L’Oréal Professionnel SteamPod 4
The updated version of the professional-quality steam hair straightener, the 4.0, stands out with its ergonomic outer plates that heat to an impressive 100°C. This feature helps in creating bouncier and more defined curls. The patented steam technology not only provides faster styling but also ensures smoother hair with 95 per cent less damage. Our tester, a huge fan of previous SteamPod models, was excited to try this new release. It is easy to use and heats up quickly. She has found that this steam straightener is among the best in the market, transforming her frizz-prone curly hair into sleek, straight strands that last until the next wash. The addition of metal outer plates has further improved the curling experience, giving a subtle wave to strands or adding extra bounce to the ends.
With a price of $450, it is available at Kerastase and Best Buy.
