Of course there's a discount code after I ordered one 2 weeks ago😭!
Can you pin this comment, please? I did a screenshot, but for those who watch later. 😊
I need the spray bottle my sister broke it 😔and more clips I am also a #MelaninCare supporter # OGNaptural85Fan
I got receipts 😂😂😂😂
I can’t stop commenting cause Again I have the old version I got it when it first can out natural since 2003 it’s the best but the fact they made it smaller 😢😢😢😢 it’s still the best better then Dyson etc but I guess I will live ❤❤❤
Every time I turn around, your hair is long af again!!
Exactly what I was thinking. Her hair doubled in size inside 2-3 years.... And I'm still at the same length 😂
Riiiight! I agree with you.
Right ❤❤❤❤
I feel like she has a button on her back that she just presses to grow her hair.😂 It grows SO fast!!
Yep and i struggllee🫣
I was gifted this exact RevAir bundle for Christmas and I think it’s the best gift I’ve ever received. I’ve literally wanted one for years but I didn’t think I’d use it enough to justify the price but boy was I wrong! I am forever grateful to have been gifted one.
I thought the same thing! I am so so glad that I got the new one since it is so much smaller than the original
When you pay $400+, nothing should be breaking or sparking.
To be fair tho, I’ve had it for MAAANY years! AND, I’ve traveled with it, and given it out to people to borrow on their own, so there’s been a lot of wear and tear out on it 💯💯❤️
It only has a 1 or 2 year warranty
@@LayLa-jw4pr Oh Noooo! I was close to purchasing this contraption years ago. I'm glad I reconsidered. The REVLON paddle brush hair dryer works great, and it was only $35. I have had it for at least 5 years.
@Marsha that brush causes more breakage
@@tsuyuasui7297 yes tore my hair up!
It's so amazing how fast your hair grows.
Hey Whit!! Just a heads up: In the instructions, it says to not have it on high temp with tension level 1! There's not enough airflow going through and it'll get much hotter than it's supposed to! with levels 2-7, you can put it on high🥰 I bought this revair for the blackfriday sale, and they can take all my monies xD I'm SO IMPRESSED. Such a wonderful device!! Thanks for the tutorial!!😂😂
How much was the discount around BF? That is when I make my big ticket purchases. Thanks for the heads up on the heat. I always wondered was ot really that great of a dryer.. I have shoulder issues and just detailing is tough and with this you have to deranle each price before drying.
@@DivaDen I think last year it might it was at least $100 off. I remember informing my friend. I do the same thing, I try to save big ticket items to BF.
@@DivaDen The black friday total package was 399 (normally over 540 I think), and the revair + the bonus weekender bag ($50)was around $340-360. The black friday sale lasted a long time (until January, was renamed Total Sleigh package sale but the same discount) I personally saved up for years and bought the total package and other accessories. I also got insurance to make sure that it would be covered for at least 4 years since it was an investment😅♥
About the shoulder injury...honestly the revair can be a little arm intensive because of holding it. But for me, I just rest my arm on my knee (or a counter) as I Rev. If you're unsure, know that during black friday sales, you have 60 days to try it before returning (Jan 31st). I would also recommend getting the wand holder to make it easier to put down, because that holder that comes with the machine isn't that secure aka the wand fell off a few times. Good luck to you!!😍
Whitney we just love you!!! Can we just acknowledge how your hair grew back super fast just gorgeous 😍!!!
Right hair for days
For anyone else have a part issue: The wand and hose of the new model works interchangeably with the old model. Revair designed it that way. So you have the option of just getting the replacement part or having the new unit that is compatible with the old pieces.
My boyfriend bought me this for Valentine’s Day. I love it. My cat just jumped so hard when you were demonstrating how smooth the sound is lolz

YES MA'AM! I am so thankful for this Whitney. I've actually contacted them for an upgrade & and wanted an honest comparison before doing so. Thank you!
Yay! I’m so happy this helped!! 🥰🥰❤️
I didn’t think I needed to watch yet ANOTHER Revair tutorial, yet here I am. And Whitney’s already given so much useful NEW to me information in the first couple of minutes. Well done, Whitney.
Whitney, I am so happy you came back to YT and still helping us with our hair! Girl, out of all the YT’s I’ve been watching for years, you out of everyone I trust you the most!! Thank you!!
I had the same fight with myself and I ended up selling the old one. I got the weekend duffel bag to store mine. Really helped with the dust. The smaller size was definitely worth the upgrade.
I used mine this morning after my stylist used it on me at the salon. I was so impressed with her Rev Air v Dyson test. The RevAir results were amazing and smoother than the Dyson. 25 minutes to RevAir my entire head which will be faster once I get the hang of using it. I didn't realize those were hair ties and cut them off. 😮

I’m so glad I found your channel all those years ago. You’re the ONLY person in this platform that I’ve found that has the same amount of hair as me and similar textures. And to see you embrace your volume and care for it so well….it means so much to me. I was always made to feel bad for having “too much hair”…it’s just a gift. You’re stunning. When my hair grows back I’m def getting one!
Today I popped into SPACE NK in the UK to purchase all 4 of your Melanin products. I've only used the hair cream before.
I'm looking forward to trying the other 3 products and affect on my hair 😊
Thanks, I didn't know the products were available in the UK I just checked the website 20% off at the moment ❤

