Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0
After 8 months and 110 hours of blowouts on three hair types, the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus 2.0 remains the budget hair tool I recommend most often. We measured 280°F (138°C) on the high setting, surprisingly gentle for a $49 dryer-brush, and salon-quality at-home blowouts in 8 minutes flat on shoulder-length hair. It's not the Dyson Airwrap, but at one-twelfth the price, it doesn't pretend to be.
+Pros: Genuinely cuts blowout time in half, 8 minutes on shoulder-length hair · Surprisingly gentle 280°F (138°C) high setting · Half-pound lighter than the original, easier on the wrist
−Cons: Bristle pattern catches type 4 coils, not the right tool for tightly textured hair · Cord is short at 6 feet, limits bathroom positioning
