What is the infrared iron

Previously, infrared hair was used only in salons, and now it is also available for home use.

Operating principle

Externally, the device looks like a normal hair straightenerOnly one of its plates is infrared, and the second is ultrasound. Before applying it to a clean and dry (moisture content of not more than 20%) hair evenly applied mask, balm or cosmetic oil. Then one by one we select strands, starting from the back of the head, and we spend 5-6 times with the device on each. We wait a few minutes, rinse the hair with water, towel dry and do the hair.

Ultrasound breaks down the water and protein molecules that make up the cosmetic product so that they penetrate deep into the hair. Infrared radiation seals these substances inside.

The procedure strengthens and thickens the strands, increases their elasticity.

Application features

When working with water, the device emits steam. If the cosmetic has a denser structure, this does not occur. Depending on the settings, the ultrasound turns off every 10-18 seconds to protect the device. To turn it on, dilute and reassemble the plates.

The ultrasonic iron does not straighten hair. The effect of the procedure mainly depends on the drugs used. The main function of the device - increased exposureFor example, oil masks in combination with such treatment act in just 5-15 minutes instead of several hours.

Plates ironing does not heat up, which means there is no risk of burns and damage to hair.

It should be remembered that infrared radiation cannot be set to maximum power and used with alcohol-based products (for example, with deep-recovery ampoules). Otherwise, the hair will dry out.
