“CUSTOMS

First and foremost – the ability to automatically set the temperature according to the condition of each strand. Built-in sensors in the plates detect the level of humidity, condition, thickness and length of hair. The appliance analyzes the condition of each hair strand 20 times per second and automatically adjusts the styling temperature, adapting it to the condition of the hair. The user can also personalize Braun SensoCare, using manual control mode: enter into the memory of the device information about the length 3 options , thickness 4 options and hair coloring yes no . The styler stores the individual settings for up to 3 users.

“The smart display gives you feedback on the condition of your hair, and based on that tells you what you can do while styling or what can harm your hair. The screen shows the speed at which the plates are running through the hair normal speed, should it speed up or slow down and the moisture content of the hair – whether everything is okay, whether the strand is not too dry. Smiley face, smiley face or sad smiley face.

ERGONOMICS

The control

It is controlled by a joystick with five buttons. A menu asks questions and the user selects the answer by “scrolling” up and down and back and forth. Once you have selected the answer e.g. language at the beginning of the appliance , press the center OK button. Display captions are crisp, bright on a quiet navy blue background. Each time the device is turned on, it starts with the message “Use on dry hair only. And until you press OK, you’re not happy! There are 2 modes of operation. The first is automatic SensoCare, when the user enters information about the condition of their hair, then the styler itself selects the temperature of styling and changes it, adapting to the condition of each strand of hair and displays the TC for the user. You don’t have to keep entering this information every time you turn the device on it remembers up to 3 profiles for different users, so you just remember your number – 1, 2 or 3. It is possible to edit or delete the profiles. The next time the device is turned on it asks to activate the data of the last profile, the user has to confirm this or choose another profile. It’s not really clear why this is needed – after all, the straightener is a personal item like a comb , and constantly cleaning the plates after yourself is a dubious pleasure. On the other hand, this styler is not cheap – and maybe there is a reason to buy it for the family. The second mode is manual, when you just need to select the temperature of styling 120-200 ° C in increments of 10 ° C. In both modes, the “thermometer” icon blinks while heating and stops on the display when the desired temperature is reached.

Since the joystick is located where you always touch it with your fingers, the buttons are auto-locked, that is, the settings are not lost during operation. To change the mode or temperature, you need to unlock the buttons by holding down the middle button.

The tidbit

The display is not very conveniently located. To see the smileys, you need to constantly take the device away from the hair and turn it upside down a bit it is on medium hair, on the long – more convenient . In addition, the display is also partially covered with your fingers. But it’s hard to imagine where else it could be placed. It’s just that when you use a straightener with a display, you don’t look at it while you’re styling, and that’s the whole point of this. Maybe the next model will learn to talk?

The heating time test gave these results: 1 In the mode SensoCare at the parameters “dyed thin hair of medium length” – 66 seconds. 2 In manual mode to the minimum temperature of 120 ° C – 46 sec. It’s promised 30. But the quality of the work is not affected.

Picky

No voltage switch. You get used to this marvel and you can’t do without it when you travel all over the world?

For safety, there is an auto shut-off, and after 30 minutes, not an hour, as with most straighteners. A record in our test. The display shows a “cooling” icon and stays on until the temperature drops to 60 ° C.

Design

Smooth edges and rounded shape of the body make it a multistyler, which also allows you to create curls. Cord does not kink. Plates are spring loaded – t.n. “floating”, evenly distributed pressure and temperature.

Pickup

No loops and thermal bag, does not lock in the closed position – how to store it?

STRAIGHTENING: A SUMMARY OF THE TEST GROUP

Smart technology, hair care, floating plates, not only straightening, but also curling, quick auto-off.

No eyelet for hanging, cover, locking in closed position, voltage switch, ionization.
