Battle of the blow dryers! Lol
In this video I got to do a comparison of my OG blow dryer the Revlon One-Step vs the New RevAir. Which one do you think is better for natural hair?
Hope you enjoy!

Rev Air all the way. I have the new version. Soooooo glad I am no longer air drying over night. My hair was event is now 2 1/2 hours instead of 2+ days. Yanking a hot blow dryer or even warm blow drying through my hair is a thing of the past. And the shedding involved in the processed has decreased at least 80%. The desired stretching effect of the Rev Air is something that cannot be denied. No more broken-sticking-up-flyaway hairs sitting on my head from pulling the blow dryer through it. I am so happy to have spent $400 on my dryer. I only do my hair (myself) once every 3-4 weeks. I want to do it more now that I have the Rev air, makes the experience much more pleasant.
Yes! I feel the same. It’s a game changer and totally worth the investment. The more I use it, the more I love it lol.
I agree with everything you said. I have the first version, about to upgrade soon.
Lol Idk if I’m supposed to be commenting but you got me hyped I’m about to buy one now thanks for that ❤😅 I like looking good to for my lady but I’m def motivated to get this now
Sold! They need to pay you! 😂
@@heruyoung3828for real…me too!
As a stylist, I can personally tell you that sometimes those brushes with the balls at the ends are actually snagging your hair and breaking it. It’s not the best for curly hair. Those types of brushes are designed for more relaxed textures.
Thanks for this perspective
yes. that revlon blowdryer sucks on my 4c hair. nothing works better than a good old brush and blowdryer.
Do you have any suggestions for a better blow dryer?
@@DeeDee-lr8nbThe Dyson is AWESOME 👌🏾
@@tpbecks6137 The price is not awesome though 😢 But I might get it if It's worth it. The thing I want to know is if the comb attachment is secured. I mean the comb attachments of my blow dryer keeps falling which is annoying
The Revlon brakes my hair like crazy , I just got a Revair it’s a game changer i am experiencing no breakage great investment ever! No comparison
Imma stick with my Revlon. Works like a charm. I cant even fathom $400 on a blow dryer.
Me too! Madness. I experience fantastic results with my Revlon, no snags or puffiness. I hate it when people fault the tool and not their technique. Naptural85 did this and she retracted her original review.
Lmao yup.
As many times as I’ve seen this dryer i never even knew it costs this much. No one mentions the price 😭🤨
It's worth it. No heat damage.
I have the Revlon. After using it monthly for a year, I noticed my hair was thinning. I blame those little balls on the ends of the brush bristles (likely) snagging my strands, because I would never in my right mind pick up a paddle brush with balls at the ends of the bristles to use on my actual natural hair. I may just have to cave and get that Revair
Any type of brush with the balls on the ends will snag curly hair. I keep trying to tell people this, especially my clients.
I’m ready for deman to partner with a blow dryer company.
Your hair has to be damp to not snag
@@breanna886Here in the U.K. I’ve never seen a black that uses that. We always thought it’s for white peoples hair. I’m Surprised to see African Americans use it . Thanks For the comment, as I was about to purchase one cos I thought I was missing something 😅
Go ahead and make that switch girl. 4 years later still in love w my revair
I just bought the Revlon round brush dryer. I love it. My hair was stretched but extremely soft which I’ve never experienced with a blow dryer. Idc how much people say the revair is worth it. $400 is extremely high. At the end of the day it’s applying heat to the hair which can cause damage. I would say it would be worth it if it was between $200 and $250. I also think us curly kinky girls are using the revlon brushes wrong. We should not be raking it through each section of our hair 10 times. It should be placed on the hair and left to dry the hair with minimal tension then raked through one or two times to get the remaining kinks out.
Thank you so much!!! I have the Revlon dryer and was doing exactly what you said. I put a little bit of leave in and then spray heat pretactant before is this also wrong??? Please let me know
@@FJ-no3ir I don’t think that’s wrong. What may be better is using a blow out cream. It’s basically a leave in that is a heat protectant. It may be a better option because the oils in leave ins may not be able to withstand the heat and could burn. I use the creme of nature blow out cream. It’s a staple in my routine.
For an accurate side by side comparison both sides of the head need to have an equal time after washing/conditioning. Just rewetting isn’t the same.
