settings: Sleek, Curly, Coily, Custom. All modes are fully customizable in the app.

Equipped with ceramic-coated floating plates for even heat distribution, the Steampod 4 offers adjustable temperature settings ranging from 180°C to 210°C. Its 360° rotating cord and versatility to straighten, wave, or curl hair make it ideal for all hair types, turning it into a must-have tool for those looking to elevate their haircare routine.
