New RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer (2022) Overview: A Smaller and Sleeker Hair Device

My life was endlessly altered when I tried the original RevAir. This monstrously giant vacuum-like hair tool is the way forward for blowouts. You part your moist or damp hair and feed it into the hose, wait 30 to 90 seconds, after which take away your hair to disclose stretched-out, straight, dry locks. It is magical. Now, RevAir has an up to date model with the next price ticket, however nearly anybody can respect the small enhancements.

It is known as a reverse dryer, as a result of as a substitute of sizzling air blowing out in your hair, it pushes down towards the hose within the course of the hair cuticle, decreasing frizz. Tiny holes across the opening of the wand direct air to the scalp, however it feels cool in your head. As scary because it seems to be, the wand will not eat your hair.

Sized Down

Probably the most important replace to the RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer is its dimension. It is made up of a hose, wand, and base, however the previous base was 10 x 9.5 x 9 inches—RevAir has shrunken it all the way down to 7.78 x 7.95 x 7.26 inches. That may not learn as a lot of a distinction, however my husband and I each gasped after we opened the field. The hose can also be thinner and shorter. I do not suppose the RevAir will ever be small, however my rest room countertop certain appreciates these adjustments. 

It not solely takes up much less house, however the dryer can also be lighter and simpler to make use of—dare I say one thing you might even take into account touring with should you do not thoughts the 8-pound weight. There is a Total Package version for $70 more that provides a tote bag and a number of different equipment, like a hair towel, comb, spray bottle, clips, plus an extra filter and foam liners.

Different upgrades embody a brand new removable wand relaxation that slips proper below the deal with, a small digital display for stress as a substitute of a dial, and a small redesign that ditches the brilliant blue accents for matte black styling, delivering a extra modern {and professional} look. The corporate says the machine can also be now quiet sufficient that you could have conversations whereas utilizing it. I did not discover that utterly correct; it isn’t overbearingly loud, however it nonetheless feels like some other hair dryer.

As with the unique, your outcomes will differ relying in your hair kind, and you’ll have to attempt a couple of totally different strategies earlier than you grasp the RevAir. My curls aren’t tremendous tight, however my hair is thick and coarse, and an all-around ache to take care of. My outcomes had been straighter once I had damp hair as a substitute of soaking moist hair, and I stored my hair within the wand between 45 and 60 seconds. Clear hair works higher than days-old curls, and oils are finest used after utilizing the dryer. 

You get the identical settings: seven stress ranges and two warmth settings—158 and 220 levels Fahrenheit—plus chilly. After I straighten my hair, I sometimes want to make use of a flat iron at warmth settings between 420 and 450 levels, however going so sizzling will be damaging to hair. I like that this is not a lot of a problem on the RevAir. Not like a blowout with a spherical brush that always requires an entire lot of pulling, this vac-like system can also be painless. 

Even on the identical settings, I seen the brand new mannequin saved me a couple of extra minutes over the unique, although I nonetheless normally wanted one other flat iron to clean out among the unavoidable puffiness. In case your hair is already clean, you’ll be able to most likely skip this step.
