The Revlon One Step makes home hair styling cheap and easy, and it's only $30
Good hot tools make a world of difference when it comes to styling your hair. The best ones help you get out the door with a full blowout in minutes while also saving your hair from unwanted heat damage and breakage. That said, some can cost you hundreds of dollars. Luckily, the Revlon One-Step Volumizer does an equally good job without sending you into debt. Plus, it's more affordable than ever during the Amazon Summer Beauty Event. Follow our WhatsApp channel on mobile for more shopping content from the Reviews Team It may be hard to believe that the Revlon One-Step boasts similar quality to popular styling tools like the Dyson Airwrap, which cost hundreds of dollars more. But we've tried it for ourselves and were impressed. "I'm not the type of person to spend very much on my hair, so when I heard about a Dyson Airwrap dupe that costs less than $50, I was sold," says Sarah Saril, deals and how-to-watch editor on the Reviews Team. "Of course, at hundreds of dollars less, the Revlon One-Step isn't nearly as feature-packed or smoothly designed as the Dyson users compare it to. It is, however, a versatile, all-in-one tool that gives me a salon-worthy blowout in minutes. I can't recommend it enough, especially with this ongoing discount." The One-Step features three speeds and heat settings, plus a cool shot feature, allowing you to control how much heat you're using on your hair, though you'll still need to use a heat protectant, of course. The oval brush design is easy to hold and perfect for smoothing down hair while also lifting the roots and adding volume. But it's the price that's really hard to beat. "It's not the best deal we've ever seen—this tool specifically can hit some very low prices during the holidays. Regardless, it's still a worthwhile deal, especially since promotions for it have been few and far between in recent years," Saril explains. With nearly 400,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers can't get enough of the One-Step either. "I've been using this for four years, and it has completely transformed my hair routine! If you're tired of juggling a brush and a blow dryer, this all-in-one tool is an absolute game changer," said one reviewer. "After four years of regular use, the volumizer is still going strong. It has maintained its performance, and I'm genuinely impressed by its durability…My hair looks smoother and has significantly less frizz compared to using a standard blow dryer." Shoppers love how well it works for different hair types. "My mom, daughter, and I all have one…My mom and daughter have very thick hair, and mine is thinner. My daughter and I have tons of natural curl. We all used to take an hour blow drying and styling, but this tool cut our time in half," said another reviewer. "We have all experienced our best hair days since using it…The brush doesn't tangle in your hair so you can really get in and create volume. It's a fairly light tool and tons easier than managing a round bush and blow dryer." With the current Summer Beauty Event discount on Amazon, the Revlon One-Step is 27% off.

Revlon's One-Step Volumizer Plus Packs an Impressive Blowout for Cheap
A blow-dry brush has become my holy grail hair styling device. Maybe you've heard the term, or one of its synonyms like heated brush, thermal brush, or blowout brush. These aren't all the same thing—blow-dry brushes blow out hot hair, acting as both a blow dryer and a brush, while thermal or heated brushes are brushes with a heated surface, creating a twist on a curling or straightening iron. My hair begs to be either diffused or blow-dried after a shower, and I rarely have time to blow-dry and style my hair with two separate devices—the single blow-dry brush has become a hair routine hero. Some of the most popular models in the world of blow-dry brushes include the Dyson Airwrap (8/10, WIRED Recommends), the Drybar Double Shot, and BondiBoost Blowout Brush, along with the reason we're here today: the famed Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus. The One-Step blow-dry brush originally launched in 2016, and the Plus is the most updated version, arriving in 2021. It's often touted as a much more affordable option in a field of pricey blow-dry brushes and hair tools, especially since its price tag is so low compared to the other options out there. For such a cheap price, it does a great job delivering on its premise. The One-Step gives my hair a voluminous blowout, especially my curtain bangs, in a matter of minutes. It does give me a little more frizz and a little less polished ends than more expensive options like the Drybar and Dyson, though even the best of the blow-dry brushes will still add a little frizz. Regardless, the Revlon is easily the best bang for your buck if you're in the market for a blow-dry brush. Power Play Photograph: Nena Farrell The One-Step is a pretty straightforward concept. It combines a round brush and a hair dryer into one device, allowing you to both dry and style your hair at the same time. It's easier to manage since it's a single device—I've never had the dexterity to manage two tools at the same time, let alone get good results. Keep in mind, though, that blow-dry brushes tend to make more frizz than using a blow dryer and a round brush, since the air is coming through the center of the brush rather than on top of it, thus blowing hair in multiple directions while you use it. The Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus has three heat settings, each with an attached airflow level, plus a fourth 'cool' setting. You can't customize the air speed and heat, but that's true on more expensive models, too, so I wouldn't count that too heavily against the One-Step. Most other blow-dry brushes only have a cool mode and two heat settings, so while the Revlon is more affordable, it also offers more heat levels than you'll find on a Drybar brush or even the Dyson. Revlon says the One-Step's three heat settings reach between 200 and 260 degrees Fahrenheit, though Revlon can't confirm how hot the individual levels will get. This range is a little hotter than others we've tested; the Shark FlexStyle (9/10, WIRED Recommends) reaches only 230 degrees Fahrenheit, for example, while T3's AireBrush ranges from about 170 degrees to 214 degrees Fahrenheit. That higher heat range adds to the extra frizz I find myself getting when I use the Revlon compared with a T3 or Dyson blow-dry brush, and does put me at risk for more damage than with the more expensive brushes. Volumize Me Photograph: Nena Farrell Revlon recommends using the One-Step on damp hair, rather than wet hair. Ivy & Luna Studio co-owner and hairstylist Alanna Safarik-Ashby (also known as @folliclefatale) recommended I wait until my hair was 90 percent dry for the safest results when using any blow-dry brush. Using it on wet hair can lead to more damage since it pulls on your hair strands when they're at their most fragile, Safarik-Ashby explained.
