 One-Step Blowout Curls

I was so excited to try out the One Step Blowout Curls tool! I have frizzy, wavy hair that I usually air dry (occasionally blow dry) and then curl with smooth beach waves. The idea that I could shorten and eliminate the extra step, going from shower to beach waves/curls in one step was exciting. My roots are always the trouble, as they are curly and frizzy, so the root dryer was promising! Once I put the tool in use, it proved to require too much time to be effective on my hair. Usually a full blow dry and curl is about 25-30 mins, with small 5 min curl touch ups on between days if needed. In order to get the roots smooth and then spend enough time drying each section of my long hair, I was at 45 mins with the One Step tool. You could control the temp as well which was nice, however the speed of the fan was not separately controlled. The medium heat temp seemed too high but the low setting had a slower fan that wouldn't dry my hair fast enough. Would have been nice to do low temp, high fan if possible. When I was done, my hair had some volume at first, but the roots were frizzy. When the roots finally calmed down an hour or so later, the curls had straightened. So this didn't not have staying power in my hair. I think the problem with my hair was the curly/frizzy roots and the long length. I could see this being an amazing tool for someone with naturally straight roots and/or shorter length. It was just too much effort for moderate results for my hair type. However, I am thankful to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this hair tool to try! I would still recommend this to friends with certain hair types, as the tool was quality and innovative!

I received the Revlon one step blowout curls in exchange for my honest review and I was honestly blown away by the difference in my hair after a few uses. I have substantially fewer flyaways, my curls are bigger and last much longer than they did before, and I love how much less time I spent doing my hair having one tool that did it all for me. My morning bathroom time was cut by about 25 min which gave me 25 more minutes to enjoy the quiet before the house ramped up for the day. This is definitely my new go to tool for my hair and there is no going back for me

I was really excited about this 2 in 1 tool that I received through the Stellar product testing panel. I was hoping it would save time with wet hair but unfortunately it hasn't worked as hoped. It requires your hair to be almost dry before it works and while it creates great curls to begin with, they don't stay in for very long. For thinner hair, it might work ok but not if your hair is thicker. It's also tricky to use because the handle is much wider and often requires 2 hands. And while you're curling, the hot air is very close to your scalp and ears and can easily get too hot. The most helpful thing is that it includes a separate attachment to dry the roots and create more volume. So while this saves some time compared to separate blowdrying and curling, it doesn't make it very much quicker and the results aren't as good.

This curling/drying tool has a nice easy to use design. It's lightweight so doesn't get tiring while holding and styling. I have a lot of hair and it's very long and medium thickness, so I waited until it was damp to style. The drying part of the tool was great, it had a hot and cool setting. The hot setting got nice and hot enough to dry my long hair, and the curling did curl it nicely at first. Downside, the curl fell out quite quickly, before I even finished one small portion of my hair. It fell out even with a heat protection/curl serum I used beforehand (that works with other styling tools). Compared to competitors, it is a nice lightweight tool that quickly dries and curls without tangling or damaging your hair too much. It just wasn't the best for my type of hair. I received this product as part of the Stellar Testing Panel.

Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this hair tool, I was very excited to receive it and test it out! This hair tool "dries and curls in one step" BUT the curls unfortunately don't hold. For this reason I sadly think sticking to 2 separate tools gives a better end result. I was able to achieve bouncy curls only on the high and medium settings if I held it long enough but the air is too hot so close to the scalp that I couldn't hold it there for long. I would say this One-Step™ Blowout Curls tool is designed mainly for long, thick hair. My hair seemed too thin for this tool to be effective in maintaining curls for a full day. The air would sometimes blow the hair right off the barrel before I released it or would blow an already curled piece to where it got wispy instead of holding a full volume look. My favorite part of the tool was the "root- drying concentrator"! It was very effective in drying my hair! Due to the size of the tool, I also found it challenging to curl the hair on the back of my head and those curls fell the fastest. I did really appreciate the sleek style of the handle and despite it being so large, I think that was well thought out! It was really easy to hold and switch settings. Plus the cool tip was easy to grip from all angles around my head. I loved all of those details! I haven't traveled with this yet but I do think that would be a major pro since it has the detachable heads. I could see myself packing this over my bigger, bulkier hair dryer even if I didn't plan to curl my hair. I would recommend this to a friend who has long, thicker hair. I think it would be the most effective for them! I also would recommend if you do buy it that you use the QR code on the side of the box to watch the video demonstration. I found this SUPER helpful and was so glad I watched it. Great job, Revlon!
