Revlon RVDR5212 Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler, Lightweight, Ionic Technology, Ergonomic Handle, Black

Product Information

It’s a little time-consuming, and clearly, my bicep curls need work as my arms started to ache, but in my opinion, the result is worth it. Once your hair leaves the wand, you’re left with a perfectly held, bouncy curl that looks like the work of a pro. With a little help from some hair spray, I was also impressed by the lasting power. My curls held their own for longer than expected, and I could even see a little wave the following day. Volumising Oval Brush It has three blow settings that you can toggle between: high, low, and cool. As with any type of hair dryer or hot tool, it's a good idea to prep your hair with a heat protectant before you use it. When switched on, the dryer blows through the brush head, and you can brush your hair through with it, twirling the device continuously in place until the section is dry. I have naturally curly hair, and it's one of the few products that smooths and shapes my hair without fuss. I only use it on low or cool settings because it's hotter than the surface of the sun."

I began with the root concentrator, and I have to say, kudos to you Revlon. I initially thought this would be my ‘I’ll give that one a miss’ attachment, but I was very impressed with the clever concept. First of all, decide how much versatility you want from the hot air styler. Do you only ever smooth and straighten your hair, or are you looking for an appliance that can also add volume and create soft waves, or even tight curls? Look for models that come bundled with the correct attachments for these different looks. In the box you’ll find a gentle drying attachment to rough-dry wet hair, two different barrel sizes to create looser or tighter curls, two paddle brushes for smoothing, and one round brush for salon-style volume. There are three heat and three speed settings that can be independently selected for maximum control over styling, and buttons for both are built neatly into the handle and intuitive to find and use while styling the hair. We’ve all been there; sitting on your bedroom floor, fighting with a million different cords, aching arms and a sweaty upper lip, trying to create the work of a pro. It’s a stressful experience that has us (or me at least) grabbing the straighteners in defeat. You’d think as a beauty writer I would have mastered the art of a bouncy blow-dry. Well, sorry to disappoint, but it’s a skill I am yet to get the hang of. I still walk out of salons and internally cry, knowing that I’ll never be able to remake the work of a professional at home.Step 3 - For voluminous Salon Blow-Dry Remove the concentrator and attach the 64mm Oval Brush attachment. With Oval brush : To curl ends IN, place the oval brush UNDER the ends and hold or 2 to 3 seconds before rotating inward. To curl ends OUT, place the oval brush OVER the ends and hold for 2 to 3 seconds before rotating outward.

There’s no doubt that the Dyson Airwrap Complete is expensive; but ease of use, the variety of styles you can create, and the benefits to hair health make it a worthwhile investment for those who heat-style hair regularly. There are a range of optional features and materials that will improve your hot-brushing experience. Keep an eye out for models that use ionic technology and ceramic materials, since these are gentler on the hair. Hot air brushes that can be used on wet or damp hair are great time-savers, since you can skip blow-drying and get straight to styling. Any hair care appliance that uses heat to style will damage the outer protective coating of hair, known as a cuticle. The cuticle is formed of layers of overlapping cells known as scales. The same Brush designed with Nylon Pin & Tufted Bristles for detangling, improved volume and control. Unique Oval Brush Design for Smoothing the Hair, while the Round Edges Create Volume. 1100-Watt power provides just the right heat. Unlike conventional hair dryers, this volumizer can be placed closer to the scalp for lift. 3 Heat/Speed Settings for Styling Flexibility

WOW!

Straightening brushes work best on dry hair. As you would when using a straightener, start at the top of the hair and glide the brush slowly down, pulling the hair taut as you go. No matter the style of brush you’re using, begin by spritzing the hair with heat protector spray to prevent damage, stopping your hair from snapping or splitting. Our favourite is GHD Heat Protect Spray, because the lightweight mist gives a no-product feel that doesn’t weigh down the hair. What features should I look out for?
