REVLON One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Styler, for Less Frizz, More Shine, and Reduced Heat Damage for Salon Style Round Brush for Blowout, Black (Amazon Exclusive)

I have a lot of hair. A LOT. Like, wow, who is that Wookiee over there LOTS. I have looked into having a third arm surgically implanted (Is this a thing? Who would do it? Vascular surgery? Orthopedic surgery?These are the questions that keep me up at night🤔) because my shoulders are so tired holding up a dryer and a round brush for eternity. I briefly considered making a workout video (“Toned Arms: the Hairdryer Workout”), but was informed by fitness people that there isn’t a market for a 75-minute focus on the anterior deltoids. I almost have to wake up BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP in order to have enough time to dry my hair before work.This thing took me 8 minutes. I naturally assumed, upon finishing, that I had entered some sort of Amazon-created beauty time warp. I checked with my husband, in the next room, and in fact I did not go through a blowout wormhole. The silkier-than-silk style was accomplished by this miracle of a brush in 8 minutes (several more minutes were lost to running my hands through my hair and flicking it over my shoulder while smiling coquettishly in the mirror).If you struggle with an over abundance of hair like I do, seriously consider giving this amazing contraption a try.

I know I use these reviews so I wanted to share my experience with this product. First, my mom, daughter and I all have one. Mom has colored hair, I have natural and gray hair, and daughter has colored hair. My mom’s and daughter have very thick hair. Mine is thinner. Daughter and I have tons of natural curl. We all used to take an hour blow drying and styling. This tool will cut your time in half! You should use a good heat protector. We have all experienced our best hair days since using. Mom and daughter have eliminated using a flat iron and daughter says she gets excellent second and third day hair style from this. I have to do a little touch up with the flat iron (Florida humidity.). For the price point, I highly recommend this tool. Some have said it is loud, but I don’t find it louder than a blow dryer. You have 3 settings. Cool is not real cool but it is a great finishing temp. High is very hot. The brush doesn’t tangle in your hair so you can really get in and create volume. It’s a fairly light tool and tons easier than managing a round brush and blow dryer. I’ve used it twice, mom and daughter have been using for a few months. I will update my review if needed, but for now this is one of the best hair tools I have found. You will get a smooth, bouncy, full thick blow out at home.

After seeing the advertisement for a similar, higher-priced product, Amazon search results brought me to this Revlon dry and style all-in-one for a quarter of what the higher-priced product cost; this is a steal in comparison to the competitor.The DeliveryThe product showed up at my door in its original box and they slapped a mailing label on it. This gave me pause because since there was no protective packaging, I thought for sure the dryer would have been damaged in transit. Thankfully, the product was undamaged when I took it out of the box. On further inspection, it was not scratched or dinged up and it worked as soon as I plugged it in.The DryerThe product itself is quite large and larger than what I had expected. The oval shape of the brush head seemed concerning to me as I've only ever used a round brush with my NuMe Ionic Hair Dryer. The settings are cool, low, and high and are located on a dial at the bottom end of the dryer. To use the product was self-explanatory, all there is to do is plug it in, select the heat setting, and off you go to a great blow out.The ExperienceBefore blowing out my hair, I use whatever hair product I have on hand at the time. Right now, I am using a coconut oil hair moisturizing serum which helps to temper flyaways, leaves the hair with a smoother finish, and moisturizes. For my hair length, a nickel-size amount is just enough for my just-past-the-shoulders hair length and then comb through. Then I section off my hair to make drying more manageable.Starting with the back sections, I started with the low setting and brushed in a downward direction and letting the brush feature volumize on its own. The back sections are the most difficult for me because they are, for some strange reason, wavy, unruly, and difficult to keep straight. This brush dryer brought the back parts out and under for a nice bouncy finish. It was nearly a perfect 'C' formation that I couldn't believe. I then moved to the side sections and the crown and was surprised with the volume the brush gives. While I'm drying the side sections, I'm leaving hair rolled up in the brush and allowing it to remain there for a few seconds before I gently pull the brush through the length of my hair. Unbelievable. It was almost like having big Texas hair.Finishing up with the rest of my hair, I noticed that the grip on the dryer is much more comfortable than my other hairdryer and round brush. The thickness of the pommel makes for a very comfortable grip, and I didn't realize what a difference size made. The other thing I noticed is at the upper end of the dryer, there is room to grab the end with your other hand and work the brush into a rolling motion (if you like to use two hands, which I do).During the first use, I timed it as it normally takes me about 7 or 10 minutes to dry my hair. With the Revlon, it cut that time in half. My hair came out dry, volumized, shiny, sleek, and the finish was as though I had taken a straight iron to my hair before applying a curling iron. There was so much bounce to my hair that it felt like I just got a hair cut. When I pulled my hair into a pony at the end of the day, the pony was bouncy.The Next DayWhat I noticed when waking up the next day is that my hair was still bouncy and still sleek. With my normal hairdryer, I still had problems with frizz and my hair just did not keep through the rest of the day. Consequently, for second-day hair, I had to use a dry shampoo to give it a little life. With the Revlon, second-day hair felt just like it did the day before, which was nearly a shock. I called my girlfriend who had been looking at this product with me, and I told her that everything they said about it was true - and I didn't have to do my hair the second day because it kept through the night. Say what?!The PredecessorThe old hairdryer and round brush went back into my mom's bottom drawer in her bathroom, for when she comes to visit. Although I have a sneaky suspicion that when she tries my Revlon, she's going to toss those in the can.The Negative ReviewsYes, I have read all the negative reviews about how this thing craps out after a few uses, or two months, whichever occurs first. I hope that it does not happen here, and if it does, I will update this review to let you know how long it took for it to die on me.As for the other reviews about how the hair turns out following use . . . (1) don't leave the dryer in one place while you use, or it will burn your hair, doing anything with the application of heat has a tendency to burn if you leave it too long, that's just physics, (2) I did not have any hair loss while using this product, but I do comb out my wet hair first to work out any knots and tangles and comb through any product I am using before drying, and (3) if you do not have bounce or sleekness, um, go watch some YouTube videos and learn how to comb your hair.Great product, unbelievable. Totally thought it was a gimmick, and pleasantly surprised at how well this works - and for the price - you can't go wrong!

I bought this brush because I work out in the mornings and needed something that would make my hair routine after working out and getting ready to go to work much easier. The first one arrived damaged, very unusual for products i have ordered through Amazon. The issue was rectified within the same day and I received a brand new one next day.Here is the rundown:- The design is alright, a little heavy which makes it hard to maneuver but if all you’re looking for is a quick dry to style with the flat iron after, this brush does the trick.- I will emphasize “if all you’re looking for is a quick dry” because what this brush will not do is completely style your hair and leave a salon do for you.- I still stand by it being a good value for your money because I feel like hand held blow dry brushes are generally not meant to dry your hair all stylized like that. I read quite a few reviews of people saying the blow dryer “blew up” and “burnt bristles” before I bought this brush and I get it because they’re just not meant to hold up the heat for the length of drying super wet hair to super dry. I feel like it does the job with damp, air-dried hair.- Damp after workout hair is dry in a timely manner, between 5-7min. I have coarse shoulder length hair and do keratin treatments every 2 months to keep it under control. I will try to update with photos soon.
