Don’t know what the hell I’m doing here. I’m a man with a buzz cut. Hope all you ladies found what you’re looking for. Use the hell outta that brush girl.
I bought my Revlon volumizer about 2 months ago after my hair stylist recommended it. She said you will look like you just had a blowout and she was right! I recommended it to many of my friends!!!! I’m addicted to it!!!
I tried the Revlon dryer once and was very awkward with it so I was going to give it away and purchase the dry bar version. I am so happy that I haven’t given the Revlon one away yet because I just watched your tutorial on it and you saved my life, my hair, And a shit ton of money! You’re the bomb girl. I think the Bristle Section of the dryer is meant to be used to grab the hair at the scalp and then as you turn and move the brush down the flat part straightens the hair. The fact that the revlon has more bristles probably means it grasps more hair and that’s why it smoother than the dry bar. Just a little FYI… I read an article probably two years ago from an ex dry bar employee and they said that their products are the exact same as some of the less expensive brands...You basically are paying $150 for The yellow color.
I own both. Yes drybar leaves my hair little frizzy than the revlon. Revlon gives a smoother result but it’s very damaging. I have seen less hair fall with Drybar . The revlon just pulls on the roots and gets very hot . So in the longer run I think Drybar . 💜💗
I’ve been using the Revlon one since very shortly after it came out. It gives me the best style I’ve ever had. People think I’m getting my hair cut differently, but I’m not. It saves so much time versus a round brush and regular dryer. I use it every day, so I probably need to use some heat protectant.... Thanks for the video!
I LOVE my Revlon dryer! I use it on high, until the last 90 seconds or so, then turn it down a notch. No damage to my hair whatsoever! I'm 56, with mostly gray hair, and we all know that gray hair is frizzier. Other women with gray hair ask me how I get mine so smooth. I recommend this dryer every time. I find a lot of women are afraid to use high heat, and that's part of why it works so well. I once asked my hairdresser why I can't achieve the same smooth results she does, and she mentioned that hairdressers usually use higher heat than people do at home, for one thing. She also mentioned that stylists generally use more quantity of product than people do at home. Now, with my Revlon, I can just about match my hairstylist's results.
Because of your recommendation, I bought the Revlon brush styler. I have been using it for a few months. Like you, I love it! I have thick, wonky, coarse hair and this dryer makes my hair so much smoother and shinier. My hair is shorter than yours, but it works like magic on me too. I do switch from the high setting to the low setting when I find the high too hot. Thank you for the comparison demo. You always give us such good information. I appreciate your honesty.
Me too. Had the $150 one in my cart ready to click buy BUT THEN I decided to do more research and thank god I did LOL 😂 with my coupons I got it for $30! Works great....
I got the Revlon dryer after you showed it about a year ago. Ulta was having one of their 21 days of beauty and it was a hot buy and I think I got it for under $30!! I LOVE it. I have fine hair that also has gotten thinner with age and I use a styling product with it and use it on high and it works great! If I use the low setting it takes forever and ends up not coming out as smooth. So everybody has different hair and different things that work for them. You have to do what works best for YOUR needs and style. As long as your hair is and looks healthy , which it does, it is doing fine. I am happy with my Revlon and don't feel the need to spend $150 to buy a copy!
I use the Revlon regularly and use the ‘cool’ setting on my thick hair. It’s as powerful as the high and still warm, as I find the high setting too hot. I like it.
I like that the DryBar is a little smaller & wish that Revlon would come out with a smaller one, but I do love that Revlon makes my hair soft & smooth.
I bought the Revlon one after watching this video and am BEYOND pleased! If not for you, I wouldn’t have known to check it out! What a game changer! Thanks Risa!
I agree my hair turns out best when it’s more damp and high setting. Low doesn’t do anything for my hair. Revlon hands down got it done much quicker and more smooth. Thank you Risa.
I LOVE my Revlon brush so much! I also have to use it on the highest setting, but it never seems to damage my hair! Like yours, it makes it really silky! I use a heat glove with it as well. Glad to know you don't have to spend more to get great quality! Great review, Risa! xo
I love my Revlon dryer SO much!!!! It’s my favorite hair tool ever. I tried the BedHead one when that came out but...went back to the Revlon right away.
