Curly haired people - Revlon vs Dyson?

[Anonymous]

I use the Revlon one step to straighten my curls. It's quick and easy but does use a lot of heat. If you have thick curls like mine, is the Dyson brush attachment just as easy or easier? I'm not looking to flat iron, just blow it out.

Thanks!

Revlon. There isn’t enough tension with the dyson brush to pull curly hair smooth

Ha, this is a great tip. Thank you PP. You may have just saved me $550.

Or you can learn to work with and love your curls and you'll save $550 and a lot of heat damage, and have healthy hair.

Yes, but is part of having healthy hair being a jerk to people online just because? It's just hair. She can wear it the way she wants.

Revlon. Seems indestructible against my super thick waves

I have both. The Revlon is easier to work with (bc of the aforementioned tension thing), and it gives you a bouncy blow-out look.

The Dyson with the paddle brush attachment gives you straight hair (not a flat-ironed look, but more like an "I have straight hair" look, if that makes sense), and I've found my hair sort of has to settle into that look (so my hair looks good 30 minutes after I dry it). The results from the Dyson last longer (three days, instead of two with the Revlon).

How long does the paddle take?

Here are my choices:
1) wash it every day and thus dry the crap out of by doing so
2) Don't wash it every day and look like I've been electrocuted days 2-5
3) Blow it out once every 5 days and just give it a brush and go on all other mornings...

Don’t you exercise though? How can you go 5 days with a blow out and not even getting hair wet?

The Revlon dryer will destroy your curls, if you ever do wear your hair curly, it will end up a ball of frizz.

Instead, use a real hair dryer and round brush.

I agree, the revolt dryer seemed great the first two times, but noticed my hair became fried and frizzier. The heat is too intense.

My mom was using the Revlon & I have the Dyson; her hair ended up breaking off all over and she switched to the Dyson and is trying to grow it back. I think she liked the Revlon better, until it destroyed her hair.

LOL, yes! This!

And to the PP asking about working out, if I work out and it's not a "hair day", I just wash off my body. Hair only gets washed twice a week.

There are tons of reports of the breakage. I think it’s a mix of the tension and high heat people have described as benefits.
