I was so skeptical of this device. I had been eyeing it for awhile, and on prime days it went on sale so I figured I would check it out. My hair is pretty thick, and wavy. It usually takes about 45 min to dry with a round brush. Then I would have to straighten it.
This tool, is amazing. I love it. It dried my hair in 18min. My hair was smooth and looked great. There was no need to go back over it with a flat iron.
I am obsessed with the tool. I travel a lot for work and this will replace my blow dryer, flat iron, and round brush. Freeing up my bag for more space. I think every person needs one of these. It’s just that great!

Alright, take a seat, let me tell you how good this thing is. Once upon a time, I would struggle to do my hair, like many of us girls, I’ve dyed my hair, not a lot, but, it has definitely damaged my hair a bit. I used to dye it black only but decided to change it up and do the famous “ balayage” and she had to remove the black dye so, I was in the salon for 5 hours. Mind you, I’m a very simple girl, I don’t really do my hair everyday or my makeup and when I do, I do the easiest most comfortable hairstyle possible. I would usually just curl my hair since it would hide the dry, burned parts of my hair. I was looking for something that would make my hair smooth without having to iron it and at the same time, give it volume since I have thin hair. After reading some reviews and looking at some pictures, I bought it. I got it 2 days later and as soon as I did, I washed my hair and spent some time trying it out. I applied some heat protectant and some oil in the lower part of my hair and maybe spent some 30 minutes going at it. Wow wow wow, I couldn’t believe my hair could like that, I really thought I was in a Pantene commercial, I instantly called my boyfriend and showed it off. I texted some friends that struggle with their hair too and I had to tell them about the amazing tool I had just discovered. I felt like Christopher Columbus. My friend came over the next day and I did her hair, and she bought it right there and then. The end.

I don’t write reviews often, but this product is a game changer. Normally, my hair is soft and beautiful after getting it professionally styled, and that’s it. Otherwise, I’ve constantly struggled to find a routine that makes it look like I at least tried. But that typically involved blow drying then straightening or using a curling wand, which takes too long, so I normally just air dry with “meh” results. NO MORE! This thing gives me exactly the soft smooth hair I love after the salon, with minimal effort. The picture is from the first time I used it, and I’m not naturally skilled with hair tools. I highly recommend this, especially for people like me with frizzy or that in between curly-wavy-straight hair. Now I can trick the general public into thinking I’m an adult who knows what I’m doing with my hair! Game. Changer.

I have found the holy Grail of drying/stylers! I have thick, long, color treated hair. It takes FOREVER to dry naturally and a long time to dry with a hairdryer. It is naturally wavy a little frizzy and a lot poofy.
I have used a number of similar products in the past but this one surpasses them all. I find with these types of dryers they don't get hot enough to do a great job, they do just an ok job. The temp on this is hot! So hot that I scalded my thumb, on my hair. Which wasn’t pleasant but it meant I found a dryer finally hot enough! I used it on high but there are low and cool settings as well.
The bristles on this are harder and the oblong barrel allows you to get closer to the scalp and pulls it in an upwards motion because of its shape so you get the volume you’re looking for.
I dried my hair with the blow dryer haphazardly until it was damp, not soaking wet, I feel like using it with soaking hair would take me too long. Drying it a little first, this blow out took me MAYBE 10-15 min total.
Some people complained that it’s too huge to hold. I had zero problems with that. I rarely needed 2 hands and if I did it was to hold the tip for a second to do a curl on the end. Are freakishly small handed people complaining about that?
Overall I can’t rave enough about this, it was worth every penny and if it breaks I will buy another in a heartbeat.

I was very skeptical of whether this product would work as advertised. I have naturally curly and frizzy hair. I have had to straighten my hair my whole life cause I don’t have the “pretty” curl. Mine just frizzes out of control. I’ve even had the permanent straighteners done, but those wash/grow out after time as well. However, I took a leap of faith and bought it (my mom also recommended it). Tonight was the first night using it and I’m here to tell you that I was thoroughly impressed with the way it made my hair feel, the amount (lack there of) time it took to dry and straighten my hair all in one step. Plus, it didn’t make my hair feel “heavy” like the flat iron does. I would highly recommend this product to anyone that battles with the curl and frizz. It’s a One step wonder!!!
I did let my hair dry in a towel for about 10-15 min and then just towel dried a little, put some heat cream on and sectioned it off to dry. It works amazingly.

Okay this may be lengthy but only because I am in love with this tool! You’ve been warned!
So, my hair is thick - I have a lot of it and it is of a thick texture. Naturally I have a ton of volume which is why I go for a layered haircut. And with layered hair styles the best method of styling is via blowout. I’ve done the whole hair dryer and round brush method like the stylists do and it’s fine but it’s just not efficient to do every time I’ve washed my hair (and that’s not everyday). So most days I’ll let my hair be it’s normal (not straight) self like you see in the before picture.
To the rescue comes this hairdryer! I have seen ads on Facebook for this product and was always weary to buy from not so familiar sites. I hoped Amazon would carry a well known brand someday, and they finally have with this by Revlon. I actually owned a similar but older tool from Revlon which was supposed to achieve the same outcome. But the barrel was round and skinny, which was probably a design flaw and why they came up with this godsend.
I gave this baby a go last night. I used the low setting and my hair was very wet - just out of the shower. Obviously with the low setting and my hair being very wet it wouldn’t work as quickly or as effectively. I take it also my hair texture and thickness attributed to this. But still, not bad for the first try. Took about 20 mins which compared to blow drying and then flat ironing was still quicker.
I tried it again earlier tonight after washing my hair. This time, I let my hair air dry about 15-20 mins or so whilst I did other things around the house. Decided to try it and this time on the high setting. Voila! Hair done in less than 10 mins, with blow out quality and everything! Amazing!
The other thing that’s great is I can always do a quick touch up for the next day - just spray some water on my hair to slightly dampen and style. GOODBYE FLAT IRON AND BLOW DRYER, it was nice knowing you!

