our story
After decades of working in children’s personal care, we thought we knew a thing or two about bathtime.
Then we had children of our own.
We discovered there were plenty of products, tips and tricks to help make bathtime smoother. But once the splashing stopped and the towels came out, everything seemed to unravel.
The calm disappeared.
Hair drying was the moment that changed everything. The noise. The wriggling. The heat. The rush to get everyone ready for bed.
Like many parents, we sometimes skipped it altogether, with damp hair, a quick towel dry and fingers crossed until morning.
The result was tangles, knots, and hair that seemed to have developed a personality of its own overnight. An unmanageable bedhead. Essentially, we had just pushed the problem into the next day.
Sharing stories one morning, we found ourselves thinking, there has to be a better way. And that was the beginning of AirHeads.
From the start, we knew we wanted to create something designed specifically for children.
It needed to be lightweight for little hands, quiet enough for calmer moments, and gentle enough for young scalps.
But we wanted it to feel different too. It needed to be soft. Not just in a friendly sense. Properly squishy soft and comfortable. Like nothing we’d ever tried.
As we explored children's hair care in more detail, we commissioned independent research to better understand the needs of families. We discovered 75% of children have curls, coils or wavy hair, with no focussed method of drying. Kids diffusers are seemingly non-existent. The AirHeads Flexi Diffuser was built around this need.
When the first prototypes of our soft silicone stylers arrived, we knew we were onto something special.
Then came the testing.
The refining.
And more testing.
Roping in neighbours, colleagues and even stopping parents in the street. We needed as many people as possible to add this into their routine and feedback on their experience.
From the reassurance of the safe, sensory setting to the soft feel of the stylers, everything was shaped by real parents and real children.
A dryer designed to bring a little more comfort, a little more confidence, and a little more calm to everyday routines.
Because between bathtime and bedtime, there’s room for softer moments.
And that's what AirHeads is all about.
Healthy, happy heads.
We hope you love it as much as we do.
