I need to know about these 2 products

[ssmjlm]

mrsd2006, yes that is the one. Just FYI, it can get really hot. I try to make sure to toggle between high/low when I'm using it and spray heat protectant on my hair first.

Also when I clicked your link to see if it’s the same it showed when I last bought it and it was 8/2017 and it’s still going strong, so they last too.

I bought the L'ange blowdryer brush recently (my friend highly recommended it and I've tried some of their products before and liked it) after seeing it on FB. It's really great. My hair looks professionally done after using it, but I was surprised how hot it got. Time will tell how long it will last. I feel like over time the bristles will break off.

If I feel like I've got a pretty good blowdryer/round brush technique and I have fine hair that takes about 5 minutes to blowdry, is the blowdryer brush worth it? Or not really.

[wildrice]

Well, now I'm curious about this Revlon brush too. I have curly hair and almost never straighten it since it's a total PITA to do, but it appears this does a good job. I actually like having curly hair and have no intention of blowing it out daily, but it could be kind of fun to have another option. My hair basically always looks the same the way I wear it now.

I've been thinking one of the things I should do with my extra quarantine time is learn how to better do my hair/makeup for special occasions/nights out. I don't have a ton of interest in being more fancy on a day to day basis, but I feel like I have no skills when I want to do something special. Of course, with nothing special planned for MONTHS, it's not particularly inspiring haha.

My girlfriend who has similar hair to yours LOVES it and I can tell when she uses it.

You've seen my hair.  I have A LOT of it.  And I adore this brush.  It has cut down blow-dry time and honestly, I would pay double or triple for it.  

Full disclosure:  As someone else said, when my hair is completely soaked, I blow dry with my regular hair-dryer and then finish off with this Revlon hair brush blowdryer.  However, most times I let my hair air-dry for about a half hour - hour and then blowdry using my Revlon brush dryer.


You can also buy it at Bed Bath Beyond and use a 20% off coupon.

I bought a couple of Olive and June polishes. For me it doesn’t last as long as they say it does. It chipped within 2 days just like all the other polish brands (OPI, Essie, etc). They have a nice color selection though.

Well now I just went and ordered some Moxie lashes. THANKS GUYS!!

I have been debating about buying the magnetic lashes. I think called moxie.

I don't have the Moxie lashes, but I have a different brand from Amazon, and they're a game changer. I seriously could not do the fake lashes with the glue without them being completely crooked. Magnetic lashes are the easiest things ever. Just make sure you actually let the magnetic liner dry for a minute or two before sticking the lashes on.


I wear them all the time now. Totally recommend them!

What brand do you have? I think I want to try them

It’s the one I’m talking about. I’ve seen it closer to $30, but it’s well worth the $40.
Like I said I keep an extra new in the box in case mine dies. It’s the best hair thing I’ve ever owned and I bought the Dyson $400 hairdryer when it came out and this is 1000000000x better.

I will say, I have had the opposite experience. Nothing I do with that brush come close to the speed and smoothness I get from the Dyson (which was a gift and I love it so so much). I also didn't like how hot the dryer brush got/made my hair. But for $40 instead of $400, on balance it's worth it.

If you're skilled with a round brush and regular blow dryer I don't think you'll be that impressed. I also have fine hair but it takes forever to blow dry and even longer with the Revlon dryer. My hair looks a million times better when I use it but I often reach for my Dyson because I can be dry in less then 10 min. I also have no round brush game otherwise I'd do that with my Dyson.

[HoneySpider]

I think I'm the only person who doesn't like the Revlon dryer brush. I don't know, maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but it makes my hair flat. I'm better off just using a blow dryer.

RE: Facebook hair things - Pro-hair ties are legitimately the best hair ties I've ever used www.hairties.com/

I have super thick hair that eats hair ties and these have lasted months of repeated use. I've only had one break on me (@@@ because I think my kid chewed on it before use).

[PennyCandy]

How long does the dryer brush take? I have a lot of thick, wavy hair. I got a new hair dryer not too long ago and I can dry it in like 6 mins, but I'm not using a round brush or anything.

