Revive Mode® Explained: Our Expert’s Guide to Cloud Nine’s Exclusive Hair Health Technology

WHAT IS REVIVE MODE® AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

When Revive Mode® is switched on, it activates our proprietary Axial Vibration™ technology which vibrates the plates on your Cloud Nine straightener 8,000 times per minute. This intelligent technology minimises friction, drag, and exposure to direct heat while the plates glide through your hair – delivering maximum shine and protection every time you style.

“Revive Mode® is our signature feature – exclusive to Cloud Nine straighteners. Once you switch on Revive Mode® and embrace healthy heat styling, you’ll never look back.” – Marie Nieuwoudt.

3 BENEFITS OF REVIVE MODE®

These are the key benefits of Revive Mode® which make it a game-changer in hair health.

1. All glide, no pull

Revive Mode® is powered by Axial Vibration™ technology which, once activated, vibrates the plates of your Cloud Nine straightener at 8,000 times per minute. This ensures your hair is fed smoothly between the plates, minimising friction and pull. Paired with our mineral-infused Spring-Flex™ plates, Revive Mode® prevents the plates from clamping down while you style, helping you to achieve a glossy, smooth finish.

2. Even heat distribution

When you activate Revive Mode®, the vibrating plates move up and down to distribute heat evenly across your hair, preventing the hot spots that often exist in other ceramic straighteners. This intelligent design prevents the clamping and clasping that static plates can often cause, helping to banish inconsistent heat transfer and therefore unnecessary hair damage.

Working together with your straightener’s mineral-infused plates, activating Revive Mode® means you won’t need to go over the same sections of your hair multiple times to achieve a healthy style. Plus, the technology’s gentle vibration works to cushion the impact of direct heat, helping to break the cycle of damage while putting you on the path to healthier hair from your first use.

3. Long-term hair health

While excessive heat styling can help you achieve your desired look in the short term, it eventually leads to dryness, dullness, and damage as your strands crave moisture.

Revive Mode® changes everything when combined with Cloud Nine’s Variable Temperature Control. This allows you to use the temperature that suits your hair’s type, condition, and the look you’re going for – ultimately protecting your hair’s health while you style. Using these two features together also helps to preserve your hair’s colour long-term. With Revive Mode®, you can keep achieving versatile, glossy styles – while promoting your hair’s strength – time and time again.
