Sèche-Cheveux Volumisant Revlon Salon One-Step, Technologie IONIQUE et CÉRAMIQUE, BROSSE OVAL, Cheveux Longs et Mi-Longs, RVDR5222,

Acheter comme un cadeau pour ma copine, elle s’attendait à un effet plus brushing. Le produit est bien mais très grand, peu utilisé si on veut voyager avec. Dans l’ensemble le produit est bien mais sans plus.

He comprado por la segunda vez para regalar a mi hermana. Lo problema es que esto no es Revlon!!! Es una imitacion! Pela primeira vez, no estoy contenta con mi pedido. Necesito de una explicacion

Just in the last two years alone, I have bought and returned 8 hairdryers including the Dyson dryer! I’ve also tried T3 Featherweight, a CHI dryer, BaByliss Pro Ferrari Volare, one that was 2000 watts and many more. Before purchasing this Revlon dryer my go to was called Inferno. I’ve also purchased every hair gadget ever invented!

Scroll way to the bottom to see my updates.

In my never-ending quest to reduce drying time with a bonus being able to eliminate my flat iron (which I honestly thought would never happen as I’m no newbie to hair products), I researched and purchase Revlon’s One Step Hair Dryer. Holy Smokes!!! I love it!

Here’s my review after one week of using.

Why it’s so great:
– I can go from sopping wet to fully styled, with no flat iron in 12 minutes! (was 30 before)
– Powerful wind (shockingly), so it dries your hair while you style it
– Has 3 settings, cool, low and high (and the settings are at the bottom of the handle so you won’t accidentally change or turn it off-and the high is great, not scalding hot like some dryers)
– Oval brush, this is the INGENIOUS part of this design!!! The brush also has shorter bristles that grab your hair and works JUST LIKE having your hair blown out at the salon (I showed my friend who is a stylist and said this product would put him out of business if his clients knew about it). It grips and puts tension while drying so yes, it’s about the size of a paddle brush with oval sides, and curling is likely not an option.
– Grabs even shorter hairs. Many reviews said it wasn’t good for shorter hair so I was surprised with my results. The back of my hair is just above the nape of my neck, so the shortest hairs could be maybe 2” long AND, I’m using it on my bangs!
– I don’t have to use a flat iron any more and I look like I walked out of the salon
– On the days when I don’t wash my hair, I’ve been use a spray bottle to mist my hair, and take a quick 3-5 minutes with the dryer and again, salon like quality, no flat iron, not even on my bangs! (see picture attached)
– Lightweight, but a word of caution, the handle is a bit bulky. If you have tiny hands or problems with your hands it could be an issue
– Adds volume! I’m not using any volume product before or after styling. As someone with thick hair you would think volume wouldn’t be an issue, however thick hair is also heavy hair.

I’m hoping to see a huge improvement in the health of my hair and reduction of split ends as a result of this dryer and no flat iron over the next few months.

More About My Hair (should it be of interest)

I have thick hair, not curly, not straight. Shoulder length in the front shorter in the back (like pretty short and barely pony tail possible), Lob style. If I didn’t style my hair in the morning or after blow drying, it would be a mess. (like what your hair probably looked like when you were 8 years old and just got out of bed kind of hair.) I even have a pretty cool contraption that suction-cups to my mirror, holding my traditional hair dryer so I could dry using both hands. I could never leave my hair wet or even damp, because it would never dry. I can’t go to bed with wet hair as it’s still really wet in the morning. Again, thick hair.

It would take on average 15-20 minutes to just dry my hair. (at the salon, the stylist books an extra 15 minutes for me) Then a flat iron or curling iron because my motto before this dryer was ‘if you want good hair you need hot tools and that’s the price you pay for good hair. » And I was willing to pay the price!

Needless to say, I had to carve out time to wash my hair. It was a big production, so to the flat iron I would go in between washes, with massive split ends being created every day.

I’ve attached a selfie taken just this morning of my 2nd day hair. I used a spray bottle this morning, misted and dried. That volume – yeah, that was NEVER there with a flat iron!