Does it hold a ponytail up?  Mine always slip down.  Does it leave a dent?

Do these keep your hair up high? I have super thick hair that’s heavy and regular elastic always falls. I’m intrigued by these!

[pixy0stix]

Yes, they keep my hair up without slipping. Wherever I put it, it stays. Since it's rubber, it grips.

Yes, it leaves a dent. Pretty much anything that can hold my hair always leaves a dent. Anything proclaimed as dentless just slides right on out.

It will pull some of your hair out, unlike the claims. BUT not as bad as regular hair ties.

I tried the Revel nails twice now. It really takes a learning curve and I haven't loved it yet. Also the first step bottle was so cheap and the brush keeps disconnected and seriously gets everywhere. I bought a off brand on Amazon to compare.

I just got into dip nail from the thread here! I bought iGel though, they’ve had a 60% off sale going for awhile now. From reviews I think it’s a little easier to use then Revel, especially their liquids. I love them! I keep getting so many compliments on my nails. The only thing is their website kinda sucks for pictures, but there’s an igel group on FB where people post pictures of colors.

Approx 84 years unless you pre-dry it with a regular blow dryer first which I have no time for that kind of nonsense. In all seriousness my thin, fine hair takes a solid 30 min if I've let it air dry 15-20 min before.

I have a lot of hair. Like A LOT. And it's thick, wavy, and coarse. My hair stylist even comments on how much every time I go. Anyway, I switched to the Revlon dryer brush back in January. If I use it basically straight out of the shower, it takes me 15-20 minutes to do my hair. Part of that is that the dryer gets really hot which in turn makes me really hot so I have to take a break. And also, I think the dryer is really heavy so I have to let my arm rest, haha.

If I let my hair air dry for 20-30 minutes first, which is how I prefer to do my hair regardless of what type of dryer I use, i can get my hair done in about 10 minutes with the dryer brush. But that's with using my flat iron on the very top layer to better tame my flyaways.

Before I got this, I would use my regular dryer and flat iron (I am seriously incapable of using a dryer and round brush on my hair). It was about 5-6 minutes of the regular dryer then at least 10-15 minutes with my flat iron. So I don't know that it saves me much time, but my hair looks significantly better with the dryer brush and it's so much healthier. My hair stylist even commented on it last time I was there, and asked if I had switched products b/c it looked so much better (I have not). 

[cinnamoncox0]

cville that’s interesting. Maybe it’s the style or something? My dryer is ok but for me and my hair the Revlon thing blows it away.
And I am surprised reading all the posts about it getting so hot mine doesn’t at all.
It’s going maybe 12 min at a time. I don’t know if that’s a factor. And I section it so maybe that’s how it gets faster and smoother.

[ssmjlm]

For the dryer brush, I think the biggest thing is letting your hair air dry a bit and then drying in sections.

I have to dry it in 3 main sections and then do the front to get a decent sort of swoop/blow out look.

I would say maybe 10 mins? I have never timed myself, but can do it before work w/o it taking that much longer.

ETA: I've also seen a few influencers say it's good for 2nd/3rd day hair.  My hair gets way to curly overnight for that to work for me.  I have to straighten my crown/front at a minimum.

[gretchenindisguise]

I also have the revlon dryer brush and like it quite a bit. I use it almost exclusively now.

@@
My kids also like it. They hate using the blow dryer, because it blows their hair all over. They are fine with the dryer brush because it's so much more localized.

[georgeglass]

My hair takes about 10 minutes with the Revlon dryer. I have shoulder length, thick hair (for reference, my hair stylist always comments that she has to make extra dye). My hair is wavy. I am too impatient to wait and air dry, so I start using the Revlon dryer when my hair is soaking wet. Still, only about 10 minutes.

The Revlon dryer does SUCH a nice job on DD’s hair (when she’ll let me). She’s got medium thickness hair with loose curls, so when I use it her hair gets so nice and smooth but with a nice flip at the bottom. I’m so jealous!

[rebneen]

starburst604 when did she get so grown up?! Your DD looks so sweet.

Does anyone have air pod knock offs they recommend? Are they ok for stuff like Zoom?
