Steaming Hair Straighteners

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Steam Straight' Brush Strengthens Hair While it Straightens

— August 10, 2016 — Fashion
Flat ceramic plates can be effective for straightening hair, but applying direct, dry heat to hair can cause damage over time -- a problem that the Steam Straight brush is looking to solve. Rather than drying out hair as it straightens, the Steam Straight brush contributes to a proper moisture balance by using steam, straightening hair while keeping it strong and healthy.

The Steam Straight from Head Kandy looks like a flat iron at first glance, however it replaces the ceramic panel with a brush to allow the steam to hit the consumers hair from 360 degrees. To use it, consumers simply fill the straightener's small water tank and carry on as with any other straightener. The water tank will provide enough steam for a continuous 15 minutes of operation.

As consumers' overall physical health becomes a more important part of their beauty regimens, the Steam Straight brush can solve hair health dilemmas.
Trend Themes
1. Steam Technology - Using steam for hair straightening improves moisture balance and prevents damage.
2. Multipurpose Hair Tools - Combining the functions of a brush and a straightener offers convenience and versatility in hair styling.
3. Holistic Beauty - Consumers seeking products that prioritize overall physical health are driving the demand for hair tools like the Steam Straight brush.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty & Personal Care - The beauty industry can embrace steam technology to create innovative hair tools and improve the health-consciousness of their products.
2. Appliances - The appliance industry can explore the market for multipurpose hair tools that combine features like brushes and steam straighteners.
3. Wellness - The wellness industry can tap into the holistic beauty trend by promoting hair tools that contribute to overall physical health and hair strength.
