I need ALL the advice I can get. At this point in my life, my hair is about 80% grey, which i love! But the frizz!!!! Those grey hairs are like a spoiled child that does whatever the heck it wants. I cannot blow dry my hair without it ending up in a pony tail. Will the round brush make my hair nicer with less frizz? UPDATE!--- i bought the huge round brush and i was completely amazed!!! My very-curly grey hair usually requires a professional blowout to be straight. THIS brush gave me the exact same results as a professional blowout in 15 minutes!!! My dry, coarse, frizzy hair was smooth and silky without a curl in sight. Not only that, but my hair remained straight for THREE DAYS! This is the best purchase I've ever made for my hair!! I absolutely love this brush and would highly recommend it.
I think hair type plays a role here. I have the paddle brush, but my hair is kinky coarse curls. I can't use nylon bristles directly on my wet hair, it would just rip it out. However, I can use the paddle brush and it gets my hair fairly smooth. After my hair is dry I could use the oval one without fear of damage and maybe to smooth a bit more. At that point I would just go in with a flatiron, because I wouldn't blow dry my hair twice. Just thought I'd add a different perspective.
theLady0019 I have curly/wavy hair thick hair and I was wondering how that would work on me. I cannot blow dry my hair at all, I have tried so many times and I always end up looking like a lion 😅 so thank you for clarifying that and it makes sense
Your paddle brush must be broken. It’s perfect for curly or ethnic hair! I’ve had one for about 2 years and the air flows thru the whole brush. I can straighten my hair so much faster with it.
I have the round styler and bought it after I saw your first video. I took it camping this past summer and as I was drying my hair in the women's bathroom, I think half a dozen ladies asked me where I got it. It just works. I look like a Brillo pad in the summer with humidity and frizz, but with this thing my hair turns out really nice even on the hottest days. It's a win.
It is a win! My hair is wavy/frizzy and I’ve always kept it short/shorter. This tool is a game changer and I’m growing out my hair. I’ve always wanted the smooth look and with the Revlon Styler I have it.
Love reading comments like yours. From the second I saw her video I've wanted to get the rounded one. Scared my hair will be different then hers and others,so I like hearing good things about it from different people.
I've seen this paddle brush used in other types of hair, very curly hair, and the girls using it loved it. I think this is intended for curly rather than straight hair and this is why it's not working for you. But the round one works wonders on your hair 👍
I did buy the paddle brush- the reason I chose it over the oval brush is because I have very fine hair that tangles super easy with the double bristle brushes and I was concerned it would tangle in the oval one too. I also have a lot of hair and I do have to say I don’t sweat using the paddle brush like I used to with a regular hair dryer. I would recommend the paddle brush to others who have hair types that tangle easy as the wider bristles don’t yank out chunks of hair, or worse, pick up hair from below that you don’t want. 😊
I agree. I preferred the paddle brush to the round one. Simpler, but same effect in my opinion. I found that with the round one I couldn't even be bothered to twist it anyways. The only thing is you can't get it too close to the scalp but my curls don't start until further down my hair so it doesn't bug me.
I’ve had that exact paddle brush for 2 years now and I’ve LOVED it. I have frizzy curly hair. It’s not new at all unless they changed something about it however mine looks identical to that. Same brand. Mine does way better. Maybe that one is broken Mine does my whole hair in about 10 minutes top and my hair is super long
Hi, I have medium length hair which is quite fine and I Don't have a lot of it... After watching your 1st video on the REVLON Volumiser I ordered it and it was the best thing I have ever bought... I get so many compliments and I think, if your hair feels and looks good, it just makes you feel so Good too xx
Bought mine on your recommendation. And I have pain in my hands. Used to use round brush and blow dryer. With this I didn’t notice how different it was until I had to use the brush and blow dryer one day after only using the revlon for weeks. . For myself with painful hands the revlon is much easier for me to hold and I can hold it with both hands if I need to. It’s hard to explain but I want to thank you for showing this product.