I'm still loving the Revlon.... I do let my hair airdry a little... I never thought about using a second product to heat protect before styling...thank u so much for buying the Drybar & providing such a great illustration... I'm sticking to my Revlon 💕💕💋
The texture of my hair and color is the same as yours. I could tell immediately when you began straightening your hair with the pricy Drybar it was a final. The Revlon is the epic winner in this showdown. Thanks for sharing this side by side review. I'm ordering the Revlon One Step Volumizer and Styler from Amazon ASAP.
I was one who bought the fake. I had no idea until I saw the Revlon on UA-cam. It works great. I referred the Revlon to my client. She immediately bought it and thanked me. She's in her mid 70's with thick shoulder length hair. She says it's the best she's ever used.
I’ve been using the revlon for over 2 years now and it’s my absolute favourite. The one I have now still works great, but the bristles are starting to fall out so I’m going to repurchase. My hair is hip length and curly and it gets my hair straight, sleek, and shiny in half the time as a blow dryer and flat brush. I will never go back! 🙌🏻
The fact that the drybar doesn't get as hot, I may try it. I tried Revlon and it got ridiculous hot. I didn't even finish bc I felt it would try my hair
I bought the Revlon dryer because of your recommendation. Got it on sale at Ulta and I had Ulta cash so i paid like 30$. Best. Money. I. Ever. Spent👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Never could give myself a good blow dry and now i can give myself one in 15 minutes! Thanks for the recommendation! Will not be getting the drybar one thought but thanks for the comparison👍🏼
I love my Revlon dryer and will not spend an extra $100 for the dry bar name. I have extremely long hair and my hair comes out shiny and smooth with the Revlon dryer. Definitely one of my holy grail products😊
I have one similar to the Revlon one that I bought through Amazon it was an Amazing deal. I LOVE IT! I have thick hair and it doesn’t take me as long to blow out my hair and Leaves it Smooth. Thank you for the Video 🦋💕🦋💕
I have used both. Revlon is a clear winner. Paying 150$ plus tax is too high for a product that doesn’t perform better. Thank you for your honest review.
Hello I just bought the revlon one and I love it! Yes it’s hot but I also have wavy hair so what I did was air dry and then use the low setting and it did dry with less time. I love this product!
I just bought the dry bar today and I have totally opposite hair than yours. But you've convinced me to at least consider buying the Revlon and giving it a shot. This was a great video helpful thank you
Ok, ladies, please remember to use hearing protection when using blow dryers. Most blow dryers are between 80-95 decibels and permanent hearing damage occurs beginning at 85 decibels. Combine that with dryers being held very close to ears for extended periods of time, often daily, so hearing damage is pretty much assured.
I can’t let my hair dry too much either, my curl would never come out if I did and it would look frizzy and terrible. The Drybar side looks like it took so much more work. Definitely purchasing the Revlon!
Avila Avila I just got the same Hot Tools one after the Revlon was getting too hot. I used it today and love it. Revlon $60...Hot Tools is now $39 on Amazon.
I am in LOVE with my Revlon dryer!!! I watched both you and Lisa J do tutorials/demos on the Revlon and went out and got it and have never looked back. I have extremely thick course hair and a ton of it. I can get an all most salon looking blowout . My daughter got one and my granddaughter wants one. I don’ need to use my flat iron except a tiny bit on my bangs. I have raved about it to all of my friends and I honestly get a ton of common my hair since I started using it - not kidding. It’s a miracle worker. My hair is in the best shape ever - my hair stylist says the same about mine and it’s growing - my friends actually thought I had hair extensions in lol I think your Revlon side looked smoother 👍👍👍😉 Thank you Risa - you’re the best!!🥰 Xo Tammy Roy🇨🇦
I used my revlon brush today for the first time, and I love it I thought it would be too big because I have fine hair, but its great feels healthier 😊👍
I was totally surprised by the Revlon as well!! I love it. Like you said, I would pay more for a better one but there is no reason since this works perfectly for me. Thanks for the review
I absolutely LOVE my Revlon dryer !! I use a heat protectant spray and the Catwalk root boost !! I have thick , wavy , fine hair , and girl the volume ! 🤓 It is so much like a professional blowout ! I have carpal tunnel and this makes it so easy !!! I do wish Revlon would offer other sizes as well though. Great video !! 🙋🏻♀️🍷
I just bought myself a Revlon for home ( and they too are Ionic) because it’s easy. I’ve been a Hairdresser and Master Colorist for over 30+ years. Heat is how we restructure curl without chemicals. Other wise we would have cold flat irons 🤣. ( Which would be damaging too) anyway we like simple tools at home sometimes too even if we own Dyson Dryer’s. Convenience and economical items make the World go round. Just keep using those Thermal protection products and you will be good!💜💜💜💜
I LOVE my Revlon Styler! I can't live without it. I have super thick, coarse and long hair...I unfortunately need the high heat or my hair would be a big frizz bar and will never dry. Thanks for doing this video! I've been trying to convince my friends that the Revlon dryer is probably one of the best ones on the market. BTW...I also double up on the heat protectant!
