Revlon Dryer Brush

[Anonymous]

It's OP, I'm back.

I have curly hair too, kind of tight, but DD's is extremely frizzy. I've probably spent

The Revlon brush was so fast and easy for DD to use after a little air drying. But the hair was not super straight. It was a very poofy fluffy fluff, mostly straight. We need to add another step to go from huge poof with waves to pin straight. I'm guessing:

flattening iron + styling product?

We didn't use any gel or cream. Any iron and styling aid suggestions?

oops got cut off - meant to say we spent $1000 on hair products for curly hair for her and absolutely nothing on earth fixes her hair. It just wants to be frizzy and matted. No matter how often we wash it too.

Why not buy some curl cream and watch videos on YouTube for how to style it? Embrace her curls. I'm thankful for the pandemic because it allowed me to learn how to manage my curls.

Also, co-wash and get a ouidad or deva cut.

Don’t forget the Revlon dryer is best used on hair that is about 70-80% dry.

omg you serious? it will be so curly by then

Keep in mind that the Revlon is designed to replace a round brush and blowdryer. Do you round-brush sopping wet hair? No.

Actually, yes I do, as do all my hairstylists. I have thick, curly hair that straighten. What is your hair like?

Non-damaged.

Yeah, neither is mine, but do go on.

I posted this on page 1. I have wavy and frizzy hair. This knocks out any frizz for me. You can buy the small version to test out. You have to use tension and heat for the product to work. So the Revlon dryer or a round brush and regular dryer works, but you can’t just spray it and dry it or let it air dry.

Use this every 4-5 washes:

Your hair might be fine (doubtful) but it's giving bad advice to OP. Would you tell her to take a clothes iron to her kid's sopping wet hair?

I looked it up because I was curious how nutso you are. An iron is about 400F. The Revlon dryer, according to this test, is 175 tops.
A curling or flat iron is twice that! I would not have guessed.

NP but I have been using a hair dryer and round brush on damp (not sopping wet) hair (with a heat protectant cream) for years, I also use a flat iron and heat protectant on 2nd day hair. My hair thick and I get a lot of compliments. I've tried the Revlon One step on damp (not sopping wet) hair using my heat protectant cream and it FRIED my hair. I'm not sure why this is so hard for you to believe. It doesn't work for some people, chill out.

This stuff is a god-send for me as well. I find that my hair doesn't get as greasy and I can go longer between washes as well. You really want to coat you hair in this stuff (it's the consistency of water, so you can't really over-do it). The first time I used it was at a Blo Bar, which was helpful because I could see how much the stylist was using.

It will cause extreme damage.

I asked you this on a different thread - but what's the point? I thought people use this hair dryer to save time, but what you're doing doesn't seem like it would save any time at all. I'd rather just keep using my regular hair dryer and finish with a round brush then have to spend the time switching tools and have to find the space for two different hair dryers. It seems dumb to do this! Do you not know how to straighten your hair with a round brush? Is that the issue? It's really not hard.

And guess why those tools (flat iron & curling wand) don't have the bad reputation that the Revlon does? It's because you don't use those tools on soaking wet hair.

It's fine, the cheap-o $35 tool works for you, it doesn't work for other people. You're slowly losing it.

I think that is the point for some people, I am not coordinated enough to hold the brush in the right spot AND get the blow dryer in the right place AND yank hard enough to get a salon blow out all at the same time, hah.

I had Revlon dryer brush and thought it was awesome at first, then too drying. TBH, I may not have been using heat protectant consistently then.

I got a Dyson Airwrap early on. I was happy at first. But maybe my hair changed? In the end, I felt that it was either not hot enough, or didn't hold hair taut enough, to really make it smooth and stay that way. Ponytail city.

My hair is very think and medium wavy, and I had a phase of trying to do natural texture "curly girl" following the method, also tried heatless satin rollers overnight, those results are too unpredictable and slow to learn, and maybe just don't work for me. Ponytail city again.

IEncouraged by reports that blowouts are back "in," and the thought that maybe I just want to look good, I got a DryBar Double Shot, and it is def the best I have had, we'll see where it goes from here.

Heat protectant is totally bogus. What do you imagine it’s doing? At best it distributes heat slightly better than just water, but hardly enough to make a difference. It might smooth your hair but not by “protecting” it from heat. The beauty industry is such BS.

NP - yes, and you were rude on the other thread too.

ugh the revlon brush will destroy her hair. Get the Dyson Air Wrap and use Olaplex 4&5 and the #7 oil. Worth every cent.
