The stone thatanswers heat.
Warm most materials and they simply get hot. Warm tourmaline and it becomes electrically charged. Every Veaudry tool is built on that one fact.
Warm it yourselfThree centuries of people noticing the same thing.

The ash puller.
Dutch traders carry the stone to Europe from Sri Lanka and notice something odd: warmed by a pipe, it pulls ash towards itself. They name it aschentrekker, the ash puller.

The electric stone.
Carl Linnaeus connects that pull to electricity and gives the crystal a scientific name: lapis electricus.

The Curie brothers.
Pierre and Jacques Curie use tourmaline crystals to discover piezoelectricity, charge made by pressure. The stone has lived in laboratories ever since.

The salon.
Hairstylist Michelle Stanton pairs it with ceramic and puts it on a styling plate: South Africa's first tourmaline-ceramic styler.
Warm it yourself.
Drag the heat up and watch what the crystal does, and what that does to a strand of hair.
Room temperature. A handsome stone, and nothing more.
As it warms, the crystal becomes charged and starts to release negative ions.
Styling heat. Ions close the cuticle while far-infrared warmth reaches the core of the strand. The surface lies flat, so it shines.
An illustration of the principle, not a measurement.
What one pass does.
-
Heat from within
Far-infrared warmth travels into the strand instead of sitting on its surface, so the outer layer takes less of the punishment.
-
A closed cuticle
Tourmaline and ceramic together release more negative ions than ceramic alone. They help the cuticle close faster, locking in moisture and colour.
-
Even, every pass
Ceramic spreads heat across the whole plate. No hot spots, and no need to go over the same section twice.
Why tourmaline needs ceramic.
Shine that is engineered, not chanced.
Technology that Cares.
It started with a stone and a stylist.
