REVAIR Reverse-Air Dryer, Vacuum Hair Dryer for All Hair Types, 800 Watts, Black

It's definitely a huge investment but it's worth it. There's a learning curve at the beginning to figure out how to obtain the best results for your hair type but once that's done, it's such a breeze! I have thick long curly hair (4a) and I'm still able to blow dry my hair well in about 15 to 20 minutes. Keeping my hair blow dried has helped me a lot with length retention as my hair doesn't tangle as much and this machine doesn't use as much heat as a regular blow dryer would be. Still make sure to use a heat protectant and do regular deep conditioning treatments to keep the hair healthy but overall I'm satisfied with this purchase.

I must start off by saying that I was very skeptical about the effectiveness of this product. I read the reviews on all products before buying them to help me decide if it’s worth trying. The reviews were overwhelmingly positive about this hair dryer so despite the high price I decided that for the sake of maintaining the health of my hair it would be a good investment, so I bought it. Well, when I opened the box and saw the unit, my first impression was, this is a joke because this looks like a vacuum cleaner so they must have sent me the wrong product. I was ready to send it back, but I read the instructions and how to assemble it and the settings for my hair type. Well my anxiety rose even higher when I realized that I am supposed to insert my hair into the hose and I was worried that it would get tangled into whatever mechanism was inside it and it would rip my hair out 😂😂😂😂. (Yes I have major paranoia with strange looking hair contraptions). Anyway I sent up a small prayer to God and trust that it was going to be fine. PROS: 1. I felt NO HEAT on my scalp or hair 2. It took 40 seconds to dry each section of hair. Total 8 sections so it took less than 6 minutes to dry my whole head. 3. I did not need to apply any heat protector or oils to my hair before drying it (per the instructions) 4. My hair was dry, straight, shiny and felt SOOOOOO smooth & soft when it was released from the suction. 5. I don’t need to use anymore heating tools when I am finished drying. If I want to add a little curl/wave to my hair I can add a few curlers otherwise I love it straight 🥰 CONS: 1. Too bulky to travel with. 2. Does not have a carrying case 3. Have to keep the original box to store it after use. 4. Super loud If it weren’t for the lack of a carrying case and the units bulky size which would make it difficult for traveling I would give this product a 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, so if you are hesitant about buying this product, don’t be because it’s worth the money. What are you waiting for? I opted to use AFFIRM to pay for mine and my monthly installments is $27 or if you have an Amazon Card you can pay in installments with $0 interest. UPDATE: I had purchased this unit over 3 1/2 years and it stopped working about 2 weeks ago. I noticed a couple of times when I was using the unit that the power switch would not shut off the power. I had to unplug the unit to power it off. The next time I attempted to turn it on, it did not come on at all. I contacted RevAir customer service to see if they offered service for units outside of the warranty. Apparently there have been other issues with the power switches, so after the sent me an email with a link to upload pictures of my unit and a video show the unit plugged in and my attempts switch the unit on, it was determined that my unit was experiencing the same issue. RevAir agreed to replace the base unit at no charge to me even though the warranty had expired. This was assessed and completed within a week. Now I am back to maintaining a healthy hair maintenance routine. Now that is what I consider to be the BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER. I love my RevAir and I will always recommend this product. My hair has never been this healthy. I updated my review to change this from a 4 star to a 5 star rating because: 1. They finally came up with a carry bag for the unit so I could finally get rid of the bulky box and I can take it with me on my road trips. Now they need to make it in a smaller model so I can pack it in my suitcase to travel overseas. 2. They provide excellent customer service 🥰

I have 2c, medium corse, super dense, super frizz prone hair, and this thing is a massive game changer for me. Why I love it: - Time. It takes me just 15 minutes to go from wet hair to straight, sleek hair. I section my hair into 11 sections and Rev each one for 40 sections each, for a total of 7 and a half minutes of drying. The rest of the time is spent section my hair. I think if I get faster as sectioning it, it would take even less time. I set it to high heat and a speed of 4, reducing it to 2 for the layered sections around my face. -Natural looking. It doesn't make my hair look like blow-dried or straightened curly hair, it makes my hair look naturally straight. I prefer this to the "done" look of a blowout. I've gotten tons of compliments on my hair since I started using this. Even clueless guy friends are like, "Wait, something's different with your hair? It looks awesome." - Effort/ease. I can dry my hair in the same amount of time with the Revlon One-Step, but it's more work and takes more technique to get it right. With the RevAir, you just section your hair and stick it in the wand and hold the want to your head. - Cool. The RevAir is much cooler to use. I don't get sweaty drying my hair with the it in the summer like I do with a traditionally blow dryer or the Revlon One-Step. - Less product. I use so much less product with RevAir. All I need is a little leave in conditioning spray (I use No Nothing Moisturizing Mist and it doesn't gunk up the RevAir), as opposed to serums and hold products with a blow out or gobs of gel when I wear it curly. Downsides: - Cost. The RevAir costs 10 times as much as a Revlon One-Step. The results and experience of using it are much better, but it's hard to say if it's TEN TIMES better. - Size. This thing is basically a small canister vacuum. The body of it is about the size of a toaster, and the wand and hose are big and bulky. It takes up a lot of counter real estate and you can't travel with it unless you're going on a road trip in a big vehicle. So far I've had this for about a month and I find myself reaching for it every time I've washed my hair since I bought it. It's made me totally abandon the Curly Girl method!

I should have listened to myself months ago and just gotten it! I am currently on a hair growth and length retention journey and this rev air just made my journey much easier. Once your hair is properly stretched, you have less shedding, easy to comb and easy to maintain, easy to style ! I stretched my hair in these photos so I can do a protective style that I will wear for over a week. It took me about half an hour to 45 minutes to do my full head. I used the highest heat because I wanted to do a length check as well. The bad reviews: you need to understand that the rev air, once your hair is stretched, It will show the condition of your hair. If your hair is not healthy and in good condition, and you have split ends and breakage, it will show that! and you will think that it’s the REVAIR, but it is your hair (that you have not been taking care of) We all have different hair textures, and we must understand that this is also heat … and hair health comes from daily length retention by tucking in your ends, moisturizing, avoiding high tension, styles, doing low tension protective styles etc. I have four 4a hair. hopefully this helps someone making the decision to ditch blow dryers and switch to REVAIR (btw rev air is not a blow dryer, hence the bad reviews you need to take care of your hair for it to look good stretched.)

The RevAir is definitely worth the investment. It was gentle on my hair and left it feeling healthy, soft and super manageable.