I have thick, coarse hair. The picture I have posted is the first time I ever used this. I was thrilled. My hair dried in half the time. It came out beautifully straight with body. My only criticism of this is the temperature control. The high/hot setting is REALLY hot. I fear if you don’t keep it moving, it would burn your hair. I’m constantly switching from that setting to air only, no heat. I wish there was a setting that had high blowing with medium heat. That being said, this is my go to dryer. I have given up on the numerous round brushes with a blow dryer. SO MUCH easier to use, with better results. It’s also much easier to pack when you travel. You won’t be sorry. For people with at least medium length hair however. Don’t think it would work with short hair — very thick barrel.

First of all I have 3A/3B curls (i included a pic.) I watched a LOT of reviews on YouTube for this product before i committed to buying it because that's always smart to do when you dont want to waste money. But omg my results came out better than all the reviews i saw with the girls that had similar hair to mine! The trick is to keep rolling it a few times before you let the strand go... Just like the stylist do when they blow dry your hair at salons with the large rolling brush. I was able to straighten my hair in 45mins on my first time & i could probably do it in less time next time because now i know how to use it. I was worried about my roots not getting straightened like in some of the reviews i saw but nope my roots came out perfect! The trick to that is to hold it at the roots for a few seconds.
After a strand is straight & completely dry ill switch it to cool & pass it thru another time. If you want your ends straight & not flipped you'll need a flat iron but i prefer them flipped anyways. Only minor cons i found is that its easy to burn your hands by accidentally touching the blower. Also your wrist/hands will get tired & be a little sore. Still worth it tho lol. Oh ive also somehow manage to turn the switch accidentally a few times while using it. My hair is amazingly soft and super shiny. The biggest pro for me is that itll only take me 10mins to refreshen my hair every day after that first day! Best styling product ever!

I am honestly impressed, and that takes a lot!
I have super curly, thick, often frizzy hair (thanks Dad!) that is about halfway down my back. This cut my dry/style time down well below half of what it takes with a regular blow dryer and round brush. And best of all my hair looks like I spent a ton of time/money on it. Sleek, shiny, and not at all frizzy.
I am by no means a hair professional, but I have fairly wide range of high end styling tools at home. This is by far my new favorite. It is much easier to handle/manage than styling with a round brush and dryer.
PROS: easy to use, quick, manages unruly hair with ease, beginner friendly, great for thick/curly hair.
CONS: it’s much heavier and louder than the pro-level dryer I’m used to. However, it’s by no means a deal breaker since it cuts dry/style time significantly. It takes some getting used to (after the first time I got the hang of it) because you aren’t juggling a brush and the dryer.
ALSO! I’ve seen many people get the paddle brush version of this and aren’t as satisfied. DEFINITELY make sure you’re getting the dryer/volumizer/round brush style version of this!
Overall, this has revolutionized my hair-game. Instead of only doing an at home blowout when I have time (like 45-60minutes) I can now use this every time I wash my hair. Amazing.
HIGHLY recommended to anyone who loves the look of a blowout but doesn’t want to devote the time to one!

Not big into leaving reviews but this blow dryer deserves my post and hopefuy I can help a busy mom out there find the one styling tool she can live with. I was so nervous about using this dryer on my frizzy curls but I was soooo pleasantly surprised. The blow dry time for my curls went from 35-40 mins to about 20. I had to get used to turning the dryer on while holding the section of hair I was about to dry next, but once I got that figured out, it was smooth sailing, literally. I have enough flip at the ends and just enough volume without it being too much. The texture is smooth and frizz free and it's not over dry as it can be with some heat tools. I would normally blow dry and then flat iron my hair because the blow dryer alone would not smooth out my frizz enough and the south Florida humidity would make my hair puff up nasty the minute I stepped out of my house. I'm on Day 2 of using this blow dryer and I didn't follow it up with the flatiron and I love the bounce and smoothness. I might have just found the best drying product in the world for my Hispanic frizzy curls. And I've stored my flatiron away for now, until I want stick straight hair again. My coworker has this dryer too and her hair is longer than mine, well she has beautiful big waves and smooth, no frizz hair. Oh and we've used this on a 4 year old with thin wavy hair and on a 6 year old with thick, course frizzy curls and both had great drying time and results. I would recommend 100%.

I have 4 kids (so not a lot of time) and like 7 people’s worth of stubbornly wavy/curly and long hair on my head. It’s a giant pain in the ass and takes a lot of time. Except today when I tried this! Unbelievable easy and I didn’t even have to go back over it with a flat iron! Dry in record time and looks naturally straight! (None of those odd bumps) I can’t wait to dry my girls hair after a nighttime bath too. I almost never write reviews but thanks to this magical thing I had the time!

For background: I do not have hairstyling experience, neither have I blown dried my hair, and my hair looks like I went to the hair salon. Like many people I read the comments before buying, however after trying it, the comments honestly don’t give this product enough justice. I have curly hair and I’ve seen professional mess up when blow drying my hair, but with this product I was shocked! I wish I took a before picture but I added one with my curly hair for comparison.