Yes, the noise! I almost feel like I should put some of those foam earplugs in my ears when I'm using my Revlon dryer. I think I will - that noise over time can actually harm your hearing, I suspect. But it does a great job on my hair! Thanks for testing these out together.
Thank you for this! I am literally standing in Sephora watching this video while debating buying the Drybar one (I have the revlon at home). You just saved me $160 🙏🏻
Im not sure about the Drybar as it just came out, but i for sure know that the revlon, and others like hot tools, are all made by a company called Helen of Troy. They look absolutely identical and only change in things like color. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the drybar one is also made by Helen of Troy.
Ready to have your mind blown? There is a warehouse in Japan where all Apple and Samsung, etc. parts are made with signs designating the different areas. ;-) Fact.
I just finished watching your first review on the Revlon Styler, and then I saw this video. I guess I don't need to ask if you still like it!! After watching both reviews and reading the comments, I'm going to buy it! I struggle with frizz and I'm hoping this will help. At the very least, I'm sure it will help give me some volume. Thanks, Risa!
I always wondered why my hair looks so smooth when I leave the hairdresser and I couldn't duplicate it. Same tools, products, etc. My then hairdresser told me it's the heat, she used the flatiron on very high heat when my temp setting at home was about half of what she used. It makes sense I guess. Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!
I always say initially with hair tools things seem the same in the beginning but over time you will notice difference in the amount of damage to the hair overtime. Why i love my Dyson over time my hair is in much better shape
Hi Kim, I can completely understand that argument when it comes to the Dyson vs Revlon, but not when comparing these two. There is no known differences in the technology. If the Drybar had improved on the technology in some way, I would think they’d be pointing that out instead of ignoring questions from consumers asking how it’s different.
@@kathymatthews5799 i hear you. I was lucky enough that my husband gifted it to me for a holiday but i understand the sentiment. I never would have bought it however now after owning it if i had to purchase it again i totally would
I use the Revlon also and bought one for my daughter who is not very hair tool savvy. We both love it and she loves the way it straightens her curly/wavy hair. I have wavy hair that dries frizzy if I don't use this dryer or a heat tools to smooth the cuticle.
I bought the drybar first and months after I keep telling myself I need to like it. (especially since I paid so much for it.) After looking at this video I’m so happy I’m not a crazy lady for not liking it! I’m off to buy a revlon dryer as soon as I get too it!
I can’t believe you have such curly hair! Me too but I get a Brazilian as mine is awful to style. I love the revlon and also the Dyson curler as it saves my hair from damage as it takes way less heat. Love you, Risa!
Sally Apple, it could, but take a look at the size of the shaft/ styling brush to see if that size would work for you. It gives volume, straightens & makes large curls.
Thank you so much for this video! I just replaced my revlon one step because it broke and I was debating whether I should splurge for the dry bar dryer and you helped me with this video!
The Revlon looked smoother AND had more volume. I’d say the difference is the high heat temps which may be important to some people. I’d be happy with the Revlon
That has got to be the most detail-oriented, clear and concise review I have ever seen - of anything! Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. I'm leaning toward the Revlon myself. I wonder if to offset the heat a little, would it help to have a fan pointed at my hair at the same time? Might sound crazy if it works, who cares?!
