My life was perpetually altered when I tried the original RevAir. This monstrously massive vacuum-like hair tool is the way forward for blowouts. You part your moist or damp hair and feed it into the hose, wait 30 to 90 seconds, and then take away your hair to disclose stretched-out, straight, dry locks. It’s magical. Now, RevAir has an up to date model with a better price ticket, however nearly anybody can recognize the small enhancements.
It’s referred to as a reverse dryer, as a result of as an alternative of sizzling air blowing out in your hair, it pushes down towards the hose within the route of the hair cuticle, decreasing frizz. Tiny holes across the opening of the wand direct air to the scalp, however it feels cool in your head. As scary because it seems, the wand will not eat your hair.
Sized Down
The most vital replace to the RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer is its dimension. It’s made up of a hose, wand, and base, however the previous base was 10 x 9.5 x 9 inches—RevAir has shrunken it right down to 7.78 x 7.95 x 7.26 inches. That won’t learn as a lot of a distinction, however my husband and I each gasped once we opened the field. The hose can be thinner and shorter. I do not assume the RevAir will ever be small, however my toilet countertop positive appreciates these modifications.
It not solely takes up much less house, however the dryer can be lighter and simpler to make use of—dare I say one thing it’s possible you’ll even contemplate touring with for those who do not thoughts the 8-pound weight. There’s a Total Package version for $70 more that provides a tote bag and a bunch of different equipment, like a hair towel, comb, spray bottle, clips, plus a further filter and foam liners.
Other upgrades embody a brand new removable wand relaxation that slips proper below the deal with, a small digital display screen for rigidity as an alternative of a dial, and a small redesign that ditches the intense blue accents for matte black styling, delivering a extra modern and skilled look. The firm says the machine can be now quiet sufficient which you could have conversations whereas utilizing it. I did not discover that utterly correct; it is not overbearingly loud, however it nonetheless appears like some other hair dryer.

As with the unique, your outcomes will fluctuate relying in your hair sort, and you might have to attempt just a few completely different strategies earlier than you grasp the RevAir. My curls aren’t tremendous tight, however my hair is thick and coarse, and an all-around ache to take care of. My outcomes have been straighter after I had damp hair as an alternative of soaking moist hair, and I stored my hair within the wand between 45 and 60 seconds. Clean hair works higher than days-old curls, and oils are finest used after utilizing the dryer.
You get the identical settings: seven rigidity ranges and two warmth settings—158 and 220 levels Fahrenheit—plus chilly. When I straighten my hair, I usually want to make use of a flat iron at warmth settings between 420 and 450 levels, however going so sizzling may be damaging to hair. I like that this is not a lot of a problem on the RevAir. Unlike a blowout with a spherical brush that usually requires a complete lot of pulling, this vac-like system can be painless.
Even on the identical settings, I seen the brand new mannequin saved me just a few extra minutes over the unique, although I nonetheless often wanted one other flat iron to easy out a number of the unavoidable puffiness. If your hair is already easy, you’ll be able to most likely skip this step.
