This really threw me for a loop. I NEVER write reviews and I feel as if I needed to write one for this product. I bought this in late May of 2019 and it is now mid November 2019. I’ve had this product for a total of 5 and a 1/2 months. During this time frame, I would say that this product was AMAZING! I have severely curly hair and this styled my hair in about 6 minutes whereas before it would take me 45 mins to dry and style my hair. HOWEVER, this morning I was surprised and shocked. It started working fine, but then mid-styling, it started sparking and then COMPLETELY set ablaze! It was on fire... I had to throw this out IMMEDIATELY. What if it exploded right next to my head? What if my hair caught on fire? What if something worse had happened? I’m completely shocked and disappointed. This WAS a good product until now. I saw the reviews before I bought this, warning about the fire - but thought that there might have been faulty ones. Now I’m convinced that this happens with all of them and it is just not acceptable. Please take this as a WARNING! Do not buy and do not waste your money! Read more

After reading rave reviews of this thing on Buzzfeed and other sites, I debated getting it no less than three times. And by debate, I mean spent over an hour each time reading reviews and looking at review pictures and holding my finger over the "add to cart" button.I'm sorry I did. First off, let me just say that my hair is a jerk. It's an extremely healthy jerk. It's very fine and pin-straight, thick and shiny. No product in this world or the next works on getting it to curl. I've tried every idea out there. I've had professionals try to make it curl. I've tried varying styling products in varying orders for varying amounts of time. Wet or dry. Overnight or high heat. Curled twisted kinked rolled wanded sprayed gelled moussed YOU NAME IT. My hair stays straight.So why did I order this? Well, after a multitude of reviews, I thought that perhaps if my hair dried with a slight curl to the ends, the combo of heat and drying would give it that blowout look that so many others are bragging about. That would be an improvement on the stick-straight look I rock day to day and I would finally have one small styling victory. I got this on a black friday sale, because adventure should not break the bank. I watched the youtube tutorials on using it. Many of them. I read the success reviews with the smiling pictures. I was prepared when the box finally arrived.But no, I wasn't prepared at all. This product was terrible for my hair. First of all, my hair did not gain any sort of volume on the ends at all. None. My hair flipped away from the roller and dried flat. I held it down into a nice curl shape. Steam wafted off the dryer. The hair still dried flat. Volume on the crown, perhaps? No, blow drying my hair upside down works better than this, my hair has almost zero volume on top when I use this. All my fine baby-hairs get blasted every which way, resulting in that fluffy chicken look.Is there a redeeming quality? Believe me, no one wants to think that they let money fly out the window, I wanted desperately to use this for *something*. Even as a normal blow dryer. But no sir, that won't even work, because this product does something to my hair that makes it dry and tangled at the ends. I don't know what, it's like the boar bristles suck the moisture out of my hair and suddenly my hair that I have never even needed to brush before is a sticky tangled mess on the bottom.Pretty bummed. I had high hopes. I've tried again and again, thinking that perhaps I just needed practice. No, I don't need practice, I need a miracle. For the time being, my hair will remain straighter than ever. For those of you who are foolish enough to wonder how to get your hair this healthy, let me bestow my curse upon you: I only wash it once every two days and make sure to condition the roots and ends liberally with "strengthening" conditioner. And now there is no hope.For all others who call this product a miracle: I am truly glad for you. May your hairdays always be great. Read more

I bought the revlon dryer brush and the tres semme dryer brush. The photos show the size difference, it's not clear but the revlon brush and similar no name brand models are oblong, with long flat sides (about 3") and curves on the edges. I was totally surprised by how big it was and that it wasn't round. It is too big for my bangs but ok for the sides. It straightens very well and dries in a few minutes and I have thick hair that is usually wavy and frizzes and flips up. My hair hasn't flipped at all, and little frizz even on a rainy day. I ended up buying the tresemme brush in order to try to get some lift with my bangs and shorter parts of my hair. The tresemme only has short plastic bristles that aren't holding my thick hair on the brush as well, but it is giving some lift and a bit more curl on the ends. The drying power is not as strong so it takes longer to dry with the tresemme. The dryer brush is a lot easier to use than a flat iron, and doesn't leave any edge marks like the flat iron, it looks shiny and more natural. Wish I had tried this 20 years ago. Both have low, high, and cool settings. The revlon is a handful to hold but it dries fast. Neither brush spins on it's own, and I'm glad about that as I don't want my hair getting tangled. The revlon brush has a mixture of longer plastic bristles and shorter natural bristles-- which does pull a little hair out as you self spin (nothing that I can feel) the brush which you can see in the photo. Anyway, I'm using a combo, using the revlon to straighten the longer hair and the tresemme for the shorter hair to get some lift and large curl. If you have a stacked cut or shorter cut the tresemme is probably the best size brush if you only want one. You might want to dry it a little bit then use it to style. The cords spin on both so they don't get twisted up. They both get pretty hot on high so try no to touch the center and keep rotating the brush so you don't burn your hair, try the lower setting if it's a problem. The revlon brush is definitely better for longer hair. Read more

Ok so I'm late to the party on this one right here. As a black woman I was skeptical about the ability of this dryer to straighten my hair. Also Revlon is NOT my go to as a licensed cosmetologist for tools either. Well baybay, I'm in love. I needed something more ergonomic because my hands are weak and holding a pistol style dryer to do my own hair is just no longer practical. I highly recommend this dryer to anyone looking for an alternative to a regular blow dryer. Oh and yes it definitely gets hot enough to get the job done. Read more