When your hair was just air dried and curly and you pulled the top section back, I thought wow she’s really pretty! Do what you think is best for you and never mind negative and bossy commenters. Remember Thumper’s father’s rule...iIf you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all... You’re showing people a product, then it’s on them to decide what is better for their very different hair. Thanks for the demo. I would buy the Revlon. They’ve been around for years and years and I’ve purchased many of their products and have never been disappointed and have spent much less money. From one naturally curly head to another...you go girl!
Revlon is the best thing ever! I have long thick curly hair and can’t believe how awesome it is. I am buying another in case it breaks on me. I’ve had it one year plus
Thank you so much for this video!!! Everyone's raving over the Dry Bar tool, and I just wasn't sure if it's worth it. And I have REALLY curly hair, so talking about heat and everything was helpful. Thank you!
It did appear that at first the Drybar made your hair frizzier or looked dried out, not healthy. I’m sold on Revlon, the look AND the price. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to illustrate. 👏
We are the same...I have the same texture! Although my hair is long right now....down to bra strap. I have fine hair and have found that keeping my hair on the longer side makes it seem thicker..if I cut it it looks thinner. This is a super interesting video!
I guess it just depends on your hair type! I tried both too and the revlon one works great for a bit but in the long run it made my hair so crunchy, frizzy, and dry😞 I love my Drybar one though, I practically got it for free since I used my Ulta points so the price didn’t bother me. I have hair down to my butt and it doesn’t make it all dry and frizzy! It’s great, but it doesn’t beat my T3 featherweight that I got at costco😊
I've been thinking about getting the drybar because of this. She did another video talking about how the revlon damaged her sister's hair and a lot of people commented the same thing because it gets super hot compared to the drybar one.
I would agree with the more damp hair coming out smoother than when it’s air dried first. At least in my experience. Also, I will never go back to a regular blow dryer.
I have the Revelon hair dryer and I do love it! I must say it gets so hot that when I am dry around my face so I have to turn it down to low, but it works great! Thanks 🙏
Loved your comparison of these dryers. I think you are right the dry bar side doesn’t look as smooth. It’s slight but it also took you a lot longer to achieve the look you wanted and for it not to be as good that would be a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the video!
THANK YOU for posting this! I have been waiting for someone to do this. I am one of the many commenters asking DryBar what the difference is and thought their silence was suspect. No shame in them getting into the one-step game but it was only a matter of time people would figure out it's the same product as the Revlon for $40. I'm sure they saw it coming and that's why they did online orders only at first.
I totally agree with you. They are a hair product company/blowdry bar so it’s completely understand-able that they would want to put out a tool like this. There are regular hair dryers of vastly different pice points of course, but those usually have obvious differences that the brands are proud to disclose.
@@RisaDoesMakeup Yep. I was actually hoping they were going to fine tune it and make it better somehow. I am like you - I'll shell out an extra $100 or so if it's better. There seemed like a lot of easy ways to make this higher-end and worth the cost (better ceramic plating, more heat settings, better bristles, something!). I am so glad you made this video before I bought one just to try it. I think you're the first person to do the comparison from what I can tell.
A year ago, I got the Drybar blow dryer, on sale, with a ton of product and accessories. I was fully prepared to return it. Except that my hair has never looked better. My hair still looks amazing so I will repurchase when necessary. I'd love to try this brush.
You are amazing!!!! I love your honest reviews .... I’m serious here. I love them. I’m giving this dryer another try- I had it and returned it - wasn’t sure it was better than my old school round brush / dryer method- Your always helping me ...
Oh bummer! I just purchased the Drybar one this week after contemplating. Usually, I am partial to higher end hair care products and appliances. Thus, I went with Drybar. Fingers crossed that its "all that" with my hair. TBD. Thank Gawd for returns 😉. Great video. TY for all of your videos, I'm lovin' em. I am a new subscriber and have already put some of your excellent advice into my beauty routine. Oh and some new fav products too.💋💗 💃🏻
I have the same hair texture that you have. In order to smooth out the waves and curls I have to use quite a bit of heat and also have to start styling my hair while its very damp. Thanks for the informative tips.