You said that you wondered what type of hair the paddle brush would be good for, speculating whether or not it would be good for really long hair. I'm black with really coily kinky hair that when curly is at neck level but when straight is mid-back (#shrinkage) The Revlon paddle brush dryer is freaking amazing for when I choose to heat stretch my hair. It doesn't get it bone straight but it does a good job of drying and straightening my curls in a short time. And if you really want to straighten your hair then this dryer helps to cut the flat ironing time probably by half. It used to take over an hour to stretch my curls with a blow dryer and paddle brush the traditional way (painful too). The Revlon paddle dryer takes 20-30 mins max and no pain or breakage. If you have curly, coily, kinky hair this dryer will work for you.
me too! I love it, I have thick curly hair and the paddle brush leaves it almost wavy and it only takes me 15 minutes to get 90% dry, my hair straight is also mid-back :)
This is crazy! I was just trying both to see which one I liked better. I bought the paddle one first and I loved it but I wanted to try the other one because I’ve heard amazing things about it. So I did and I preferred it over the paddle one. The paddle one just leaves my hair straight while the other one gives me some volume and style!
Marlene Flanagan right!!??? I have shit hair and zero talent at styling it, and yet my hair looks like I just got out of my stylist’s chair with the oval one.
I personally love the paddle brush, I owned both but the oval one gave way too much volume. I have thick naturally volumous hair so the oval made it overboard. But I love my paddle brush! It works perfect.
I finally bought the oval Revlon based on your recommendations and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I think the addition of the bristles makes it much more smoothing and what you look for in a blowout. Love the side by side comparisons! :)
I just wanna say Thank You 🙏🏼 for bringing the oval version into my life 💖🌹. I have very thin hair and not a lot of it and this thing is magic. It’s easy to use and I look like I just came from the hairdresser. 😘
Wow I didn’t know a blow dryer that can do this even existed. My old regular revlon one just died on me and I need a new one and I am so happy I found your video. Thank you so much for doing such a great tutorial. The round one styled your hair so beautifully. I need to get this!!
Milabu! I just saw a video ad on FB with footage of you trying this out and raving about it. But it’s not an ad for Revlon, but a knock off brand instead! 😱
I got the oval one and at first I wasn't loving it BUT! As soon as I realized you can use both hands to control it it worked a lot better! I am liking it now.
I have thick hair, and a lot of it!! and the paddle works well on my hair. Actually for straighten my hair I prefer the brush over the hair dryer, maybe the round one is the best option for thin hair!!
I have both. The first one I bought was the paddle brush and it was a total failure. I took a long time to comb my hair and it left a spongy texture. But the round one is fantastic, leaves my hair very soft an shiny and it takes much less time to comb it. I love it!
I believe that the oval barrel is best suited for ur hair just the fact it is straight where as ppl with curly or kinky coily hair the Paddle brush is the best use because it aids in the detangling process whilst drying the hair
maybe one day you can do a video talking about combs and paddle brushes and for what they are made for ....... I don't know I think it would be interesting because I see you using different ones and I don't know what the difference is so....
I had been using the John Freida hot brush for several years and loved it. I bought the oval Revlon after watching your videos and am really enjoying it. The only thing I wish it was lighter. I have wondered about the paddle brush one but I didn't realize that there were only nylon bristles. Thanks for the video. I will stick with the oval one!
Based on your recommendation in your last video, I just ordered the oval one. I got it from Target even though I have Amazon Prime. They're the same price. The reason I went with Target is because they have a longer return window than Amazon. I just want to be sure I like it and it doesn't break down. I will keep you posted on how it works out for my fine/frizzy/full hair. Thanks for the video! xo
I bought the paddle brush one for my preteen daughter who has thick curly butt length hair. It didn't work so well. Her hair dries pretty fast so I figured this would work to speed up the process but it left her hair frizzy and damaged looking. I do better with my hair dryer and my own paddle brush. I ended up buying the oval one and it was a dramatic difference. I love the oval brush!!!!
I bought mine in a second hand store it was new still in the box for $12. It’s amazing it works really good my hair is think down to my waist and it dried it and styled in 10 min. 🥰
I don't now why I love these videos so freaking much. I already have the round One Step Styler but I'm still hooked watching reviews and comparisons. I LOVE that damn dryer so MUCH!
i love the round one.. its awsome for my hair. dries and straightens and adds volume🥰🥰 i watched your review before buying it and one word for u thank u 😍😍
Hi Milabu, do you think you could maybe do a video talking about "affordable" hair care. I have frizzy curly hair and I straighten my hair a lot because my hair is so unmanageable. I would really like to have a hair care routine but I have no idea what to even use or go with. It would be really awesome if you could help those of us who can not afford the more expensive hair care items but still want to take good care of our hair! Thank you for the video!
