Tourmaline: The Secret Ingredient to a Smooth Finish for Heat-Styled Hair

Once believed to possess Singhalese magical powers, Tourmaline has since revolutionized the professional hair industry with its ability to produce glossy heat-styled strands in a minimal amount of time.

Tourmaline is an Egyptian multi-colored gemstone once thought to signify stability in love and friendship. It is used in some water filtration systems, but only recently has it been realized as a powerful cosmetic ingredient. These unique stones omit a strong negative charge, which bonds with hair’s positive charge, removing static.

The most effective hair dryers contain Tourmaline heaters, reducing drying time by 70%. These are a professional favorite because of the quick results. High-end salons and stylists use only Tourmaline dryers to achieve truly frizz-free locks. For regularly heat-styled hair, use the T3 Tourmaline Evolution Hair Dryer to get the best blow-dry at home.

Tourmaline technology is also incorporated into styling tools, such as flat irons and curling irons. As with dryers, styling time is significantly reduced due to concentration of negative ions. Because a complementary bond forms by applying tool to hair, natural oils are locked in, leaving hair softer and shinier. In addition, the plates generate FIR (Far Infrared Rays), eliminating static and frizz. Tourmaline styling tools are usually over the average consumer price range, but Cavion Pro released a dual purpose iron , providing “more bang for your buck.” One appliance creates both sleekness and waves with a smooth finish every time.

It is highly recommended for those with dry or chemically-treated hair to prep strands for protection against heat-styling. Added moisture is then locked in by using any Tourmaline appliance. Use a deep conditioner, such as the ISH Ionic Rescue One-Minute Treatment to enforce the ionic sealing process.