Risa, thank you for this video, not only for the comparison, but for the screenshots I took of your hair once dried. I've been wanting to get my hair cut shorter, and wanted a cut that was easy to style, yet still has enough length to put in up in a ponytail or messy bun. My hair stylist will be viewing the screenshots for my haircut. My hair texture is very fine, but I have a ton of it. Your style is perfect for my type of hair. Thank you, lovely lady, for providing your subscribers with honest and informative content. I will be saving enough money buying the Revlon dryer to pay for my haircut. Enjoy the holidays.
Great review comparison! I tried the Revlon brush and it was too damaging for my hair. It caused a bit of hair breakage and I stopped using it and got the Dyson AirWrap, which is far more gentle on my hair. In my hair, I found that the bristles snagged my hair a lot and it got SUPER hot! I have my Revlon brush to my best friend and she loves it and her hair looks amazing!!!
This video popped up in my recommendations and even though I have zero interest in the Drybar one, (I also have the Revlon one and love it), I thought this video was very thorough.
Thank u for this !! I have the same tool from Hot Tools, I just bought it and I’m in LOVE but when I saw Drybar had one I knew I had to at least try it !! You saved me $150 !!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 love your content
Don’t know what the hell I’m doing here. I’m a man with a buzz cut. Hope all you ladies found what you’re looking for. Use the hell outta that brush girl.
😂
So, I bought both.... and I found the Drybar easier to use for my small hands. Still grateful for your reviews.
Thanks
I think the Revlon side looks even a little smoother!
I agree!
Agreed
Me too
I noticed this too!
I bought my Revlon volumizer about 2 months ago after my hair stylist recommended it. She said you will look like you just had a blowout and she was right! I recommended it to many of my friends!!!! I’m addicted to it!!!

LOVE my Revlon One Step Volumizer. Revlon, please never discontinue!!!!!
You just saved me $150+!!! That never happens when I watch videos....usually works the other way around! Ha!
Lol, right?!?! I’m happy to help! 😃
Me too. Had the $150 one in my cart ready to click buy BUT THEN I decided to do more research and thank god I did LOL 😂 with my coupons I got it for $30! Works great....
I actually went to ulta and was about to get it but my husband said wait on it . So thank you for this video
was just about to comment the same!

As a licensed hairstylist, I totally agree with you. Wavy/Curly hair needs to be fairly wet to be blown smooth! It’s 💕
Found that it broke a lot of my hair... I do have fine thin hair..
I just bought the Revlon, can't wait to try, my hair is a little shorter than yours and not layered but I am hoping for good results!
I have a jaw-length bob and the Revlon does a great job on mine ... super smooth and great volume.
I bought the Revlon one after watching this video and am BEYOND pleased! If not for you, I wouldn’t have known to check it out! What a game changer! Thanks Risa!

@Tracy VanBragg please share the brand you purchased.
My observation, You can see a difference. The Revlon side is not frizzy and the Drybar side looks frizzy at the ends!!
Yep! Good observation 👍🏻
Yes, the Revlon side looks better.
Linda Gonzalez I noticed that too. For me I go with Revlon and much cheaper than drybar
AngelinaLuna yes true I noticed that too
Nila Azarcon i bought it and I’m so satisfied!
I agree when my hair is more damp, it's more smoother afterwards when I use my my Revlon One Step
I have used both. Revlon is a clear winner. Paying 150$ plus tax is too high for a product that doesn’t perform better. Thank you for your honest review.

I think your Revlon side looked smoother 👍👍👍😉
Thank you Risa - you’re the best!!🥰

I used my revlon brush today for the first time, and I love it I thought it would be too big because I have fine hair, but its great feels healthier 😊👍
I was totally surprised by the Revlon as well!! I love it. Like you said, I would pay more for a better one but there is no reason since this works perfectly for me. Thanks for the review
I love my revlon styler! I use it on low and it works great. My hair is nice and shiny. I have very wavy and frizzy hair.
I have the Revlon One Shot and I LOVE it. I have wavy hair also. I agree with your assessment of the two products.
Your natural curls look awesome on you.
