Boy, this thing has power! I've only used it once, so we will see what the future brings. I had to use it on medium heat/speed because high blew my hair around before I could get it around the brush. The metal part with the bristles sticking out of it gets too hot while I try to put a hand on it to hold my hair in place and the tip is not long enough to hang onto, so I am in the market for a glove to use on my left hand. I was worried that the handle would be too large for me to hold, but I managed it fine with my right hand. The only other thing I would say is that because of where my outlet is in relation to the mirror, I could use another couple feet of cord! I bought this hot brush because I was using one similar to it that was a couple decades old and it finally gave up the ghost, so I knew what I should be able to do with it. I am pleased with the results, except, with the larger brush, the tip isn't long enough to hang onto to help style with your opposing hand.

I think it depends upon the type and length of your hair whether and how much you like it. My hair is pretty long and super baby fine, with a bit of loose natural wave. I don't need anything else but this to dry and style in a ton of volume, no frizzy ends and a little curl too, if I want.This is my personal routine; Starting with wet hair, first I use the concentrator to blow it mostly dry. Then I switch the attachment to one of the curling barrels (easy to do but be careful, it gets hot). I turn the blower on high setting for 10 seconds or so to pre-heat the metal barrel, shut it off, roll my hair around the barrel just like you would a curling iron. (Instruction manual says not to roll the hair around it more than once, but I roll mine around several times. It is long and it has never gotten tangled nor overheated or damaged on either size barrels). After the hair is rolled up on the barrel, I turn the blower on high or medium heat for a few seconds, until it feels dry to the touch at the thickest part. Then BEFORE unrolling the hair, I switch to the no heat/cool setting for a few more seconds, until the hair is dried and no longer feels hot to the touch. This sets the wave or curl so that it stays that shape. The extra step of cooling hair down before unrolling makes all the difference in how well this device works on my hair. I have no problem operating the blower setting switch with one hand, which is a big plus in my eyes. Yes, I could see how this might not be the perfect styling implement for someone with a ton of really thick hair that takes a long time to dry, but I was happily surprised at how well and fast it works on my baby fine locks. I was also surprised at how much less flyaway or frizzy ends I have when I use it. Revlon claims that it shines your hair and it actually does. I REALLY like it. I bought it cheap as a Amazon warehouse special deal AND just on a whim, but now I'd purposely buy it again at the regular price in a hot minute. Yes, REALLY!

I had a curling brush that I’ve owned around 20 years and it was just starting to fall apart. I wanted a ROUND brush (not OVAL which is obviously the new trend) and something that would be easy to manage. I have a bad shoulder and needed something that wouldn’t wear me out trying to style my hair. This has 2 different sizes of brushes and a type of cone to use as a blow dryer. Perfect in every way, reasonably priced, and delivered in a timely manner.

I purchased this dryer in 2016 and have used it almost daily. It finally started smoking so here I am purchasing a new one. I haven't found a smaller dryer better than this for daily use and travel.

This Revlon hot air dryer is great. It does a very nice job on my hair and the price was way better than anywhere else.

It does exactly what it’s meant to do. Tried it in dry hair first didnt know what I was doing then on wet hair and it was a beautiful style glad I got it. Helps me learn how to style my hair in a price efficient way.

I bought this hot air styling brush kit to replace a similar one that broke after many years of use (I dropped it on a tile floor one too many times). So far, it's been as good for styling my short, fine hair, that has a slight wave in it which tends to flip the wrong way unless I style it - which annoys me, as my old one did. I hope it lasts me as long too. I had my old one just over 10 years! The old one still turned on, even after drop #4, but the handle where it met the electrical cord was too just broken to make it safe to use anymore. No amount of duct tape around it would convince me otherwise.I don't actually bother styling my hair most days, since I work from home, but when I want my hair to have more style, I use this, with a light, natural styling gel, and been happy 90% of the time with the results. The only times I haven't been happy is when I'm in a humid area. Humidity makes my hair go nuts; either it loses all the style I spent time putting in by drooping and going flat, or it gets super wavy, curly, and/or frizzy, which drives me crazy too (I hate having my hair in my face), so I end up using a hair tie and clips to hold it back from my face, and/or I wear a hat. I don't use fixative type hair products due to the toxicity of most of them. I have asthma, very sensitive skin and a sensitive scalp. I breakout from most styling products. Also, most fragrances in most products and sprays, tend to trigger my allergies and/or asthma. Using just this brush and the natural styling gel are really my only options, and work fine, mostly. I deal with it if they don't. They work well together when I'm home in Colorado, most of the time. Humidity here does the same thing as it does anywhere else to my hair though, but it's rarely very humid here.I want to warn everyone, as with all styling brushes and blow dryers, the Revlon Hot Air Brush does get HOT while using it. Not so much the handle where you hold it most of the time, but all the metal parts do, and so does the handle near the styling attachments area. So, please be careful when changing out the attachments, cleaning the brushes, putting it away, or packing it after use. Some parts retain heat for a while. Give them time to cool down, 5-10 minutes, or use something to protect your fingers/hands if you need to change attachments while using it.I also just can't stress these next things enough:1. DO NOT use it near a sink or bathtub with water in it. If you accidentally drop it into water while it's plugged into a wall outlet, you could electrocute yourself, and/or start a fire. It'll be ruined too. Water and most motorized things do not go well together. it's not a waterproof item.2. ALWAYS, when you finish using it, unplug it and leave it on a counter, far away from curious little ones if they are of concern, or hang it up, to allow it to cool off, before you put it away or pack it in a suitcase! The risks of burning someone or something, and/or starting a fire, are real. I scorched a t-shirt slightly, when I went to pack it in my suitcase, before giving it enough time to cool off first. I had wrapped the t-shirt around the handle part, to cushion it in my suitcase. When I unpacked it at home to put it away, I found the scorch mark on the shirt. Lesson learned. Luckily, it wasn't one of my new t-shirts I ruined.3. DO NOT leave it plugged into a wall outlet, even if it's not turned on or hot, and forget about it. Power spikes can damage it, and cause an electrical fire if it sparks. Also, you don't want anything else happening either, such as a young child getting ahold of it.So, yes, I recommend you try the Revlon Hot Air Brush Kit. If you don't like it, return it before the 30 days return period. Just be smart about using it and storing it. If it lasts me 5-10 years, I'll be happy.