Hi Shannon, I have got through many curly girl hair routines and bought many inexpensive and some very expensive products. This is what has worked well for me. eBay has an ion hot hair brush, found mine for $28, and I also use Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie ($10 at WM) have had the smoothie for 7 weeks and still it’s half full. Even wearing my hair straight I still use this product as it works great for straight or curly styles protecting and keeping frizziest at a minimum. Hope this helps. There are many curly girl routines on youtube to look up, women will straight hair can not identify or know how different naturally curly hair is to work with!
i think the paddle brush should have been brushed through the strand with the brush held vertical, not horizontal like a regular paddle brush so you can have a more even blow out
Having curly/wavy thick hair I bought the oval ion round brush, I really like it but thought about getting my daughter that has very straight hair the paddle brush. Thanks for reviewing it as now I know that the paddle one would be a huge waste of money 💰! Will say though that every though I have shorter hair my oval brush doesn’t get my roots dry and I use it at least 20 minutes. 🤷🏻♀️guess it’s the thickness but I just resolved to accept that’s all it would do, however like you said the top frizzes once it completely dries, not bad but it’s frustrating.
I bought mine right after you did that first video what 11 months ago. Yes I’ve seen those fake adds on Instagram with you using it, I always report it. Oh I’ve since purchased 2 more as backups, I never want to be without one.😘
sooooo I know you probably don't have this issue BUT.. PLEASE talk about dandruff remedies and what works. Its a real issue especially in winter time. Thank you!
Your hair is not suppose do be wet, but humid to wet. We have the same kind of hair and the paddle brush do wonders in my hair. I absoluty love my paddle one.
You know you are a good creator when you have viewers that will never use one of the products that you’re reviewing but still watch the whole video #ME
Yeah for a lot of people who can't use dual hair brushes 'cause they stick to the hair which gets stuck in our hair and or rips out a lot of hair, that dryer isn't for us, but the paddle brush is just fine for us. Nice idea, but it seems like the airflow is the issue with the paddle brush. I'd get it, but I guess they need to work on that.
KelliConan I have the paddle brush (got it on special offer so thought I’d give it a shot) and mine works fine, my hair is kind of frizzy and usually gets stuck in round brushes so I tend to avoid them, and the paddle brush really helps tame my frizz 😊 I think she must have had a broken one?
The paddle brush is for coarse kinky hair while the round one works for creating volume and sleek styles on hair that is curly but not so thick. I have the round one and it is the best hot tool ever.
I got the one-step original in walmart at the clearance section tonight for 25 bucks!!! For anyone who wants to snag one at a lower price...this is your chance!!!
Thanks for mentioning about not buying on Instagram! I was super close to buying it from there! I really appreciate your reviews. I’m definitely going to pick one up soon!!
Hi Milabu 👋 Yes I agree with you the round brush is awesome but let me tell you this; I have long thick hair and the first time I used it, it pulled quite a bit more strands of hair from my scalp. This oval brush it good for short hair. If you have the type of hair like mine, best to gather less amount of hair in sections to dry/voluminous & style it. Just giving you my experience. Thanks Milabu, it was through you I bought the round brush, I love it. 🤗👐💖
Paola Fernandez del Castillo Frias mine works perfect too! I have hair almost to my ribs, and it’s amazing to just get my freaking hair dry and sleek! Haha cause I always curl it anyways!!
I've seen the paddle brush in stores way before I heard about the Oval One Step and it never got my attention. I don't know if it's the exact same one bc I didn't know the one I've seen was a blow dryer, I thought it was more like those straightening brushes but never looked closely at the box so I could be wrong bc it looks exactly the same. My Revlon One Step Oval brush is sitting in an Ulta box waiting for me in TX. bc I'm currently away and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
I love the Revlon Volumizer so much and learned about it from your channel. My mom tried mine and also loved it, and I got it for her for Christmas. Thanks for another great review.
I watched your first trial on the round Revlon and was hooked. Unfortunately it's not sold in Australia or New Zealand so I bought a fake on Alibaba. So I'll let you know what I think. The product on Alibaba looks identical. Thanks for your video.