I absolutely LOVE my Revlon dryer !! I use a heat protectant spray and the Catwalk root boost !! I have thick , wavy , fine hair , and girl the volume ! 🤓 It is so much like a professional blowout ! I have carpal tunnel and this makes it so easy !!! I do wish Revlon would offer other sizes as well though. Great video !! 🙋🏻♀️🍷
I don’t know how I got here but I’m so happy I did. Loved the video and how informative the video is. Also her make up is gorgeous 😍 she is beautiful.
I just bought myself a Revlon for home ( and they too are Ionic) because it’s easy. I’ve been a Hairdresser and Master Colorist for over 30+ years. Heat is how we restructure curl without chemicals. Other wise we would have cold flat irons 🤣. ( Which would be damaging too) anyway we like simple tools at home sometimes too even if we own Dyson Dryer’s. Convenience and economical items make the World go round. Just keep using those Thermal protection products and you will be good!💜💜💜💜
I LOVE my Revlon Styler! I can't live without it. I have super thick, coarse and long hair...I unfortunately need the high heat or my hair would be a big frizz bar and will never dry. Thanks for doing this video! I've been trying to convince my friends that the Revlon dryer is probably one of the best ones on the market. BTW...I also double up on the heat protectant!
Yes, the noise! I almost feel like I should put some of those foam earplugs in my ears when I'm using my Revlon dryer. I think I will - that noise over time can actually harm your hearing, I suspect. But it does a great job on my hair! Thanks for testing these out together.
Thank you for this! I am literally standing in Sephora watching this video while debating buying the Drybar one (I have the revlon at home). You just saved me $160 🙏🏻
I'm changing up my style a bit and going lighter and smoother so decided to pick up one of these tools. I appreciate the comparison.
I wouldn’t be surprised if both products are made at the same factory in China with minor physical modifications. They seem too similar
I wouldn’t be surprised either.
Lorraine from Miami , agree!
Im with you on that Lorraine. The public don't know really. :-)
Im not sure about the Drybar as it just came out, but i for sure know that the revlon, and others like hot tools, are all made by a company called Helen of Troy. They look absolutely identical and only change in things like color. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the drybar one is also made by Helen of Troy.
Ready to have your mind blown? There is a warehouse in Japan where all Apple and Samsung, etc. parts are made with signs designating the different areas. ;-) Fact.
I just finished watching your first review on the Revlon Styler, and then I saw this video. I guess I don't need to ask if you still like it!! After watching both reviews and reading the comments, I'm going to buy it! I struggle with frizz and I'm hoping this will help. At the very least, I'm sure it will help give me some volume. Thanks, Risa!
Love the Revlon. I use it on the low setting. My hair is fine. Low is more than enough.
I always wondered why my hair looks so smooth when I leave the hairdresser and I couldn't duplicate it. Same tools, products, etc. My then hairdresser told me it's the heat, she used the flatiron on very high heat when my temp setting at home was about half of what she used. It makes sense I guess. Your hair is absolutely beautiful!!!
I always say initially with hair tools things seem the same in the beginning but over time you will notice difference in the amount of damage to the hair overtime. Why i love my Dyson over time my hair is in much better shape
Hi Kim, I can completely understand that argument when it comes to the Dyson vs Revlon, but not when comparing these two. There is no known differences in the technology. If the Drybar had improved on the technology in some way, I would think they’d be pointing that out instead of ignoring questions from consumers asking how it’s different.
I’m sure the Dyson is a wonderful product, but there is no justification, for me, for spending hundreds of dollars on a hair dryer
@@kathymatthews5799 i hear you. I was lucky enough that my husband gifted it to me for a holiday but i understand the sentiment. I never would have bought it however now after owning it if i had to purchase it again i totally would
I use the Revlon also and bought one for my daughter who is not very hair tool savvy. We both love it and she loves the way it straightens her curly/wavy hair. I have wavy hair that dries frizzy if I don't use this dryer or a heat tools to smooth the cuticle.
I bought the drybar first and months after I keep telling myself I need to like it. (especially since I paid so much for it.) After looking at this video I’m so happy I’m not a crazy lady for not liking it! I’m off to buy a revlon dryer as soon as I get too it!