It seems like your hair is longer or more stretched with the Rev hair than with the blow dryer brush
because i just can’t afford the RevAir , or expensive wigs, i‘d just go with the Revlon 😢. Thanks for your review ❤
I want thar Rev air dryer so bad. Im about to start selling off my possessions lol
I love the Revlon results. I will wait for a Revair dupe. I can't pay $400.
Hahaha let us know when the duos comes out 😅
You don't think it would be more than $400?
They'll never be a dupe
“Don’t sacrifice the health of your hair for the price of the tool” girl you said it. I will pay whatever amount is needed to maintain my healthy curls. Heat damage is no joke and in my experience its not worth the time to grow and recover after damage.
Thank you for this video!! 🙌 I have the brush one and needed to see the side by side. Perfection! 👌 I have 5 girls and needed to see if it'd be worth it. Much love💚
I have a RevAir and it works well. It did notice if you use a leave in or anything other than heat protectant, you’re hair will be poofy. I like the RevAir side.
What heat protectant do you use?
I swear by the revair. I’m relaxed and it get my rooms completely straight with less tension than a blow dry brush. I had a 0% intrest for 18 months with amex so I used my card for it. I love to see which products people are using
Only swear to God*❤
Queen🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾❤❤❤. Thank you for your Tutorial, now I can make a inform decision!
Great video. Thank you. Remember to always use a heat protectant before blow drying to prevent getting heat damage hair.
I had to purchase the RevAir after seeing your result. Thanks!!!!
Im starting to love my natural hair just watching this video i love our type of hair it can look short and can be long thanks for showing us the dryers
I love my revair and use it most wash days. I bough the revlon but returned it because it absolutely pulled at my hair. You can get a smoother finish at tension 4 and high heat for a shorter period of time (like 1 min per section). The high setting is lower than regular bow dryer low setting. Give it a try. I do notice something on you that I've been suspecting, which is that the revair side is more dry looking. I'm sure both sides are actually dry, but the blown out side doesn't look as dry. I find the revair over dries my hair, so am planning to experiment with only getting my hair 75% dry with it next time, then using a regular blow dryer and paddle brush to finish it off and dry the roots especially. I think that may give me the best of both worlds, no combing/brushing through it as I stretch it, but using the blowout method to finish the drying with more luster. Wish me luck!
Excellent review! I guess I’ll be buying this for my daughter. Thank you for posting.
You and your hair are so beautiful! Great video!
You have really nice hair. Revair side is definitely better. It looks more hydrated too. I love my Revair. I use it on the regular.
The Revlon air. Thank you for the video cant wait to try it.
Thanks for getting right to it. This was helpful.
Thank you for your review. I could see the results easily, and I love your quiet, calm tone of voice. It was very soothing, too. What I loved the most was how fully and easily the RevAir stretched your hair! I, too, just bought the RevAir and will try it out this weekend after I take out my faux locs. My hair is mostly 4C and it's about your length but only after a heavy blow dry and flat iron, which results in a lot of shedding and sweating and frustration!!! 😂 It's really become too hard for me to blow dry it evenly at this length so I'm praying the RevAir will come through for me. Thanks for a FAB tutorial! 😊
Yesss! I hope it works great for you. Enjoy 🤗
Hi, do you mind sharing how it went?
Not much difference for such a huge price difference but I can imagine the revair is much faster
I only blow out my hair for trims, but I'll definitely purchase the RevAir soon!!!
1st of all, your hair is amazing! I blow dry my hair every wash day and there’s no comparison in my opinion. I’ve retained so much length over the past year using my Revair….it’s amazing! I purchased the Revlon unit when it 1st dropped and I didn’t like it at all, a few of the bristles came off, too much friction and I never felt like my roots got straight enough. To each his/her own but my hair is worth the investment. Thank you for sharing!❤❤❤
Thank you for this review! I’ve been wrestling with these machines! ❤😂
You and your hair are gorgeous, Terran! We're so happy to hear you are loving your RevAir ❤
It’s an amazing tool! I can’t wait to use it for future hairstyles 💗
I don’t understand how it’s been 5 years since this has been launched yet you haven’t figured out how to make it compatible to European countries. It’s like you only cater to your US customers and it’s a shame because you could make a lot more customers and money.