I usually avoid trendier hair tools, but after watching your review, I purchased the Styler and Volumizer. I cannot say how much I love this thing and how happy I am that I got it! It is sooooo worth the investment. I feel like it dries just as fast as my blow dryer, but since it's one piece, it's easier to handle. Also, my hair comes out so soft, no frizz, and is manageable for days! Love it, thank you for always checking out these products for us!
Thank you for this. Regarding those fake ads, another influencer pointed out that that you never hear her say the product’s name in the ad. It’s a great clue. If the influencee doesn’t mention the product in the ad, it’s probably fake
I have very curly hair,have the padle brush one and im very pleased. eventhoug i have to finish with flat iron, i love it anyways, because it cuts the drying process in half. but i'd like to try the one with bristles, im pretty sure with that one i wont have to use the flat iron. Tip: when you use the padle brush passes slowly, so that you dont have to repeat it several times and It doesnt damage your hair.
I believe you 100% that the paddle version didn’t work. However, I wonder if you just got a dud one. Wonder if anyone else had the same complaints...? Shame it didn’t work, given how much you like the other Revlon styler. 😞 x
She is right about the airflow and heat coming out mostly at the top. I have seen other complaints that the handle gets very hot but that is not my experience. From my experience (having kinky curly hair) and other reviews I've seen on YT I think this brush is better suited for curlier hair types. Us curly peeps can't use the round brush dryer because the boar bristles would probably tangle or rip out our hair.
Thanks for the review. I purchased the oval Revlon based on your recommendation when it went on sale at Ulta in October (scored it for $29.99!) and talked at least 3 friends into buying too (they also all love btw). Quick comment about the fake ads - have you considered taking legal action? At the very least you might be able to send a cease and desist letter to the companies using your footage without permission and get them to stop using it. It might be worth getting an attorney for that. Especially when they’re making money using your image for their profits. You didn’t give them permission to do that so I would think there is a leg to stand on if you spoke with someone with far more knowledge than I. Thanks for the video! Always value your opinion! 😊
I have the round one and so far I love it. The only thing is the cool setting doesn’t get cool. It feels the exact same as the low setting. How cool does yours get?
Happy Sunday girl💗 Thank you for doing this comparison, now it’s clear to me which dryer to spend my money on. My hair is textured just like yours so worked out great for me. I have been in search for a great leave in protectant for our type hair. My go to has been it’s a 10 miracle leave in product, it works but at times leaves my hair to flat.. So Can you do a test on some other products similar that might work better not leaving our hair too soft and flat. Love you girl and don’t be a stranger we do enjoy allllllll ur tutorials. XOXOX
Anyone who got ripped off on-line should submit a dispute with their credit card company. They can research your claim and charge back the retailer. (Not all credit cards offer this type of service/guarantee.) It can take a couple of months for this process, but it's worth a phone call to get your money back.
I stumbled on your channel when I was looking for reviews on the rounder styler and I've enjoyed bingeing on all your earlier reviews. I'm an older lady growing out a pixie (uugh - will I ever do it?) and think I'll have to wait until my hair is a bit longer to purchase it. Thank you for this video, as I was considering the paddle brush, too. I look forward to your videos and I just subscribed.
I have a medium/short bob, fine, straight hair. I initially bought both of the dryers, to see which one I liked better. 1. At first, I liked the paddle one better. I returned the round one, because it was heavy to work with, it snagged my hair and I lost a lot of it, and it gave me a round bob, which I didn't like. I like straight hairstyle. 2. I continued using the paddle brush, but then I realised that I don't like the fact that (as pointed in this video) the air comes out only at the upper part of the brush. And one more thing (this goes for both brushes) - the low setting is too low, and the high setting is too hot! How about something in between? I ended up returning the paddle brush as well, because I realised that I get better results when using my normal hairdryer, and hair straighter after! This is a good idea for a product, but needs improvement. For now, I can see this type of product working for long hair, or curly. Otherwise, it's a waste of money, at least for me.
I wonder if the paddle one is defective..?? But I got the round one based on your review the first go round and I haven't used my hair dryer since! Thank you for changing my life :)
I feel like maybe the paddle brush is more for short or ethnic hair because of how the air is directed and the barrel brush is more for medium to long hair
Question for people living in Europe about the rond brush dryer, the same tool in Europe is 800 watt and the American version is 1100 watt, have you tried it? Is there a difference in how hot it can be? Usually wattage effects how hot a tool can get. Please answer your help is highly appreciated 😊 thanks.
