Future styling, today – this is the BaBylissPRO Drying Wand, the next generation of professional drying

by AMANDA | INFORM

Handcrafting hair finishes custom to each and every head of hair is your raison d’être, with your scissors and your brush a natural extension of your hand, curating that result. Let’s take that idea even further. What if your hairdryer could also work as an extension of your arm, allowing you to get closer, to turn more easily, to work even more symbiotically with your body?

The Drying Wand is the next generation of drying from BaBylissPRO a reimagined hair tool, developed with professional stylists in mind and in collaboration with working hairdressers to ensure that the end result met their highest standards.

Allowing you to work as freely as possible, the Drying Wand features patented air technology that reduces drying and styling time. A fast, quiet and long-lasting digital motor delivers powerful, concentrated airflow thats optimised through the uniquely designed air outlet.

With modern stylists and their clients central to its genesis, the Drying Wand works with three redesigned attachments for effortless results on all hair types. The concentrator nozzle delivers even more precise airflow, while the straightening pik attachment (which securely clicks in place to stay put) lifts, stretches and smooths coily and curly hair. Take a closer look at the larger diffuser and you’ll spot super long prongs, allowing you to get closer and boost drying efficiency for textured hair while minimising frizz.

Syd Hayes – salon owner, international session stylist and a Most Wanted Legend – has been an integral part of the Drying Wand’s development. Using his knowledge and experience working in fastpaced backstage environments as well as on a busy salon floor, his feedback was key to ensuring the Drying Wand would deliver precisely what modern stylists need. The sleek, ergonomic design is imagined to become an extension of your arm, with multiple features for effortless results on different hair types and finishes,” he says. “This isn’t just a tool, it’s the future of hair styling.

“This is a revolution in hair drying and styling and will change the way we think about our tools.” Syd Hayes, BaBylissPRO ambassador

In this narrative from STIL, hair is an expression of the energy and freedom that the early ‘90s brought, drawing from the clubbing scene in New York and London. Think rave club scene merging with modern Scandi and Y2K fashion.

Unfinished Symphony by Harry Andreou

Keen to create a collection that celebrates imperfections, the hair within Harry Andreou’s story feels raw, messy, seen almost as if mid-transformation. It speaks to rough edges, ideas unresolved with each look rebelling against the need for everything to be polished for approval.
