Revlon hairdryer - not impressed

[Anonymous]

I love it! I have fine slightly wavy hair and when I use it, I can actually look like I got a blowout. My best results are letting my hair dry till just slightly damp and using a heat spray. It is not a substitute for a blow dryer. You cannot use it on very wet hair. Wish it was not as noisy.

Then i use the revlon dryer as a finishing tool and it takes all of 3 min to smooth my hair. I don’t think it’s a good choice for wet or even pretty damp hair.

Rough dry your roots completely with a standard, high-power hair drier then use it for the middle and ends. If you have thick hair and don't dry your roots first you won't get smooth results and it will take forever. I have long, thick, wavy hair and can get my hair from towel to out the door in less than 15 minutes. (Including a quick flip with my flat iron on my curtain bangs)

I got the Shark. I think it’s a lot better than Revlon dryer.

What kind of hair do you have, and how long is your hair, and how long does the drying take with the Dyson airwrap?

I have a revlon and a dyson air wrap - to be honest the revlon is certainly better value. It works great for an every day look, the Dyson is better for my hair and gives me more options but is it worth 10x as much? I don't think so.\

But yes, it's not for soaking wet hair, it works better on hair that is mostly dry.

I have fine straight hair and it fried my hair. My stylist audibly gasped when she saw me.

Similar situation for me. I have a lot of wavy hair. I liked the dryer at the beginning but it left my hair dry and frizzy no matter what heat protectant I used. I gave it to my daughter who has thinner, straighter hair and it works well for her.

I have thin, straight hair and it works well for me, too.

I had it and liked it but it fried my hair and I was cleaning wads of hair out of it all the time. I switched to the Drybar version and have good results and so much less hair loss.

I like it for my Type 2 curly hair. I prefer the oval shaped brush for a fuller look. I agree with the PP who noted that it makes my hair too hot to touch for a few seconds. But my hair is much less frizzy when I use this compared to a blow dryer.

My 82YO mom uses the smaller brush, as it is light weight and much easier for her to use to dry her hair. She had recently gone to just air drying it because it was too hard to hold a brush and hair dryer long enough to dry her hair. The light weight small round one works well for her thinning Type 2 hair and doesn't tire her arm.

It makes my hair flat and lifeless. I've found that any dryer/tool that's "Ionic" takes all of the body out of my hair. I have to work hard these days to find a non-ionic hair dryer.

It's amazing for me, but I have straight, thick hair.

As far as weight goes, I just switched from the actual Revlon to this smaller knock off (though the original is on a black friday sale right now). https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CB315PD9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I used the Revlon until it died, lasted six years!

Do you have thin hair? It makes my hair have volume and looks like a blow out.