I bought the Revlon round brush after watching your videos about it. Mine seems to get so hot, even on the lowest setting, that I can’t even grab the section of hair I’m working on because my hair is so hot after brushing that it burns my hand :(
What do you do with all the hair products and equipment that you try out? I have a vision of you having a room filled with stuff lol I love your Vlogs and I love the fact that you will always tell the truth and give an honest opinion xxx
WOAH! Congrats on 1 million! I only just noticed so I don't know if I'm late to the party to say congrats lol You are defo my top choice of hair channel! 💕
i respect you now so much because i bought the bad brush and it was sooo bad and when you said the same notes of mine about it i trusted your reviews even moore ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you compare Hot Tools brush to Revlon brush? It’s at Sally Beauty Supply. It’s comes in a purple color. I believe it works just as well. I truly trust your reviews.
I wish +Revlon would make one like the oval brush but smaller so I could wrap my hair around it like a curling iron and give my hair a wave. I have short hair like yours so waving my hair with the huge oven brush is impossible. I do love it for a good blow out though!
I love the Revlon volumizer. BUT it takes up sooo much room in my carryon bag for travel. Any suggestions for a dupe for traveling? Or suggest to Revlon for a "travel size?" Thank you!
You literally made me buy the volumizing brush, luckily I bought mine on Black Friday when it was half off 😁 I noticed you only used leave in conditioner... Do you not use a heat protectant? I've used my brush with and without heat protectant and noticed a big difference, my hair looks WAY better when I don't use a heat protectant....
I have the oval and love, love, love it except the highest setting is to hot for me. I use mine like a paddle brush in addition to using the rounded shape. I have a short bob to my jaw line. I have this and the conair rotating brush dryer that I love and switch between.
I bought my Paddle brush online on Ulta on Black Friday for $19.99 I have only used it few times since and last night it broke down I’m really sad because I really like it. I think I might buy the round brush and try it.
Too bad the better one isn’t vegan, but wanted to see a review of the paddle version. Can you maybe do reviews for vegan hair products? Pacifica has many that look interesting!
The paddle brush works better on curly/afro textures.
I need ALL the advice I can get. At this point in my life, my hair is about 80% grey, which i love! But the frizz!!!! Those grey hairs are like a spoiled child that does whatever the heck it wants.

I had been using the John Freida hot brush for several years and loved it. I bought the oval Revlon after watching your videos and am really enjoying it. The only thing I wish it was lighter. I have wondered about the paddle brush one but I didn't realize that there were only nylon bristles. Thanks for the video. I will stick with the oval one!
Based on your recommendation in your last video, I just ordered the oval one. I got it from Target even though I have Amazon Prime. They're the same price. The reason I went with Target is because they have a longer return window than Amazon. I just want to be sure I like it and it doesn't break down. I will keep you posted on how it works out for my fine/frizzy/full hair. Thanks for the video! xo
I bought the paddle brush one for my preteen daughter who has thick curly butt length hair. It didn't work so well. Her hair dries pretty fast so I figured this would work to speed up the process but it left her hair frizzy and damaged looking. I do better with my hair dryer and my own paddle brush. I ended up buying the oval one and it was a dramatic difference. I love the oval brush!!!!
I bought mine in a second hand store it was new still in the box for $12. It’s amazing it works really good my hair is think down to my waist and it dried it and styled in 10 min. 🥰
I don't now why I love these videos so freaking much. I already have the round One Step Styler but I'm still hooked watching reviews and comparisons. I LOVE that damn dryer so MUCH!
i love the round one.. its awsome for my hair. dries and straightens and adds volume🥰🥰 i watched your review before buying it and one word for u thank u 😍😍
Hi Milabu, do you think you could maybe do a video talking about "affordable" hair care. I have frizzy curly hair and I straighten my hair a lot because my hair is so unmanageable. I would really like to have a hair care routine but I have no idea what to even use or go with. It would be really awesome if you could help those of us who can not afford the more expensive hair care items but still want to take good care of our hair! Thank you for the video!
Shannon Cole i noticed that you said you have frizzy curly hair. I HIGHLY recommend looking up curly girl method. It was life changing for me.
