 One-Step Blowout Curls

When I first received the One-step Blowout Curls tool, I was uncertain how it would fit into my hair routine. I typically let my hair air-dry on wash day and then use a curling iron on day two. I have thick, wavy hair that takes a while to dry so the first time I used the tool I had a hard time getting it dry enough to where the curls were developed enough with the curling attachment. Since it's not a heated iron it wasn't as much of a smoothing effect as a traditional curling iron. The next time I used, it was more for a restyle on fully dry hair, and I found that to be surprisingly useful. I will definitely use this in my routine to help create bouncy smooth curls, esp when my hair is already nearly dry. I also like that the air flow technology helps prevent damage to my hair. It's not too loud and there are several settings so you can control the airflow/temp. I'm guessing if you had thinner hair it would be a nice alternative to blowdrying followed by curling, I just don't have the patience to get my hair fully dry. I received the tool through the Stellar Testing panel.

I am so glad that i found this product! It is so easy to use. You use it the same way you would a normal curling iron, and hot air move through the barrel. It also cones with a root dryer attachment with is awesome and gave ny hair lots of volume. The way i used it was: on damp hair with heat protectant spray. I first dried my roots with the special attachmen. Then i curled my damp hair I took 1 inch sections from front to back, curling away from my face, and holding for about 15 seconds. . Then i followed up with some hairspray for hold. The result was loose wavy curls. The best part about this tool is how much time it saves you. The only reason i took away one star os because the curls didn't hold as long as I'd like them to. But my hair type is very fine and doesn't hold curls well. I got this product for free through the stellar product testing panel but the opinions are 100% my own.

I was really excited to try this out because I have used the one step drying brush and loved how simple it was to use and how much volume it gave my hair. For reference, I have fine, wavy hair - and a lot of it. My hair is a little past my collar bone. My hair has natural wave and body to it if I am in a tropical environment and/or use the right products - but it responds well to any manipulation so I can easily tame and curl with tools and it holds curl from hot tools fairly well. First off, you need to dry your hair quite a bit before attempting to use the barrel attachment. My hair air dries relatively easily while I'm going about my morning routine so this wasn't a problem and I am used to doing this when I use a drying brush. I love the design overall - it feels just like using a curling iron and it has a nice long barrel which is great for long hair. It's not as simple to clamp and readjust/slide as my usual curling iron but that's okay and to be expected considering this is a multifunction tool. I sectioned my hair the same way I would with a curling iron, and followed the exact pattern I normally use with a traditional curling iron. My first reaction was WOW - I loved the volume it created. I think because you are drying your hair in place along with the curl, it encourages incredible volume. The curls looked about like they do from my 1.5 inch barrel upon first release. So as I went through my typical routine I was really impressed. I like to alternate towards and away from the face, and then to lightly comb my fingers through my hair at the very end after the curls have set so that I have a loose, wavy, undone look. In the end, the "curl" fell out a lot and didn't hold as tightly as it would with a traditional curling iron. The body and volume maintained! I think if my goal was a voluminous blowout with more curl than a drying brush, this tool achieves this pretty well. But I would probably use the tool and then reinforce with Velcro curlers throughout the process and let them set that way and go full on 90s style knockout blowout. Ultimately I'm not sure that this product saves very much time for me, and I have a hard time trusting that it is creating less damage because you have to hold your hair in direct heat for a decent amount of time to achieve the desired result. I also can't see myself ditching the curling iron or traditional dryer for this one product. So for these reasons, I give it 3 stars. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this hair tool!

I was so excited to try this One-Step Blowout Curls. As someone who uses heat to style their hair 4x a week, I like the idea that this could be less damaging to my fine hair. If you are comfortable using a curling iron, there is little-to-no learning curve. I found it very easy to use the curling attachment, and it did not snag or pinch my hair, it moved smoothly as I rotated my longer hair in. I think this tool works best when you allow your hair to dry to 80% dry and then use the curling attachment on the damp hair to lock in the curls. I think the hair needs to be slightly damp in order to hold the curl (which also saves me time compared to a traditional curling iron). While I do reach for this tool often, I don't think it can completely replace a hair dryer and curling iron. The root/comb attachment was not particularly useful for me. I wasn't able to reduce the frizz at my roots enough. If I needed a sleek and precise style I would have to use a separate blow dryer and brush first to reduce frizz and tame my baby hairs. I do think it's great for an elevated every day wave, with very little effort. The wave and bounce lasted for a few days! I also appreciate the way the attachments snap on easily. It is easy to snap them off and store it. I wish they made additional barrel attachments so you could change up your curl size! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for giving me this new hair tool and boosting my hair game!

First, thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for the opportunity to try out this product. I was initially excited to receive a hair tool that could both dry and curl at the same time and was looking forward to using this as a quick way curl and style my hair especially in the morning after wash day when my hair is still a bit damp and does not curl with a regular curling iron unless I dry it first. The first time I tried out this styling tool, I did like how it dried and somewhat curled my hair in one pass, but the curls did not set well and fell out pretty quickly to more of a subtle wave style so I had to go back with my usual curling iron to get the more curled style that I prefer. I also noticed that it dried out my hair too much on the medium setting so the next time I tried using it on the low setting and used a protective hair oil. Those changes helped to reduce the dryness after styling, but the curls still did not stay in for very long. I really wanted to love this product so I will keep trying to use it and see if with practice I can improve my results, but it was definitely not the easy one-step tool that I was hoping for. I do like that it is simple to assemble and take apart and the individual pieces are fairly compact which would make this a nice tool to travel with. I also wonder if in the future, Revlon could introduce different curling barrel sizes or other attachments that could help achieve a wider array of hair styles for different hair types. Overall, I think that this is a great idea, but the execution needs a bit of improvement to create the perfect drying and curling styling tool.
