Revlon dryer -- I was a big fan

[Anonymous]

Plus one for the Revlon brush…as others have said, you just have to use it correctly. I use it about 3 times a week, and I wait until my hair is essentially dry, just a little damp. I use a light heat protectant, and I do use it on the highest setting. IMO it is better/less damaging to go through it once on high vs. multiple passes on low. I wrap my hair around the brush, hold it for a few seconds, then unroll it with some wrist flicking.

Looks professional. I have thrown away my curling iron and straightener. My hair is actually healthier.

Another vote for the air wrap over revlon. I switched after experiencing the same dryness and haven’t looked back.

My hair is a lot of curly thin hair, I find if I spend the extra time to use the larger curling wands attachments I get less of a curl and more of a smooth blow out that can last a couple days.

The Revlon hair dryer brush is too hot. This is not healthy for hair. I think you can try Dyson airwrap but unless you use the curling attachments which is its great feature - not worth it.

You can buy a T3 hair dryer (really good one) at costco for $70 and use low heat and cool shot. Sounds like some people who have really thick hair the high heat works for them but in general for fine hair revlon is horrible.
Dyson airwrap is used for fine hair to create volume by using the curling attachment to give a sense of volume. If that makes your hair look great then it is ok. For $500 dollars it really needs to work for you otherwise it is a waste of money.

Good hair comes from inside - eating healthy/exercise and outside - not using excessive heat/products all the time. Some products promise great hair when no product can do that - only make your current hair look better.

I have the Dryer one and it's good but I can see it frying your hair if you use a lot. It was easy to use though and I think worth the money.

I have thick wavy/curly hair. I bought a refurbished Airwrap ($400) and I'm happy with it. I also have the Revlon but I never got a really smooth result with it - always lots of frizz and flyaways. With the Airwrap, I use the straightening brush and it gets my hair pretty straight - not totally straight - really quickly with no frizz. Then I use the curling wand or brush to style the ends.

I only use it once a week or less. I'm sure if I did it daily I'd damage my hair.

I had the exact same experience. The Revlon absolutely fried my hair. Dyson is amazing - so so fast and my hair isn’t burning hot from being dried like it was with Revlon.

The Revlon was literally burning my hair. I love the Dyson. It's not a miracle worker, but it's better for me than a round brush and my hair is not being damaged.

DO NOT use the Revlon dryer as an actual hair dryer for wet hair. It's a finishing tool for when your hair is mostly dry. I air dry, then dry a bit further, but not all the way, with a blowdryer and round brush to tame my hair (holding blowdryer at a distance), then finish with the Revlon.

I had issues with the original Revlon brush - I saw damage from the high heat. But after it died on me, I got the new version (I think it's called One Step Volumizer Plus) and the medium heat setting is a true medium - warm enough to smooth and volumize my thick, wavy/frizzy hair, but not so hot that it's damaging. I use it 2-3 times per week after rough-drying with a regular dryer and my hair is super healthy and smooth.

TL;DR: the new version of the Revlon brush is MUCH better.

Like previous posters have stated - I think the issue is ppl using the dryer as an actual blow dryer for wet hair. That's the most damaging part. For any of these (Revlon, Dyson, etc.), the key is the hair is mostly dry and use a heat protectant.

I use the DryBar doubleshot and it has various temps but I still wait until my hair is air dried to about 80% before using any appliance. Never use these dryers everyday. Blowouts should last a minimum of 2 - and you can stretch it out to 3 either by putting your hair up and/or using dry shampoo.

After being blowtorched by multiple hairstylists, I decided that using the Revlon brush twice a week is just fine for my very frizzy hair. I use lots of heat protectant and wait until it's about 85% dry - at which point it's huge and bushy. I then re-dampen it a bit with a spray bottle of water and in five minutes, I have a silky smooth blowout. It's been life-changing for me.

Are you using serums and oils and other heat-protective hair products? You can’t heat-style regularly without giving your hair something back. It’s not the Revlon thingy’s fault, an oven can produce a dry cake or a moist one—it’s about the ingredients.
