LIFE TECH FEATURE

visit stack.com.au COOL TECH FOR MUM HAIR CARE PRODUX Your mum is an amazingly multi-faceted woman, so we've selected a great range of styling tools to make her mane even more glorious than it obviously already is. Consider this a gift idea guide for Mother's Day.

Parlux Alyon hair dryer What is it? Parlux Alyon hairdryer (now in the beautiful new Jade colourway)

What does it do? Rather than just puffing hot air out its barrel, the Alyon uses Air Ionizer Tech (ionic technology). Science time! Negative ions are transferred to the hair, which then attract the positive ions in the water on your hair, meaning hair dries faster. This system also results in far less damage to the hair follicles and shaft than you'd usually get with such a high-powered airflow, as the process retains your mane's natural moisture by sealing the strands' cuticles. Who is it for? Mums who colour their hair will appreciate the Alyon's excellent track record in reducing strand damage. Meanwhile, let's face it – everyone could do with several minutes shorn off their hair-drying time. The Alyon will also suit the aesthetically conscious, as it's pretty enough to be left out on your bathroom counter instead of shoved in a cupboard.

Remington Adjustable Hair Waver What is it? Remington Adjustable Hair Waver What does it do? There's curls, and then there's waves, and if your mum is more in the relaxed style of the latter, this is the nifty little product that'll have her looking beach-beaut. Remington has developed a design that's something between a curler and a crimper; you lay your hair through the barrels and press, then move the Waver down the length of your hair, pressing at each interval. If you're wondering what stops the hair flopping out of the barrel's ends – a most irritating phenomenon that's common in cheap models – rest assured the grip tech advanced ceramic coating on the heated surfaces (of which you can select from five settings) will stop that nonsense in its tracks. Lastly, you can adjust the barrels into four different types of waves. Who is it for? Mums who dig the more chilled elegance of a loose wave over super put-together curls will adore this easy-to-use product.

Vidal Sassoon Unbound Cordless Auto Curler What is it? Vidal Sassoon Unbound Cordless Auto Curler What does it do? Unlike your wand-style curler, VS's Auto Curler doesn't require Mum to twist her arms into pretzels trying to get her hair sections wound evenly. You slide your hair into the Curler's notch, hit the button, and the internal barrel whizzes around to suck your hair gently into the perfect curl, heating it on the way. And they don't have to be the same, cookie- cutter curls every time: this smarty-pants product allows you to change the width and direction of the curls too – plus, its cordless design means Mum won't be chained to the powerpoint while she creates her glamorous 'do. Who is it for? The Auto Curler is for those who love the charm of seductive curls but find the traditional, more labour-intensive process of a wand simply too boring to fathom.

GREAT MOTHERS IN HISTORY

Marie Curie (1867-1934) Marie Curie not only discovered polonium and radium and was an advocate for using radiation in medicine, she helped develop the mobile X-ray machine during World War One. Widowed when her husband was killed in an accident, Curie raised her two daughters alone. Oh, and she also became the first woman to win the Nobel Prize. In fact, she won it twice.
