At last, something made for people who don’t love spending hours on their hair! I’d definitely fit into the category of keeping it as quick and simple as possible.
I think you could say that the Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer And Styler is really for those who have hair that doesn’t quite allow for air-drying, but neither does it require a great deal of styling. Perfect for natural looking hair, and thick hair in particular.
A hot air flow (two settings and a cool finish setting) allows you to brush and dry and the same time with a paddle brush. The wide setting of the bristles means that it glides through your hair, but because they’ve also got a detangle element, there aren’t any tugs or snags.
When I tried this out, I was worried that it would be heavy – I’m used to a very lightweight hairdryer and an aching arm just compounds the whole can’t-be-bothered feeling! But, this is pretty lightweight and couldn’t be simpler to use. The head is cushioned, which is definitely a plus because a rigid head is really uncomfortable.
I still used a clip to layer dry, but only sectioned to one layer. I like to use a straightener after a blow dry which I suppose is the sum of any ‘styling’ that I do and of course, my hair straightened out just as normal afterwards. It’s got ionic technology which I find hard to get my head around – you can’t see it – but I genuinely think my hair felt especially soft after using the styler. There’s no doubt that it’s extremely helpful to have a brush/dryer combo – no putting your brush down every two seconds or managing two tools at once.
I’d suggest that this tool is best for thick, straight or lightly wavy hair, short or long, that likes volume – I think you will literally breeze through your blow dry if that’s your hair type. On my hair it was volumizing – it’s not a straightening treatment (although obviously, it’s optional afterwards) – and the major bonus is that the process is quicker because you are doing continuous brushing and drying at the same time.
The Revlon Salon One-Step Hair Dryer And Styler is good for time-saving, cutting drying and styling time in approximately half – a late for school/work/life product because it is so quick, or lazy weekend hair that needs softness and shine but no complicated styling.
The Revlon One Step Hair Dryer and Styler is available from Boots.com and is £49.99 HERE.

Jane – do you think this might be a good first hairdryer for a little girl who’s keen to dry her own long, very thick hair but isn’t strong enough for a big hair dryer and brush?
I do to be honest: I don’t need to tell you that I have to say ‘with parental supervision’ for obvious reasons, but make sure she sections it first.