@@zazilicious We have big dreams to ship internationally, but we're not quite there yet! We thank you for your patience and passion for our product ❤
@@myrevair I have friends in the US so shipping isn’t an issue but it has been reported that it’s not compatible with any other plugs…
@@zazilicious You are correct. The current RevAir model available will only work in a 120V/60hz 15amp outlet and will not operate with the use of a converter, adaptor, or transformer. We're so sorry to disappoint!
there is also a huge difference in your roots! the revlon had it a little poofier/volumized vs the revair completely flattened that out I loved that .
I have both finally broke down bought Revair dryer and have had Revlon dryer for a long time the only thing that I like more about Revair is I don't get hot while dying my hair and hair is blown all over my floor and counter during drying process and it's faster at drying hair both are great.
Great review on both. Been a lazy natural for years I would love the revair but cost of living is real ,plus living in Uk so going to try the cheaper version 👍🏽
Thank you sis for your video it help me a lot
I got mine during black friday sale. Worth every penny. No breakage!! Goodbye SSK. improves length retention too I have heard that some people actually dry their hsir in the twists. I am going to try that.
How much was it on Black Friday?
The revair is better for my hair. It is worth the money. It's quicker too. I paid for it in monthly installments.
I have tons and want the other thanks for the comparison
You have beautiful hair from the very beginning and it came out well with the Rev Air but I think if you had used a higher heat setting (I hate to say heat cause you actually don’t feel heat) your hair would have been completely straight. Concentrating on the scalp more would have gotten that straight as well. Also four parting on each side would have helped. One more thing, they call it a hair straightener, not a blow dryer. I love mine but due to arthritis in my hands, it’s not easy. I’m not familiar with the other appliance but you’re correct, they work completely differently.
I have both and I like both depending on my mood and what I wanna do❤
The price point is HIGH …. My hair gets straight with the revlon brush and I will have to continue to use it until I can afford it the $400 one
Just got mine off eBay! Can’t wait to use it!
Bought the revlon hair dryer since its on offer. I think with the right technique and hair prep you could probably avoid snagging and have amazing results. Your hair is beautiful ❤❤ mine isnt as long so hopefully the brush will still wotk out for me
Well, this isn't what I was expecting. A cousin of mine sent me a video of this thing through Facebook. Because my daughter's hair is extremely curly. It takes me about 30 min to add products (coconut oil and detantler) and detangle her hair. By the time I'm done, it's already dry. I thought this was a dryer and automatic detangler. I'm not going to detangle her hair and dry it for $400. Even though her hair is waist long, it still towel and drip dries pretty fast.
The left looks amazing. Less hair brushing is a plus. I’m probably gonna try it. Hopefully they have a return policy. No snags is a plus.
Oh my gosh; why didn’t I find this when my daughters were young?! They had hair down their back and I was sooo overwhelmed🤦🏽♀️. Oh well, they are adults now; guess I will order the Revair and pray my hair grows like theirs did❤️. Your hair looks beautiful and your eyes are amazingly beautiful like you. God bless you and thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much ❤️🌺! And I hope you enjoy the RevAir, it has made doing my hair so much easier and I can imagine for young girls it would also be great. Thanks for watching!
Revair did a Thanksgiving special and gave away a few. I entered and won one (I never win contest). I was excited, but didn’t believe it 100% until it arrived at my house. I got it for my daughter’s hair, but it’s still braided and it’s coming down soon so I can’t wait to try it on her.
That is amazing, I’ve never won a contest either maybe I should enter more stuff lol hope you enjoy!
How did you like it?
I will try to use a regular vaccum and see if it works
Lol
Hey curly hair is beautiful ❤
I love both. But i agree about the setup which makes me reach for my revlon more than my revair at times. But i wanna change tjst because i have 4c hair and that paddle brush is rough lol. I have a 10% off code for revair as well incase folks wanna save a couple coins.
I know it's two months later but if you still have that code?
This was a good review. I am looking for a hair dryer so this has given me some light into what I should be buying. New sub here. Stay connected.
