SPYING a sleekly designed, fits right into your palm device that looks like a cross between an arced computer mouse and something that might, erm, vibrate, one could be forgiven for thinking this is some kind of new ergonomic womanly toy.
Well the Reduit Hair Pod IS – but it’s a very posh toy for the hair and scalp. While it pulses out a gentle mist of precision designed hair care product contained in space saving pods, with products tailored to hair type, it creates a sort of lovely enfleurage, leaving a barely their vapour trail in the wake of your hair. And, it’s the quick device of choice for those styling the cat walk hair of Victoria Beckham’s models. I figure if the pros use it as a quick fix shuzz up for those in need of one, it’s got to have something I don’t.
This is a very nice, space saving way to carry about lots of haircare products without spillage fear of going over the allowable liquids limit, when travelling. It delivers, through a fine mist or small pulses, the right product to the precise parts of your hair that needs it.
The Shine Diffusion Hair Pod, for example, delivers the lightest amount, which goes counter to intuition for those with dry, wiry hair like mine; when if in doubt, pour over lashings and leave it in. This precision delivery of product leaves a light, not overly treated result, which in turn leaves no build up, which in turn, means, less shampoo when you need to wash your hair. It saves product, time and effort, and looks and smells wonderful.

Reduit Precision Conditioner Hair pod
Each pod contains about 20 doses of the amount of product you need, which means using loads less than you are used to, and a degree of trust. I am happy to report that since using the device, my long hair looks fluffier without looking dry, and in my wake, wafts a delicate air of something promising.
If you crunch the numbers, it is 38 times more effective than regular products, 20 times less wasteful and takes about 30 seconds to use. Stylish, sleek, economic and ecological. All this plus, you will have loaded more space in your bathroom or suitcase, as well as a beautiful barnet.