Hi Shannon, I have got through many curly girl hair routines and bought many inexpensive and some very expensive products. This is what has worked well for me. eBay has an ion hot hair brush, found mine for $28, and I also use Shea Moisture curl enhancing smoothie ($10 at WM) have had the smoothie for 7 weeks and still it’s half full. Even wearing my hair straight I still use this product as it works great for straight or curly styles protecting and keeping frizziest at a minimum. Hope this helps. There are many curly girl routines on youtube to look up, women will straight hair can not identify or know how different naturally curly hair is to work with!
i think the paddle brush should have been brushed through the strand with the brush held vertical, not horizontal like a regular paddle brush so you can have a more even blow out
Having curly/wavy thick hair I bought the oval ion round brush, I really like it but thought about getting my daughter that has very straight hair the paddle brush. Thanks for reviewing it as now I know that the paddle one would be a huge waste of money 💰! Will say though that every though I have shorter hair my oval brush doesn’t get my roots dry and I use it at least 20 minutes. 🤷🏻♀️guess it’s the thickness but I just resolved to accept that’s all it would do, however like you said the top frizzes once it completely dries, not bad but it’s frustrating.
I bought mine right after you did that first video what 11 months ago. Yes I’ve seen those fake adds on Instagram with you using it, I always report it. Oh I’ve since purchased 2 more as backups, I never want to be without one.😘
Because of the shape of the paddle brush, you can’t get close to the scalp .
sooooo I know you probably don't have this issue BUT.. PLEASE talk about dandruff remedies and what works. Its a real issue especially in winter time. Thank you!
Can’t wait for her hair to be a lot longer and she’ll start making braids and vids for long hair instead of short 😭❤️
Your hair is not suppose do be wet, but humid to wet. We have the same kind of hair and the paddle brush do wonders in my hair. I absoluty love my paddle one.
m Stolendays I have it too, and mine is great! Tames my frizzy hair really well
Just want to thank you for all your advice, at 36 I now have great hair and I use many of your styles on my 3yr old! :)
You know you are a good creator when you have viewers that will never use one of the products that you’re reviewing but still watch the whole video #ME
Yeah for a lot of people who can't use dual hair brushes 'cause they stick to the hair which gets stuck in our hair and or rips out a lot of hair, that dryer isn't for us, but the paddle brush is just fine for us. Nice idea, but it seems like the airflow is the issue with the paddle brush. I'd get it, but I guess they need to work on that.
KelliConan I have the paddle brush (got it on special offer so thought I’d give it a shot) and mine works fine, my hair is kind of frizzy and usually gets stuck in round brushes so I tend to avoid them, and the paddle brush really helps tame my frizz 😊 I think she must have had a broken one?
The paddle brush is for coarse kinky hair while the round one works for creating volume and sleek styles on hair that is curly but not so thick. I have the round one and it is the best hot tool ever.
I got the one-step original in walmart at the clearance section tonight for 25 bucks!!! For anyone who wants to snag one at a lower price...this is your chance!!!
Thanks for mentioning about not buying on Instagram! I was super close to buying it from there! I really appreciate your reviews. I’m definitely going to pick one up soon!!
Hi Milabu 👋 Yes I agree with you the round brush is awesome but let me tell you this; I have long thick hair and the first time I used it, it pulled quite a bit more strands of hair from my scalp. This oval brush it good for short hair. If you have the type of hair like mine, best to gather less amount of hair in sections to dry/voluminous & style it. Just giving you my experience. Thanks Milabu, it was through you I bought the round brush, I love it. 🤗👐💖
I think yours is broken, I have it and the air flows perfectly even. And I love it.
I was thinking the same. A flawed product.
Paola Fernandez del Castillo Frias mine works perfect too! I have hair almost to my ribs, and it’s amazing to just get my freaking hair dry and sleek! Haha cause I always curl it anyways!!
They are used for different things. The paddle brush has been a Best Buy for me honestly
I've seen the paddle brush in stores way before I heard about the Oval One Step and it never got my attention. I don't know if it's the exact same one bc I didn't know the one I've seen was a blow dryer, I thought it was more like those straightening brushes but never looked closely at the box so I could be wrong bc it looks exactly the same. My Revlon One Step Oval brush is sitting in an Ulta box waiting for me in TX. bc I'm currently away and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
I love the Revlon Volumizer so much and learned about it from your channel. My mom tried mine and also loved it, and I got it for her for Christmas. Thanks for another great review.