Thank you for subbing! 🤗
Can you try the Shark STYLE iQ AirWave, possible dupe? Im not bothered if it gives beach waves, i just want it stretched. The UK girlies can get the rev air anymore😞
Thank you for this! I'm thinking of getting a Revair, too! I use the same Revlon paddle brush dryer and have found nothing to rival it. However, I use the tool on my two daughters' hair, and they've lost so much hair from using that thing! I like the high heat on it, but it's super high and really, really hot! It's ok for touch-ups, but the initial process leaves them with a ball of hair in the brush! I'm looking into this Revair so they can save some hair during the blow or process! I think it might be worth the investment if it'll give good results without pulling their hair out.
It saves so much time! The more I use it, the more I love it. I even got my mom and fiancée to try it, they both have different hair textures than me and it worked great. It’s really gentle and works on locs and braids ❤️
That’s what I’m concerned about. Hair loss….
@@cb4664 I haven’t had any hair loss using it so far 👌🏾
I would love to buy the rev air so bad, but there is STILL no shipping to europe
Buying it!
Guess imma have to kick out that $400 😂
lol! It’s worthy every penny
I know! Dayum! 😂
Thank for you help! ❤
Happy to help! 🌺
✨️Excellent Review✨️
The revair is slower but the most gentle. I’m patient!
Great review! My concern is how the revair actually works. What if it malfunctions and your gets stuck inside. I love the look of your hair, both sides.
It is a vaccum
That’s my concern
Depends on what look you want. For a more sleek look and elongated then rev air will do. Both looks are beautiful.
I'm still thinking because I don't blow dry often. I'm a real Natural so I don't really wear straight styles. Maybe next year. I have a brush dryer & the results are similar to Revlon brush, it's really all I need. Thank you for sharing this way because you can really see the difference.
Can you do a video on cleaning the revair?
when you started the braid to keep it out the way I just knew your hair was going to be wavy on that side. Do you usually go back over one good time it to re-straighten
or does it just kind of like loosen up to straight over time
thanks for the video
Thank you for the review! I'm leaning towards the Repair. Can you please share what mic you use with this video? It sounds amazing! Please and thank you!
I use the rode mic pro I love it so much! I found it on Amazon.
@@TerranDailey THANK YOU, for sharing that with me! Thank you!
Your hair is so beautiful.
I used to have the exact same Revlon dryer. It worked sooo well but after using it for about two or so years, my hair started thinning and eventually breaking so badly that I had to cut 10 inches to save the rest of my hair. I think the big metal part in between the bristles where the brush bristles are connected to gets extremely hot and eventually leads to thinning from running hair repeatedly over a super hot piece of metal. After you use it, you can touch the metal part to see how hot it gets. It’s unfortunate because it made drying my hair so easy but had i known what would happen, absolutely not
I had my Revlon dryer for years too. Now that I use the Rev-Air I can see how damaging the Revlon is and it gets way too hot.
My husband said the revair looks like a vacuum 😂
I said that too
That's basically what it is
Beautiful. I'm not sure if I missed it in the video but did you only have water on your hair? Did you use any other products like a leave-in conditioner or heat protectant? If so can you tell me the brands that you use
She used nothing.
Thank you 🩷
Beautiful! Did you detangle your hair before blowing it out? If so, how? Fingers?
Yes I did detangle first. I used a tangle teezer.
Many ppl may not know now but the Revlon has been recalled due to it overheating and exploding on some ppl. This is probably the newer versions within the last couple of years. Mine is 7yrs old and I haven't had any problems. Anyone that purchased it within the last year or 2 be very careful and keep an eye on it. There is currently a lawsuit going on.
Yes! Thank you for sharing this, I just watched @naptural85 video on this. I haven’t had any problems with mine either but it is something to be aware of.
I'm tiyad of the Dominican salons charging me $60 to fry my hair ...I got a rev air I'll def update my hair thick thick
rev air dried it longer and less poofy. Good video. You have pretty hair.
revair has works better for me. i can wear stretched styles more often with less worry about damage.
How much is this machine and how can I get it in Rwanda?
Greetings to all. Thank you for sharing the Revlon hair blow drying brush, and comparison with Rev Air products.
Will you try the Dyson air strait?
I definitely want to try the Dyson next
I’ll have to stick with my Revlon as the Revair doesn’t ship international 😕
I agree, Great review but I can't get the product in the UK 😢
Which one is the latest/new version of the RevAir?