March 7, 2019 Update: Still loving this hair dryer!!! Everything I said above still stands and my hair is much healthier. I have recommended this to many friends and family and they have also found the same to be true. I always have a backup one in box just in case as I can’t be without it! In the past year I have bought 4 back ups because each time I talk with a friend/family member about this dryer, they want one right away so I sell them mine then buy a new back up for myself LOL! The second picture I posted is my hair almost one year later, March 7, 2019 and I’m due for my cut in 2 days.

IMPORTANT TIPS: I neglected to mention that if you’d like to prolong the life of your hairdrier see if you can find a way to hang it. Because it’s a hairbrush essentially laying it on its side (on the bristles) with the added weight of the dryer I’d recommend hanging this. What I do is fold up the cord in about 6″ lengths, wrap a secure tie or clamp around it and hang it by a loop in the cord in my closet on a hook I use for belts. Also, every once in a while you should also clean or make sure they air flow screen near the bottom of the handle is free of dust, lint, etc. You know, the stuff that blocks your hairdryer and clothes dryer. Keeping this clean (for both LOL) allows your appliance to work more efficiently.

August 12, 2020 – another update! If you’re wondering if I still love this product… I DO! I’ve posted another picture, so now there’s 2018, 2019 and 2020. Earlier this year I bought the Dyson Airwrap which I absolutely love for curls (it’s worth it for the curls alone), straight up drying, or pre-drying, for that it’s outstanding. At first I thought, ok, I’m not going to need my Revlon One-Step anymore (after having declared my love publicly for it) and tried for 3 months using the Dyson exclusively with round brush attachment, the flat brush and even bought the smaller flat brush attachments, and you know what?! When I do my straight hair style, I’m still using the REVLON! The reason the Revlon for creating straight hair outshines the Dyson, is because of their brush design, and the second layer of bristles. It grabs the hair AND creates tension. Without the tension there’s no way to remove those bumps and kinks that my hair wants to create. So, this is still on the top of my list!

J’ai les cheveux long, épais et bouclés. Avec cette énorme brosse, je réalise un brushing en 15 minutes pour mon plus grand bonheur. Fini la babyliss avec ses brosses qui fondait tous les deux mois. La Revlon parait être de meilleure qualité. A voir dans le temps.

J’ai les cheveux fins (voire très fins), aux épaules , plats et qui frisottent beaucoup. Je n’ai JAMAIS réussi à me faire un brushing avec une brosse et un sèche cheveux. J’ai deux mins gauches.
J’ai hésité avant de prendre cette brosse car certains avis disaient qu’elle était beaucoup trop grosse. Personnellement je ne trouve pas du tout. Elle fait un brushing GÉNIAL . Elle décolle les racines et offre un très beau volume. Elle sèche les cheveux très rapidement. Pour moi il n’y a aucun point négatif! N’hesitez Pas!

J’avais longuement hésité à acheter cet appareil et, après avoir visionné de nombreuses vidéos test sur YouTube, je me suis lancée.
Mes cheveux sont épais et frisés, type 3c. J’avais un carré court quand j’ai reçu le One-Step et ils sont actuellement longs jusqu’aux épaules.

Au premier abord, l’appareil est assez imposant mais moins lourd que ce que je craignais. Il faut prendre le coup de main mais c’est finalement plus simple que si l’on utilisait une brosse et un sèche-cheveux. J’arrive à dompter ma tignasse et la rendre souple et disciplinée, notamment grâce aux poils de sanglier qui lissent la fibre. Le résultat n’est pas exactement comme chez le coiffeur car je ne suis pas assez patiente et surtout je n’ai pas encore une technique au top, mais j’y travaille…

Au final, je ne regrette pas du tout mon achat car, même si mes cheveux ne finissent pas raides comme des baguettes, le rendu est superbe sur les cheveux courts et mi-longs (beaucoup de volume et de mouvement).

Point négatif : le bruit à pleine puissance est vraiment très fort.