I watched your first trial on the round Revlon and was hooked. Unfortunately it's not sold in Australia or New Zealand so I bought a fake on Alibaba. So I'll let you know what I think. The product on Alibaba looks identical. Thanks for your video.
The paddle brush is more for kinky curly or coily hair. The oval one is for straight hair like yours.
I usually avoid trendier hair tools, but after watching your review, I purchased the Styler and Volumizer. I cannot say how much I love this thing and how happy I am that I got it! It is sooooo worth the investment. I feel like it dries just as fast as my blow dryer, but since it's one piece, it's easier to handle. Also, my hair comes out so soft, no frizz, and is manageable for days! Love it, thank you for always checking out these products for us!
Love your videos! Your reviews are so thorough, and it seems like each one is exactly what I’ve been wanting to watch!
Thank you for this. Regarding those fake ads, another influencer pointed out that that you never hear her say the product’s name in the ad. It’s a great clue. If the influencee doesn’t mention the product in the ad, it’s probably fake
Thanks Mila, now I know what to buy, and don't waste money, time, etc. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Please please Malibu can you do a video of your favourite leave in conditioners. I’m super stumped on what’s best for my hair and adore your channel
I use the round brush! I love ❤️ it!
I was on the fence about buying the round brush one. I'm going to get it ! Thank you for this video!!
I got my round styler at Ulta and it was the best thing ever! My sisters and nieces love it and they seriously need to get their own :)
Thanks for the reviews...good to know. Think I'll stick with my $20 hairdryer and round brush.
I have very curly hair,have the padle brush one and im very pleased. eventhoug i have to finish with flat iron, i love it anyways, because it cuts the drying process in half. but i'd like to try the one with bristles, im pretty sure with that one i wont have to use the flat iron. Tip: when you use the padle brush passes slowly, so that you dont have to repeat it several times and It doesnt damage your hair.
Have you ever done a video on the ConAir Spin Brush? 🥰
I believe you 100% that the paddle version didn’t work. However, I wonder if you just got a dud one. Wonder if anyone else had the same complaints...? Shame it didn’t work, given how much you like the other Revlon styler. 😞 x
She is right about the airflow and heat coming out mostly at the top. I have seen other complaints that the handle gets very hot but that is not my experience. From my experience (having kinky curly hair) and other reviews I've seen on YT I think this brush is better suited for curlier hair types. Us curly peeps can't use the round brush dryer because the boar bristles would probably tangle or rip out our hair.
Thanks for the review. I purchased the oval Revlon based on your recommendation when it went on sale at Ulta in October (scored it for $29.99!) and talked at least 3 friends into buying too (they also all love btw). Quick comment about the fake ads - have you considered taking legal action? At the very least you might be able to send a cease and desist letter to the companies using your footage without permission and get them to stop using it. It might be worth getting an attorney for that. Especially when they’re making money using your image for their profits. You didn’t give them permission to do that so I would think there is a leg to stand on if you spoke with someone with far more knowledge than I.
Thanks for the video! Always value your opinion! 😊
I got this for my sister for her birthday!
I have the round one and so far I love it. The only thing is the cool setting doesn’t get cool. It feels the exact same as the low setting. How cool does yours get?
Happy Sunday girl💗 Thank you for doing this comparison, now it’s clear to me which dryer to spend my money on. My hair is textured just like yours so worked out great for me. I have been in search for a great leave in protectant for our type hair. My go to has been it’s a 10 miracle leave in product, it works but at times leaves my hair to flat.. So Can you do a test on some other products similar that might work better not leaving our hair too soft and flat. Love you girl and don’t be a stranger we do enjoy allllllll ur tutorials. XOXOX
Anyone who got ripped off on-line should submit a dispute with their credit card company. They can research your claim and charge back the retailer. (Not all credit cards offer this type of service/guarantee.) It can take a couple of months for this process, but it's worth a phone call to get your money back.
I love the paddle brush one for when I need to dry my hair quickly, but for volume I like the round one.
I stumbled on your channel when I was looking for reviews on the rounder styler and I've enjoyed bingeing on all your earlier reviews. I'm an older lady growing out a pixie (uugh - will I ever do it?) and think I'll have to wait until my hair is a bit longer to purchase it. Thank you for this video, as I was considering the paddle brush, too. I look forward to your videos and I just subscribed.
