Review of RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer on Type 4b/4c Hair

[@myrevair]

Wow, you are gorgeous 😍 and your hair is beautiful! Your results are incredible for your very first time. Our only tip to try in the future is because your hair is so long, you want the bottom half of your hair to spend some time in the wand as that is where all the magic happens. You can start at the scalp and once roots are fully dry, take the wand halfway down and let your bottom half of hair spend some time in the wand before moving to the next section of hair. 🤗

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Wow, I didn’t know that. Thank you so much for that tip!!! I look forward to trying that and can’t wait to see the results! Definitely loved this product and plan to add it to my regular regimen! ❤️❤️❤️

What is so interesting about Nancy is that she is a blow drying natural and she likes stretched styles by achieving them using a blow dryer and yet by the end of the day she doesn't even get a single bit of heat damage in her hair. How inspiring and how phenomenal and cool is that. Thank you for sharing. You teach and encourage me that heat is good but when used in the right way and sparingly cause a little goes a long way.😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗

I have the revair dryer and I love it. It's worth the money and the investment for healthy hair and no heat damage. This dryer genital enough, can be used every week or on wash days with no worries of destroying your hair.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

I love it too!!! Looking forward to using it more often!

[@Siddah58]

The instruction said not to pump it up and down to avoid tangles and knots. I find most you-tubers are pumping which it says not to do. I have a Rev-Air also and didn’t have any problems with tangles.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Yes, true, but I don’t think it’s the Revair that causing the tangles and knots. It’s more so that it’s not as good at getting the existing tangles and knots out as a comb or brush through blow dry system would be. Still an exceptional product!

[@gramnet]

I saw that too from another youtuber she leaves it in the wand until roots are dry moving it in all directions then chase combs it as she pulls it out of the wand . The best demonstration I have seen by far. She also said not to pump it She got it so straight you didn't nee a flat iron.

The RevAir is excellent. I dry my thick coarse long hair on level 7/low heat. Follow up with the Revlon One Step round brush making just one pass. Amazing!!!

[@uyiomere1114]

hey there! i was just wondering why you use the revlon after the revair if i might ask? does that make it extra smooth/stretched? i am thinking of doing the same thing as you because i use the revair on 7 w/ cool air (i don't use heat) and it doesn't stretch my ends properly although it stretches most of my hair well. i''ve seen the same thing happen to other naturals that have used heat with it so ik it's not matter of using heat or not. so i wanted to try the revlon paddle brush to stretch the ends better

[@shauniebnaturalista6672]

@@uyiomere1114 yes. It's almost as good as a flat iron. That tool gets really hot. I turn it off after I make the one pass and prepare the next bit of hair.

I cannot wait to own that dryer, it is definitely not hype and there is no need to use a comb for sleek looks. I am so happy you tried it. we have the same hair texture by the way. But i have more shrinkage I think.

[@Doc_McStuffins]

I love the revair for chunky, fluffy twists. I get so many compliments. But it's a lot of manipulation for my fine strands. I detangle before and brush again halfway through drying to get the most stretch (that second brushing makes a big difference for me -- almost silks it out but with volume) but all that brushing is a no no for my thin strands/ high density. Taking a break from the revair as part of your protective challenge. :)

[@suziesox8082]

How often were you using it before?

[@Doc_McStuffins]

@@suziesox8082 I used it nearly every wash day, which was once every 4 weeks or so since I got the revair in Aug or Sept 2019. I stopped using it for a challenge in October 2020 and keep my hair in plaits now. I miss the fluffy twists and volume but it's all good.

[@suziesox8082]

@@Doc_McStuffins thanks very much. I've been doing twists and braids as protective styles but still get single strand knots. I'm hoping stretching it with the revair will help but I don't want to do excessive manipulation. That would defeat the purpose.

[@Doc_McStuffins]

@@suziesox8082 larger braids (I have 14 now) with flaxseed or sea moss gel on the ends has helped tremendously with ssk. I wash in braids with clay also to help prevent tangling. Shampoo does a number on me no matter if I wash in braids or twists, gentle or rough. And detangling in the 3 sections of the braids helps prevent tangles and knots too. So far, no need for the revair these last several months! 👍🏿 Good luck

[@Doc_McStuffins]

@web nerd that wasn't my experience. I'm loc'd now and haven't used it in a year or so. But when I did, it didn't tangle my hair any more than any other tool. If my hair was detangled it would remain detangled. If I didn't detangle well, I'd have to after using revair.

[@solarlola5953]

I just ordered one.. I used PayPal payment plan x4 😁 won’t drop $300 at once. Looking forward to it I’m hoping wearing my hair stretched will help with length retention.

[@warriorprincessharmony]

Finally!!! Something that makes sense for African hair. Can keep it natural and wash it regularly without needing to spend hours at the hair dressers every week.

