L’Oreal outdid itself this year at CES with its new Colorsonic appliance. With this handheld device, dyeing your hair at home is now a complete new experience. This is how it works: You order your preferred color from the 40 shades available in the Colorsonic's collection, then you load the cartridge and brush the gadget through your hair, starting at the roots. The Colorsonic uses an oscillating nozzle of bristles to apply the dye in a zig-zag pattern for consistent coverage, without any drips or any kind of mess.

Our favorite product is: Samsung Freestyle Projector