I love the paddle brush 😀
Can you do a review of the 3 barrel hair curler?
They say you can get beachy waves too, but i dont see how it would work?
I've been looking at both of these..sooo glad you reviewed both!
I have a medium/short bob, fine, straight hair. I initially bought both of the dryers, to see which one I liked better. 1. At first, I liked the paddle one better. I returned the round one, because it was heavy to work with, it snagged my hair and I lost a lot of it, and it gave me a round bob, which I didn't like. I like straight hairstyle. 2. I continued using the paddle brush, but then I realised that I don't like the fact that (as pointed in this video) the air comes out only at the upper part of the brush. And one more thing (this goes for both brushes) - the low setting is too low, and the high setting is too hot! How about something in between? I ended up returning the paddle brush as well, because I realised that I get better results when using my normal hairdryer, and hair straighter after!
This is a good idea for a product, but needs improvement. For now, I can see this type of product working for long hair, or curly. Otherwise, it's a waste of money, at least for me.
I wonder if the paddle one is defective..?? But I got the round one based on your review the first go round and I haven't used my hair dryer since! Thank you for changing my life :)
Finally got my hands on one and just used it! Love the way it makes my hair look and feel. Thanks for the videos!
“The air dynamics are completely crap and I’m being as nice as possible” 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I’d hate you see your bad side. 😂
The paddle one was a big fail it ripped my platinum blonde hair out. Lol and then it didn’t dry my hair 🥺
I feel like maybe the paddle brush is more for short or ethnic hair because of how the air is directed and the barrel brush is more for medium to long hair
You should do the dry bar reviews!
Please do reviews on l’ange hair products!!!
Question for people living in Europe about the rond brush dryer, the same tool in Europe is 800 watt and the American version is 1100 watt, have you tried it? Is there a difference in how hot it can be? Usually wattage effects how hot a tool can get.
Please answer your help is highly appreciated 😊 thanks.
I bought the Revlon round brush after watching your videos about it. Mine seems to get so hot, even on the lowest setting, that I can’t even grab the section of hair I’m working on because my hair is so hot after brushing that it burns my hand :(
What do you do with all the hair products and equipment that you try out?
I have a vision of you having a room filled with stuff lol
I love your Vlogs and I love the fact that you will always tell the truth and give an honest opinion xxx
WOAH! Congrats on 1 million!
I only just noticed so I don't know if I'm late to the party to say congrats lol
You are defo my top choice of hair channel! 💕
I love how honest you are! And you are a beautiful person! Remind me of my daughter. Xo
i respect you now so much because i bought the bad brush and it was sooo bad and when you said the same notes of mine about it i trusted your reviews even moore ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can you compare Hot Tools brush to Revlon brush? It’s at Sally Beauty Supply. It’s comes in a purple color. I believe it works just as well. I truly trust your reviews.
I wish +Revlon would make one like the oval brush but smaller so I could wrap my hair around it like a curling iron and give my hair a wave. I have short hair like yours so waving my hair with the huge oven brush is impossible. I do love it for a good blow out though!
Your hair colour is absolute goals 😍😍😍
I bought that one and tried it a couple months ago and totally agree with you!
I love the Revlon volumizer. BUT it takes up sooo much room in my carryon bag for travel. Any suggestions for a dupe for traveling? Or suggest to Revlon for a "travel size?" Thank you!
Becky Bigelow agreed wondering how to store it traveling without bending bristles.
You literally made me buy the volumizing brush, luckily I bought mine on Black Friday when it was half off 😁
I noticed you only used leave in conditioner... Do you not use a heat protectant? I've used my brush with and without heat protectant and noticed a big difference, my hair looks WAY better when I don't use a heat protectant....
I have the oval and love, love, love it except the highest setting is to hot for me. I use mine like a paddle brush in addition to using the rounded shape. I have a short bob to my jaw line. I have this and the conair rotating brush dryer that I love and switch between.
I bought my Paddle brush online on Ulta on Black Friday for $19.99 I have only used it few times since and last night it broke down I’m really sad because I really like it. I think I might buy the round brush and try it.
Too bad the better one isn’t vegan, but wanted to see a review of the paddle version. Can you maybe do reviews for vegan hair products? Pacifica has many that look interesting!