I can’t believe you have such curly hair! Me too but I get a Brazilian as mine is awful to style. I love the revlon and also the Dyson curler as it saves my hair from damage as it takes way less heat.
Love you, Risa!
Would this dryer- Revlon work on short hair.
Sally Apple, it could, but take a look at the size of the shaft/ styling brush to see if that size would work for you. It gives volume, straightens & makes large curls.
Thank you so much for this video! I just replaced my revlon one step because it broke and I was debating whether I should splurge for the dry bar dryer and you helped me with this video!
The Revlon looked smoother AND had more volume. I’d say the difference is the high heat temps which may be important to some people. I’d be happy with the Revlon
I have no idea why I am so interested in this video, I essentially have a pixie cut.
Kim McConnell lol
Same.
Kim McConnell 😂🤣🤣🤣
Kim McConnell Me too!!! 😂 My daughter does have very thick wavy hair so I am investigating on her behalf!
Lol same 😂
That has got to be the most detail-oriented, clear and concise review I have ever seen - of anything! Thanks so much for taking the time to make the video. I'm leaning toward the Revlon myself. I wonder if to offset the heat a little, would it help to have a fan pointed at my hair at the same time? Might sound crazy if it works, who cares?!
When your hair was just air dried and curly and you pulled the top section back, I thought wow she’s really pretty! Do what you think is best for you and never mind negative and bossy commenters. Remember Thumper’s father’s rule...iIf you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all... You’re showing people a product, then it’s on them to decide what is better for their very different hair. Thanks for the demo. I would buy the Revlon. They’ve been around for years and years and I’ve purchased many of their products and have never been disappointed and have spent much less money. From one naturally curly head to another...you go girl!
The Revlon dryer is the one for me. I cannot stand when high end slaps their name on something at a lower price and pretend it’s better.
Thank you! I've been looking at these drying brush things and just hesitating to take the plunge. Thank you for doing the work of comparing.
Revlon is the best thing ever! I have long thick curly hair and can’t believe how awesome it is. I am buying another in case it breaks on me. I’ve had it one year plus
Thank you so much for this video!!! Everyone's raving over the Dry Bar tool, and I just wasn't sure if it's worth it. And I have REALLY curly hair, so talking about heat and everything was helpful. Thank you!
Woah it's incredibly helpful to see this on someone with the exact same hair (well yours is cut and colored nicer than at the mo). Thanks!
I have been looking into buying one and I think you just saved me money big time! I really like the revlon one it looks way less frizzyer
It did appear that at first the Drybar made your hair frizzier or looked dried out, not healthy. I’m sold on Revlon, the look AND the price. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to illustrate. 👏
I love your natural texture! I think the Revlon side looks better. Smoother.
You look good in your natural curly hair 😊
We are the same...I have the same texture! Although my hair is long right now....down to bra strap. I have fine hair and have found that keeping my hair on the longer side makes it seem thicker..if I cut it it looks thinner. This is a super interesting video!
Thanks for making this video! I have been torn between which dryer I should buy.
I really love my Revlon One step. Really smooths out the hair shaft. But you MUST use a heat shield for protection.
I love 😍 my Revlon and I hope they are reading your comments and make different sizes.
I guess it just depends on your hair type! I tried both too and the revlon one works great for a bit but in the long run it made my hair so crunchy, frizzy, and dry😞 I love my Drybar one though, I practically got it for free since I used my Ulta points so the price didn’t bother me. I have hair down to my butt and it doesn’t make it all dry and frizzy! It’s great, but it doesn’t beat my T3 featherweight that I got at costco😊
I've been thinking about getting the drybar because of this. She did another video talking about how the revlon damaged her sister's hair and a lot of people commented the same thing because it gets super hot compared to the drybar one.
Wylona do it! I got an email saying Ulta is having a sale on Drybar styling tools, I would check it out!
I would agree with the more damp hair coming out smoother than when it’s air dried first. At least in my experience. Also, I will never go back to a regular blow dryer.
Your make-up is absolutely beautiful!! Thank you for the product demo...it helped me to make my mind up on which one to buy.
