For most of my head, I chose the low setting.
To dry, I grabbed a small section of hair and simply brushed my hair with the paddle brush.
I went over each section about three to five times with the brush.

I was able to easily brush through my hair in preparation for whatever style I was trying to do.
Im still shocked at how straight I was able to get my hair after just blow-drying.
Thats a huge win because I wanted to avoid any heat damage.

The Revlon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer and Styler is the perfect hair dryer and brush hybrid.
I prep with a heat protectant, section my hair, and glide the brush through my strands.
It creates that perfect 90s bouncy blowout without requiring professional-level skills."
This dryer is easily the best hair tool Ive purchased in a long time.
Its both effective and efficient, so, honestly, I cant believe its so inexpensive.
Most of us likely already have an old faithful that weve had for years.
The oval brush is meant to deliver volume while drying and smoothing.
