Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2020Bought this because my cousin couldn't stop raving about hers. I normally am pretty skilled with a blow dryer and round brush. I felt like my Babybliss dryer was causing a lot of heat damage even with a diffuser so I thought I would give this a whirl while the whole world is on corona lock down and there's not much else to do.
For reference I have thick course hair, to my shoulder blades and heavily layered. Damp to dry normally takes about 20-25 minutes.
I'll do the cons first and by no means should they discourage from purchasing this beautiful hair bestie. The cord stinks, it should be longer and it's stiff. I can't use an extension because it has the surge and when I do it trips the fuse. It might be better with shorter hair as you're not needing to pull the hair out so far.
I'm not keen on the controls either. They twist at the base and there is no heat setting. You have your choice of cool, low and high. Had Revelon put heat settings on this I would pay triple.
I would like if it had a cool shot button as well so I didn't have to twist the bottom to switch.
So better options on the controls and the cord. Those are my only cons.
Pros, on the same note the cool shot - I finish each piece with the cool and it really locks in the style and shine. Normally I would hold down a cool shot to do this, with this I go over everything again at the end. I also bleach from a level 3 to 10. I appreciate being able to style areas I feel are too dry with the strength of air this thing pushes out, it takes a few extra minutes but worth it because no damage. Thebrush is nice, it grips without rip. It is large and I'm not sure how it would do on very short hair but my cousin has a bob style right over her shoulders and uses this daily, her hair looks great. It really gets in at my roots without much hassle. My roots like to trick me into thinking they're dry when they're really still damp but with this guy I won't be fooled again.
I do not think it's heavy. But I'm a gym rat and my other dryers are heavier. I'm able to style with one hand and use my free to hold the shorter layers into place around the brush if they start to slide. I have no problem flipping the ends in or out depending how I'm styling that day. It still takes me a good 20 minutes at least to blow dry but having the option of resting one arm while the other works is a lot less tiring.
I've had it for a week and I'm so satisfied with the finished results that I haven't turned on my curling or flat iron once. I have spritzed with water and blown out any issues that arose during the night from sleep. This feels a lot less damaging to my locks so that's a huge plus for me.
I absolutely love this thing, I didn't think I would, I was being a snob, I admit it. If Revelon would update the controls and the cord I would say this is the perfect piece of blowout machinery. It is still a solid 5 star as far as I'm concerned. Highly recommend.