I have the Revelon hair dryer and I do love it! I must say it gets so hot that when I am dry around my face so I have to turn it down to low, but it works great! Thanks 🙏
I love the revlon styler. My hair is extremely wavy and it smooths it out. Thanks for doing this.
Loved your comparison of these dryers. I think you are right the dry bar side doesn’t look as smooth. It’s slight but it also took you a lot longer to achieve the look you wanted and for it not to be as good that would be a deal breaker for me. Thanks for the video!
For what it's worth, Risa, I think your natural waves are really pretty!
THANK YOU for posting this! I have been waiting for someone to do this. I am one of the many commenters asking DryBar what the difference is and thought their silence was suspect. No shame in them getting into the one-step game but it was only a matter of time people would figure out it's the same product as the Revlon for $40. I'm sure they saw it coming and that's why they did online orders only at first.
I totally agree with you. They are a hair product company/blowdry bar so it’s completely understand-able that they would want to put out a tool like this. There are regular hair dryers of vastly different pice points of course, but those usually have obvious differences that the brands are proud to disclose.
@@RisaDoesMakeup Yep. I was actually hoping they were going to fine tune it and make it better somehow. I am like you - I'll shell out an extra $100 or so if it's better. There seemed like a lot of easy ways to make this higher-end and worth the cost (better ceramic plating, more heat settings, better bristles, something!). I am so glad you made this video before I bought one just to try it. I think you're the first person to do the comparison from what I can tell.
A year ago, I got the Drybar blow dryer, on sale, with a ton of product and accessories. I was fully prepared to return it. Except that my hair has never looked better. My hair still looks amazing so I will repurchase when necessary.
I'd love to try this brush.
You are amazing!!!!
I love your honest reviews .... I’m serious here. I love them.
I’m giving this dryer another try- I had it and returned it - wasn’t sure it was better than my old school round brush / dryer method-
Your always helping me ...
Oh bummer! I just purchased the Drybar one this week after contemplating. Usually, I am partial to higher end hair care products and appliances. Thus, I went with Drybar. Fingers crossed that its "all that" with my hair. TBD. Thank Gawd for returns 😉. Great video. TY for all of your videos, I'm lovin' em. I am a new subscriber and have already put some of your excellent advice into my beauty routine. Oh and some new fav products too.💋💗 💃🏻
I have the same hair texture that you have. In order to smooth out the waves and curls I have to use quite a bit of heat and also have to start styling my hair while its very damp. Thanks for the informative tips.
I bought my Revlon dryer brushes yesterday and I love it!! It’s on sale at Walmart for $48.58 or something like that. I will never use a straightener
Risa, thank you for this video, not only for the comparison, but for the screenshots I took of your hair once dried. I've been wanting to get my hair cut shorter, and wanted a cut that was easy to style, yet still has enough length to put in up in a ponytail or messy bun. My hair stylist will be viewing the screenshots for my haircut. My hair texture is very fine, but I have a ton of it. Your style is perfect for my type of hair. Thank you, lovely lady, for providing your subscribers with honest and informative content. I will be saving enough money buying the Revlon dryer to pay for my haircut. Enjoy the holidays.
Thank you for reviewing these products. I love your style! You included every question I had.
Great review comparison! I tried the Revlon brush and it was too damaging for my hair. It caused a bit of hair breakage and I stopped using it and got the Dyson AirWrap, which is far more gentle on my hair. In my hair, I found that the bristles snagged my hair a lot and it got SUPER hot! I have my Revlon brush to my best friend and she loves it and her hair looks amazing!!!
Thank you! Going to buy the revlon from target now!
The Revlon side looks smoother and the hair looks shinier. I did notice; however, the dry bar side had more volume.
I just picked up the Revlon one on Amazon for $29 my sisters have as well and love it!
Thank you for this!! I've been debating buying the Revlon one
Your natural wavy hair is beautiful!
This video popped up in my recommendations and even though I have zero interest in the Drybar one, (I also have the Revlon one and love it), I thought this video was very thorough.
Thank u for this !! I have the same tool from Hot Tools, I just bought it and I’m in LOVE but when I saw Drybar had one I knew I had to at least try it !! You saved me $150 !!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 love your content