How can I get it
wow! guess I'm about to spend that $400. They have mother's day sale right now.
It’s worth the price! Hope you enjoy it.
Yes I just got mine today. It was like$354 with the discount. You don't need the bigger set honestly
@@laydklela9111 I ordered the same! It comes Wednesday and I can’t wait to use it!
@@TheBohodiva How do you like it?
@@cfoster6804 I was shocked at how well it works. I have type 4 hair (I’m West African) and I usually wear natural or protective styles because blow drying it myself feels like a lot of work and also is emotionally exhausting. Still, my stylist suggested I do for a number of reasons and to save myself money I have to do it myself more often. You will get an arm workout, but the whole tugging through your hair (I’m tender headed as they say) and feeling exhausted half way through is gone! It’s worth the money for me.
I think my hair density is 300% of this 😢 and around 4 inches longer but it’s naturally a little straighter than this so I wonder if I’d need to spend longer breaking it into 3x more sections 😢. I’m just gonna be discouraged if the hair doesn’t get straight! There will be no options left!
Your naturally beautiful 😍 I just had to comment that most women not naturally beautiful your beautiful and your hair is beautiful ❤❤
Thank you so much!!
@@TerranDailey 😘
so am i supposed to blowing out my hair on the cool setting? my blow outs are never smooth. i have the revlon but i had to pass it so many times.
I use my revlon on low instead of cool, it makes the process a little faster.
So basically the Revlon is like using an original blow dryer with a paddle brush to stretch it?
I have the 400$ one it does not get the roots that good on thicker hair. It does get it straight but the roots…. Nope lmfaooo
RevAir is giving
I have both… haven’t used the revair yet 😅… I guess I’ll use one or the other based on how i feel at the time.
❤❤
Sold
Looks like I’m treating myself to a RevAir for mothers days 🎉 thank you for your honest review cause baby I’m sold 🫡🫶🏽
Hope you enjoy it!
also, Do you think it would be safe for a toddler, kids hair. I am buying one for myself, but I was thinking I could use it on my nieces. They have 4 c hair and it takes me forever to do their hair. I always use a deep conditioner on wash days, lowest heat setting with dryer with a heat protectant. It is so much easier for me to do twists or braids on them when its blown out. I just can not grip the hair when its really wet. The RevAir would cut my time in half atleast
I’m pretty sure it would be safe, the Rev-Air is super gentle. I would just check the site to make sure. I don’t go over it to re-straighten my hair just does that if I don't braid it with some product in it. I hope it works well for you!
I use it for my 2 year old and 6 year old. It’s so much easier braiding their hair. And it’s so fast to dry even on the low heat setting.
My sister and I are going to literally split the revair cost in half, and both pay for it so we can share. Cuz it looks like its worth it based on the videos I have seen
Yes it is! Everyone in my family uses mine lol it works on all hair types. Hope y’all enjoy.
Basically, that machine is just a vacuum I would go with the Revlon
For $400 it need to detangle your hair for you … you can see the difference because the first side been sitting and braided …like come on now ….should’ve did it at the same time also brushed out your hair while it was wet before you used the $400 one
Seems like a overpriced vacuum
Not liking the rev air. I like the other with the brush
I'm sorry but if you wanted the same 'straight' appearance on the REV AIR side that you have on the REVON side, you have to INCREASE THE HEAT. Let's face it for most NATURALS, we are STILL NOT ACCEPTING of our 4C hair types and the TEXTURE she has on the one side would not be GOOD ENOUGH, so most of us would INCREASE the HEAT. Let us remember that the goal is to STRAIGHTEN the hair as much as possible for a ONE PASS Silk Press or to STRETCH it for OTHER styling applications. What money do YOU have available for those purposes?! $40 is perhaps a Night Out whereas $400 is a UTILITY BILL. One you should SAVE for and the other can neatly be folded into this month's budget. Good FLAT IRONS are cheaper. Decent 'Twist Out' products are cheaper. Too much HEAT can damage your hair, anyway so either one of these products can ULTIMATELY deliver that! Do YOU but do you according to YOUR FUNDS!
The Revelon hand held is horrible! It's perfect as a diffuser. It takes a long time to get your hair straight. I don't recommend it.
