FloX: The Hair Tool That Thinks Like a Tech Product - Yanko Design
"There's something refreshing about a hair tool that doesn't try to hide what it is. FloX, designed by Hyeokin Kwon, sits comfortably at the intersection of industrial design and everyday beauty routine, looking more like a precision instrument than another pink gadget drowning in curved plastic. It's the kind of product that makes you stop and think about why we've accepted mediocre design in our bathrooms for so long."
"At first glance, FloX reads as almost severe in its minimalism. The body splits into two distinct halves: a cool silver exterior paired with matte black accents that house the business end of the tool. This isn't decorative contrast for the sake of looking expensive. The two-tone design actually signals function, showing you exactly where to grip and where the heat lives. It's honest design that respects your intelligence."
FloX presents a minimalist, two-tone body that differentiates grip and heated areas through functional silver and matte black finishes. The design uses 13 aluminum fan blades driven by a BLDC motor to actively cool the device during use, preventing uncomfortable heat buildup. A subtle LED strip indicates temperature with orange for hot and blue for cool, and the indicator sits flush with the body to preserve clean lines. The head features gently tapered plates that enable both straight styles and loose waves, while the overall aesthetic emphasizes precision and honest industrial design.
