SkinVibe Nuvia AirPlasma MultiStyler

Yes. For drying you use the Drying Nozzle, onto which you attach the Concentrator or Diffuser. The 110,000 rpm BLDC motor and 24 m/s airflow dry shoulder-length hair in about 4⁠-⁠6 minutes, and long, thick hair in 6⁠-⁠8 minutes. Before fitting the styling attachments, pre-dry your hair with the Drying Nozzle: the manual recommends it for pre-drying before styling.

Nuvia curls with warm air, not a barrel with a heating element, so on straight, fine hair you'll get soft waves and volume rather than bouncy curls that last three days. How long they hold depends on your routine: damp strands, mousse, the 32 mm barrel, a cold-shot finish on every strand and a moment in a clip.

The first two or three times will take 30⁠-⁠45 minutes, because you're learning the order of the attachments and the curl direction. After three washes most people get down to 15⁠-⁠25 minutes from wet hair to finished style.

Not for drying or smoothing with the brushes. For curls and waves that should last until evening, we recommend mousse on damp hair before curling and a cold-shot finish. Hairspray is optional.

The manufacturer states a maximum of 70 dB, roughly the level of a conversation in a café. On the lowest speed it is noticeably quieter than on the highest.

The attachments that go on the body click into place and are locked by the Lock Switch. The Concentrator and Diffuser stay on the Drying Nozzle magnetically and rotate through 360 degrees, so you don't need to take them off to change the angle.

The 32 mm barrel gives a tighter curl and better hold, the 40 mm barrel looser waves. Each has a rotating tip with arrows: turn it and the airflow changes direction. That way you wrap strands away from your face on both the left and the right side with the same attachment.

The cycle is the fourth temperature mode, in which the device switches between warm and cold air by itself to set the strand without you counting seconds. You turn on the cold shot by holding the temperature button for about 1.5 seconds: cold air flows for as long as you hold it, and when you let go, the previous mode returns.

The Oval Brush and the Round Brush turn the ends under and lift hair at the roots, even on chin-length hair. The curling barrels need a strand that wraps at least twice around the barrel, which in practice means hair past your shoulders.

The Diffuser is for drying natural curls and the brushes for smoothing. Nuvia won't straighten very tightly curled hair the way a straightener does. On hair like that, expect longer styling and use a smoothing product.

No. You switch it on and off by holding the round power button for 2 seconds. Everything else is set with the buttons: the display shows the temperature mode by colour and the airflow speed with a bar, and the device remembers your last settings after you switch it off.

Plasma generates positive and negative ions at the same time: in Nuvia, a total of 400 million per cubic centimetre. They neutralise static charges on the hair surface, so your hair frizzes less and is less static, and your style is easier to shape. Plasma works automatically, with no separate switch.

Yes. You style with air up to 90 °C, not with a plate at 165⁠-⁠210 °C, so your hair is under less strain than with classic curling tongs or a straightener. If your hair is fine or damaged, use the 70 °C mode and finish with the cold shot.

Yes, a faint, distinctive smell may appear during the first few uses. It is a natural effect of the plasma, not a fault. It usually disappears after a few uses.

The filter cover is held on magnetically: slide it down, clean the mesh dry with a small brush and put it back. Don't wash it with water.

You get a 24-month warranty, serviced in Poland, and 30 days to return the product without giving a reason. Return shipping is at your own cost. Attachments are not yet sold separately; if one gets damaged, write to us at contact@skinvibe.eu.