[@MzApril1980]

Use light oil on you ends and comb or brush through halfway though to do not what snags so what's more smooth. I have one i will never use anything else.. my hair is so much thicker.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Glad to hear!!! I’m excited to keep using it

[@marymitchell9778]

Hello, thanks for the video! Do you still use this dryer? Have you experienced any breakage as a result of using it? I am thinking of getting this but wanted to get an idea of what the long term use does to your hair. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thanks

[@terenarosa4790]

Did you use heat protection before using it?

[@TrievaTheDiva]

Four questions.. 1) Did you use any heat protectant? 2) Didn't the instructions say Not to move up and down? 3) Did you ever try it that way? 4) And if so, what were the results?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Hello! 1. Yes I used chi 44 Iron Guard Thermal Heat Protection Spray. 2. I didn’t actually read the instructions! Shame on me. 3. I probably did move it up and down some this time around. 4. This is my first time using it actually. Haven’t used it again since

[@PlusVK22]

They say not to use oil on your hair while using the revair... And that's your sister's drier. I'd be annoyed if someone did that to mine 😂

She put the oil on her hair after she did each section. Well, that's what I saw. 😁

[@frantrinawebb779]

Thank you for doing this video. How long did it take to blow dry with the revair? Did it take longer or less time than the revlon brush?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

It was definitely less time!!! I wish I had recorded the full time but with detangling and all I’m sure it was under 2 hours..closer to 1.5. It was definitely less time than the revlon brush because I didn’t necessarily have to detangle as thoroughly first.

[@aj3974]

Thank you so much for this review!!!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

You are so welcome!

[@MsGolden97]

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Thanks!! ❤️

[@thingsilove18]

You have to remember that with the brush blow dryer you are constantly brushing through your hair which would lead to super detangled hair at the end. Whereas with the Revair, its only stretching your hair, it doesn't detangle. No blow dryer detangles unless a brush or comb is used. So I don't think the brush blow dryer is better per se. Plus I hear that the brush blow dryer uses an insane amount of heat compared to the Revair (kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGXceYilhKd_iJY). Your results are beautiful btw. Love your hair.

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Absolutely true! I think overall I’m ok with just stretching at this point in my journey. The results with the paddle brush blow dryer are beautiful but my hair needs a break from the combing, manipulation, and heat. This is a wonderful alternative that still gives me a reasonable stretch and takes me back to my roots of using the tension method earlier in my natural hair journey.

[@shannonarmstrong6364]

[@lorrainelashley3723]

Hi Nancy,I loved the video, as usual...lovely outcome! Perhaps I missed it but what heat setting did you use?

[@carinabrown930]

I'm curious to know how does that blow/reverse dryer leave your scalp? Was your scalp dry or still damp?

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Well I always air dry my hair first quite a bit before I do any type of blow drying so I decrease the amount of total time blow drying and heat used...so my scalp was dry by the time I finished. I can see how your scalp could still be potentially damp if you went straight to this without air drying a little first.

[@katemills5559]

How long do you air dry your hair before blow drying

[@mjgarner123]

Nancy, I love your new intro! Thanks for doing this review. Your results were absolutely gorgeous! I was curious as to the towel used to assist in the drying process, what leave-in did you use and did you use a heat protectant? Also were your roots straightened as well? Seems like it is worth the purchase. Happy 2021 to you and your family!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

Thank you so much! For heat protection I use CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection. I actually don't have a special towel (I know I'm being bad natural using a regular towel). The leave in I I used was just one my sister in law had on hand. I actually don't recall the name but will ask. I'm not a strong fan of any particular leave in at the moment.

[@mjgarner123]

@@EfficientlyNatural Thank you so much for the reply. I know you have had your hair straight for a while, was this an earlier filming or after converting back to curly hair?

[@Zania16ify]

Just beautiful! How are you able to comb out all the knots before blow drying? I am attempting to silk press my 4c hair later today, and I've already blow dryed it, but there are still minor knots? I wonder if knots are just inevitable with our coily kinks, or if there's truly a way to solve this somehow? God bless!

[@EfficientlyNatural]

I honestly think it’s inevitable...there are ways to get it all silky and knotless but that just involves even more manipulation/combing so to me it’s not always worth it. My hair is definitely more silky and essentially knotless when I use the revlon paddle brush but I have to be willing to make the sacrifice of getting more damage to my strands if I choose to do that.

[@Zania16ify]

@@EfficientlyNatural Thanks for sharing! I definitely feel the same and now I feel more encouraged. I'm just going to "silk press" it my own way without the chase method, way too damaging! Thanks again!

[@twitterblackdove]

@@EfficientlyNatural do you think it's in your wash routine? As I watch KZbin videos over the years, textured hair shampooed in twists doesn't lend itself to less tangling if styling with appliances afterwards, it's just for convenience. Let me ask you about using products with the Revair, is anything but water recommended? I thought they said the unit can clog? Does your sister-in-law use products with it? Thank in advance!
