'I tried Zuvi Halo, the new hair-friendly 'sunlight' dryer, and I'm stunned by it'

Remember when a hairdryer was just a bog-standard gadget that blew hot air onto soggy hair? I do. One of my abiding childhood memories involves an ancient beast of a dryer with one setting (scalp scorching) and casing hefty enough to give you concussion. Now, of course, hairdryers are shiny, tiny creatures with space-age tech.
Forget arm ache – the only strain you’re likely to experience involves your bank balance. Because unfortunately this new breed of ultra-light superdryers come with an astonishingly heavy price tag. Six years ago, I thought Dyson’s Supersonic was a brilliant, game-changing one-off.
£300+ for a dryer was a seriously niche market, right? Wrong. Prestige hair tools have skyrocketed ever since, and show no sign of coming back to earth. The latest to hit the UK is the £329 (!) Zuvi Halo, which is being called “the Tesla of haircare”.
Sadly this doesn’t mean it blow-dries your hair flawlessly all by itself – now that I would pay anything for. What your money is buying is a drying technology that’s both brand new and as old as time: sunlight. Zuvi is inspired by how sun and wind evaporate water on a warm day, taking nature’s stone-age hairdryer and bringing it into 2022.
Instead of using traditional heat coils, Zuvi dries hair with light (minus UV rays) plus a gentler, targeted airflow. Whereas regular dryers waste around 90% of their heat by blasting it into the air around you, Zuvi claims to be five times more energy efficient yet just as quick.There are also attachments for smoothing and diffusing, making it suitable for both curly and straight hair. Once it’s done, you’ll apparently be left with healthier hair, too.
