 One-Step Blowout Curls

Typically adding a separate curling iron and blow dryer to my self care routine is a concept that is too overwhelming to consider.. I suppose that sounds dramatic- but I'm a very busy mom to two kids, two dogs, a small business owner and am now expecting my third child! I feel lucky when I have enough time to brush out my hair and moisturize, yet have longed for the ability to do more than that. The idea of being able to dry and style in one product was incredibly appealing. Despite my overall lack of time, of course I want to feel well cared for and put together! I also have a daughter with gorgeous curly hair that I'd love to style more but always am concerned about damage. So with this product's air flow technology designed to minimize damage, it becomes even more appealing. If I'd have ever tried to add something for a bit of fun and added style now and then- this product seemed like the perfect fit! And I am delighted to find, that I love it! The product is overall smaller and lighter weight than I expected for a 2-in-one product like this. This is a major perk for me as I often travel for work and those travel times tend to be the times that I put a bit more time into my hair care when I present my work to clients and am without my typical daily household and childcare responsibilities for a short stretch! It's definitely quite a lot easier than bringing just a hairdryer and definitely less cumbersome than attempting to bring both a curling iron and dryer! In fact- it's in my suitcase for an upcoming show tour as I type this! The second day styling/air styling feature is also a major perk, here. I am not able to wash my hair very frequently because that causes damage to my hair and reactions for my scalp- the healthiest thing for me seems to be 2-3 times/week washing. So it can be a bit hard to feel like I cannot effectively style my hair the rest of the time. Not an issue here! Along these lines, learning that this product aims to style with less overall damage is another major perk for me with overall dry hair and a sensitive scalp. So I was very excited to give it a try and see if if all went as well as it seemed like it would! It all almost seemed too good to be true! One of my only bits of feedback for the system is that there are not a lot of notes in the instructions manual for the different uses of the two types of attachments. It may be obvious to most but I'm a hair styling newbie lol… so it's a good thing I still had the box on hand and could read more about the difference there! For anyone who like me, in attempt to be efficient and quickly declutter, has a tendency to immediately recycle boxes and packaging- the attachment that looks like a comb helps with the faster drying of your hair's roots and the part that looks more like a traditional curling iron is what creates the curls! The other is that with a sensitive scalp, it can be a bit hard to have not only heat closer to my scalp due to the curling portion needing to be close to create the curl, but the drying mechanism means the heat can blow directly at the scalp. It's not a huge deal though, because it's easy to relieve the heat a bit by simply curling each spot for a bit longer at a lower temperature or using a comb as a barrier to direct the hot air away from one's scalp:) I'd love to see a smaller extension for tighter curling. I adore the natural blown out style that the current attachment creates but I also adore little curls! A smaller extension certainly may be available or might be soon- will be checking into that for myself as I think that would make this great product even better! It's awesome on its own though. I'll be showing friends, family members and a few colleagues on my upcoming work tour. We are all a lot of busy but fabulous women who can use tricks like this🙌🏻 I included several photos that I took. One shows me holding all the components together- helps you see the scale and the weight - it is lightweight and quite compact for what it does! Another shows some action shots and some of the resulting curls. Love, love, love the quick results and that styling is a lot less intimidating for someone always on the run. I added a touch of hairspray and misted water since I styled this from a dry/third-day-since-last-wash state. That helped it style up and hold the wave even better. Gave such great life to my mid weeks hair and a needed confidence boost! Cannot wait to use this item more regularly for myself and try it item with my daughter for her next dance event! I was honored to be given this hair tool by the Stellar Product Testing Panel to give it a try! I try to research everything that I purchase as much as I can so it's fun to be in a position to share information about a product with people who are interested in purchasing it. In addition, I have also been wanting to incorporate new hair care and styling into my routine so this item came to me at the perfect time to give it a try!

I really wanted to like the One-Step Curler but it didn't live up to my expectations. When I tried curling my hair on a warm setting, the air blew out very warm directly to my face or head and that was pretty irritating. If I tried cool air, it wasn't effective, if I tried warm or hot, the air was literally too hot blowing towards me. Unfortunately, it didn't give me the curls I was looking for. I thought this was a great concept but the hot air that blows out while trying to curl my hair really affected my experience in a not so great way. The dryer itself is great! I also really like the other part that you can connect to blow dry as well. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this hair tool.

I was so excited to use this and see how it worked. and I was only the tiniest bit disappointed! It has 2 attachments, the curler and a more direct diffuser type! I wasn't sure how this would work for me as I like to blow dry the front sides of my hair down otherwise they stick up! BUT the second attachment is super helpful! I start using that to make sure the little side hairs stay down and then I use that to help blow dry the back of my hair at the root. Once that's done I can go in and dry and curl! It can be a little difficult to keep the hair wrapped if you're not turning the drier off with each curl but nothing terrible. Hair also doesn't slide super easily through the barrel as it would with a regular curling iron. But, it does curl nicely! The biggest downside is I need it HOT for my hair to curl and if there isn't enough hair covering the entire barrel the hot air can hurt my neck/scalp. Changing the attachments is SUPER easy and I like the dial at the bottom for turning it on and off as well as the heat levels. I will absolutely continue to use this and see how it will continue helping speed up my morning routine! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this hair tool. Can't wait to keep using it!

I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and used this 2-in-1 tool 3 times in a week. The results improved with each use, but the curls never stayed in my hair for longer than a couple of hours. The look of as great at first so if I had an event, it was great. But for anytime I'd want curls to last the day, it was not going to work for me and my naturally straight hair. It did seem to be faster than my normal hairdry and curling wand, and I it seemed to be better for my hair - not sucking it dry with heat. But maybe that's why the curls didn't last for me. It worked best if my hair air-dried for a while first, but then it wasn't as time saving as I hoped. Still, the initial look it provided is enough for me to keep trying or use occasionally.

Was unable to achieve any curls with damp/ barely wet hair. My hair is straight naturally but I achieve curls easier with my flat iron. This product does dry my hair well with the root attachment.
