Heist is encouraging men everywhere to bid farewell to flat and lifeless hair with the launch of their brand-new specialist men’s hairdryer and tool kit. The kit is made up of a men’s hairdryer with a salon strength 2,200W engine for super-fast drying with Blue UV light technology for shine and scalp conditioning, giving you a smooth barber-style finish in half the time.
