Doing my own hair isn’t typically where I like to spend a lot of my time, so when I got asked to test the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer Hot Air Brush, it was an easy yes. Hot brushes are a 2-in-1 user-friendly option for getting a salon-quality blowout from the comfort of your home in little to no time. It also leaves out the learning curve of using two hands at once with a round brush (something I realize is an extremely foreign feeling if you aren’t a hairstylist like me).
When trying this hot brush for the first time, one of the first things I noticed was how extremely it fast heat up. The moment I turned the temperature dial on ‘high’, it was instantly hot! No waiting period. In fact, if you have short hair and wear jewelry around your neck, I suggest taking some caution because this high heat will burn if you’re not careful. The ceramic coating on this brush allows for even heat distribution and its ion generator promotes faster drying. Let me tell you, those two features definitely made themselves known.
This brush has an oval shape, which is a part of its great design, enabling volume with minimal effort. The large, rounded edges help to re-create the work you’d be doing with a round brush to get lift. Nylon pin and tufted bristles also help with their extremely soft and flexible movement, making it easier to dry close to the scalp. These bristles move in and out of the hair with ease, never tangling or getting caught like a round brush, yet never causing any static to hair as it dries.
And the grip on this brush isn’t as uncomfortable as some of the other larger hot brushes I’ve tried. This one slims down in the center for a more comfortable grip. Either way, I’m sure it’s way more comfortable for the average consumer than using two hands at once with a round brush.
With a barrel of this size, you’re mostly going to get a smooth straight blowout. You can get a lot of volume from root to ends, and even a subtle curl on the ends (especially on longer hair). But note, if you want a wavy blowout with some bends in your finished look, a large oval-size barrel probably isn’t the hot brush for you.
The Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer gave me a quick, easy-to-achieve, salon-quality blowout in mere minutes. I used it on my partially air-dried hair, though it was mostly damp. This brush made my frizz vanishes, and didn’t require me to go over my sections multiple times to get the job done. My waves had no problem smoothing out with ease, and the lift I got was awesome.
This One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer is an unbeatable find at around $60 on most major retailer sites. That may roughly be around the price of going into a blow-dry bar, but with this brush, you can recreate the look multiple times a week for at least 4 years. I say at least 4 years because this product offers a 4-year limited warranty. So you can depend on getting any malfunctions (should there be any) properly addressed by the company. That’s hard to beat. No need to leave the house, no tips to be included, no learning curves for getting it done at home. For the convenience this tool offers, I can’t think of a reason not to own this hot brush.
