My first styler was a Vidal Sassoon (as it was known back then) 2-in-1 straightener and crimper. Not gonna lie. Never used the straightening plates. Why would anyone opt for straight over crimped?! I remember it being heavy and cumbersome to use. Not as heavy or cumbersome as some of these vintage stylers mind.
Imagine being that lady sitting under that magnificent looking hair dryer back in 1928. You'd have thought your salon was on the cutting edge {puntastic. #sorrynotsorry} of technology.
Or how about this hair raising {Not gonna stop. Puns are life} curler from 1922. I mean could there be a more glam way to get the twenties waves?!
Iron be damned {a stretch to be fair} it's an actual iron. 'Fess up, we bet some of you have done this!!
Alright, so that three-step through the history of hair tools is a bit grim. I mean can you imagine the damage our ladies of yesteryear put their hair through? And the size of them! Even the iron - you'd hardly want to throw it in your overnight bag for on-the-go styling would you?!
Thankfully, times have changed. Tools are smaller. Safer. Kinder to your hair. And just when you think we've reached the epitome of hair tech sophistication, some clever sausage comes along with something even better.
Like those super smart folk at VS Sassoon. Their latest Digital Sensor range, consists of a trio of hair styling tools that boast some pretty impressive tech. These products don't just work at an 'optimum' temperature - they actually adapt and react to the hair they're styling. The Digital Sensor range does things like; maintaining a uniform & consistent airflow, eliminating hot spots that cause damage to the hair fibre and monitoring moisture in the hair, to ensure optimal, consistent & even styling for healthy, protected hair.
THE DIGITAL SENSOR HOT AIR STYLER
From slicked-back to salon blow-outs, this styler does it all with easy one-handed styling. With heat protection technology, the rotating brush provides engineered-to-perfection airflow. Dry, style & add volume to any hair type, as frizz is tamed & hair health is boosted.
THE DIGITAL SENSOR HAIRDRYER
The super smart Italian engineered & crafted hairdryer that actively protects against hair damage. Taking the guess work out of temperature, the optimised hair safe 70°C airflow is designed to fight frizz & protect against colour fade. For the fastest dry on all hair types, without heat damage.
THE DIGITAL SENSOR STRAIGHTENER
The Digital Sensor with Heat Protect Sensor Mode monitors & adjusts the plate temperature according to the characteristics of the hair, like moisture, to ensure optimal, consistent & even styling for healthy, protected hair.

I have used their products but not for, God, maybe 12 years and hopefully they've improved since then! I'd love to try the hair drier or the brush. I own other brands versions of those and works be interested to see how VS Sassoon compares. I'm just getting into the styling brushes now I've cut a bit of length off my hair and got a fringe.
