The Consumer Electronics Show has always been the premier event for seeing the latest technology, and this often includes tech that was developed for commercial, industrial, and even military purpose, then converted to suit consumer needs. So it comes as no surprise to see "infrared ray" technology being used for the most important need of hair drying! Kinyo will be introducing an FIR (Far Infrared Ray) hair dryer for later in 2007 (pricing to be announced).

Available in three models, these are designed with Quartz Glass Heating Element to promote healthier hair. The new models from Kinyo use about 30% less energy than conventional dryers since they ditch inefficient nickel-chrome wires. More importantly, they'll dry hair faster (preventing direct heating, which can damage hair), help reduce frizziness and static electricity to leave hair smooth and manageable, and even improve blood circulation in the hair scalp. No wonder everyone in the future has such well kept hair! — Peter Suciu
