Beauty & Hair 💅🏽 👩🏾🦱 Reviews on the Revair?
I just heard of this blowdryer due to someone posting that they got it for Christmas. It looks AMAZING. The price tag is expensive but worth it if it does a good job.
Anyone ever tried it? What are your thoughts? I'm thinking of buying one but would like to hear people's experiences.
Please put hair texture in your reply. I'm mainly looking for 4b/c hair but any reply would help!

I just bought it for myself in my journey to become a blowout natural. I've used it twice so far. I have Type 4 hair mostly 4C. My hair is below shoulder length.
I've been really honest with people that I don't think most people need a RevAir lmaoooo. I sat on it for a minute before buying. I don't regret it but many would.
If you already are good at blow drying, with a regular blow dryer and a brush, don't get the RevAir. You truly don't need it.
If you're looking for that very beautiful soft flowy blowout and you are able to do it with a regular blow dryer, don't do the RevAir. Get a Dyson or something else. Even consider a round brush.
If you don't have a lot of hair, I would think it's a waste of time.
If you can't see yourself using a blow dryer as a part of your routine, don't do it.
Now if you absolutely are terrible at blow drying your hair, but want to work with blown out hair, then yes get the RevAir. I can actually do a decent blowout with it. It took my wash day time down a great deal. The first time was about an hour and 15 minutes. The second time I was able to blow dry my hair fully in about 45 minutes. I'm still getting the rhythm so I'm going to start tracking how much time wash day takes but it's definitely less.
Before I use the RevAir, I have to make sure that my hair is completely detangled and plaited up and then I go section by section and I use my phone timer to make sure I'm not overdoing it.
Even though I have the newest version it's still really bulky. It's very loud. As far as the blowout itself, there is a little stiffness to it. It's the type of blowout that kind of begs to be styled (I hope this makes sense).
Why the RevAir, if I'm so negative on it lol? I love my twists on blown out hair, and I'm hoping to start doing more styles like bantu knots and curlers. I'm also hoping that having stretched hair will make it easier to retain length. That was the biggest reason for me to go in a different direction with my haircare. I'm still doing the same things, just on stretched hair instead of only detangled hair.
I have disabilities that limit my energy and my ability to do a really good blowout with a typical blow dryer, and styling in general. I've tried. For what I need it for, it definitely helps.