It is definitely better due to the size, but I dislike that you have to wrap the cord. If it was retractable, it would have been perfect. I won the first one during the annual November giveaway a few years ago and purchased the new one Nov 2022. It is so worth it, if you want to stretch your hair without heat damage or as a step-one to straighten your hair.
I have the travel bag that zips up.
Oooh! A travel bag that ZIPS?!? 👀👀 I missed that one! And that retractable hose idea is genius! 🙌🏾 I hope they see it! ❤️
@@Naptural85look up, weekender bag on their website.
Yessssss! Retractable....
I've been saying (to myself) the hose needs to be retractable too. I would be fine if nothing changed but that. The hose is the biggest flaw of the whole machine. Storage, weight, amount of hose actually needed...
Because of you and your videos, I ordered the new Revair for Christmas! Seeing your past videos on the Revair let me know that I had to have one! Love the fact that it isn't as big and bulky as the original. My girl's hair looks so great after using the Revair! Thanks Whitney!

Mine lifted slightly too and I just tied a band around it. But so happy that you mentioned that I can buy a replacement part! I do this for many things and didn’t think about it for this since I use rarely with my locs!!! Love it!!

It’s the density for me.🔥🔥🔥
If you do have the old one and want it, resale it and buy the new one. That's what I did, and it sold instantly.
Whitney I am watching the video and I am sure I will love it. I wanted to ask if you can give tips on doing a silk press at home with revair or blow dryer. What products make our hair prepped to do the silk press and what products should we use along with how to get silky without heat damage. Love ya and sooooo excited your back. ❤🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾
XOXO!! Thank you so much sis! Yes! I was meaning on sharing my silkpress routine last MAY!! Lol! But then everything went crazy and I put it on the back burner. It’s on my list to share soon! ❤️❤️
@@Naptural85 I can’t wait, love how products have evolved and I love my Melanin products…. the plumping deep conditioner has me moisturized on day 5 of my wash and go.
@@Naptural85 yes girl I have been waiting for that tutorial 😅
I love the revair!! I’ll never go back to regular blow drying
Congratulations 💫!🎊🎊 You’ve been selected amongst my winning draw. 🙏Please drop me a message on telegram ,to claim your prize🎁🍾🤗
Would love to see a completely Protein-free moisturizing deep conditioner in the Melanin haircare line. 🤞🏽
And I’d love to see aloe free products. But that’s a tall order
I just want a travel set so I can try out the shampoo, leave-in, and the cream or oil before committing to full size products.
We so love that you are back. I am loving the videos. You look amazing.
If you have the original revair the instructions state if using air speed level 1 use low or no heat. ( Do not use the high ( II ) tempetature setting unless using an air speed level of 2 or higher. The instructions may be diferent with the new revair.
I’ve been using your products Exclusively for months and my hair loves it! My favorite is the multi use oil I looooooe it !

At one point they offered current owners a pretty nice discount to purchase the new one, but I think that was when it first came out. I ended up finding someone to buy my old one for $200 (or $250?). That plus the discount made me super okay with the purchase. I agree, it's worth it. Very much a time saver, especially when you have very thick, long hair. Oh! I didn't get the new bag, but I kept the old one.

I bought a RevAir a few weeks ago. The thing arrived on the 3rd day! Yes, the 3rd day! It ships fast. I did not purchase the bundle because I did not need the clips. But now I wish I had because I need somewhere to store it and the storage bag would be prefect. So, now I need to order the storage bag for it separately. Would be cheaper to have bought the bundle😮💨. But I'm loving the RevAir! I bought it because it took almost 2 hours to blow dry my 13 year old daughter's waist length natural hair. With the Rev it took 40 minutes🥰and her hair was so soft, shiny and moisturized. Can't wait to use it for my hair after I take out my protective style. Only bought it because I trust Whitney's reviews 😊❤. Thank you!
Worth the investment...so much easier. The best & only accessory I brought was the nozzle holder. Also, purchased the protection plan
I just store back in the box & slide under the bed...works for me.😊

I had the big bulky one. My handle did the same thing. Came out with wires showing. I replaced the handle and the same thing happened within 3 months of minimal use, I eventually threw the entire thing away. Hopefully, I will get to try out the new one soon. Thanks for Sharing
Also, check for a local business that will recycle your old electrical items, like hair dryers🤗 before throwing them out.
Your hair is sooo beautiful 😍
😃 Thank you!! ☺️☺️☺️
Your hair grows so fast! It’s insane.

That hair grew back fast. Glad your doing better
My husband bought me the RevAir for christmas and I want to like it so bad, but I swear I dont. I prefer my Revlon brush more, but I'm going to keep trying.
Just curious, why don’t you like it?
@allblackeverything206 I didn't like it because I didn't know how to operate it properly for my hair . Now, I know I have to use smaller sections and hold it in that section for atleast 90s. It's a pretty good tool and I love it now. I use it to stretch mine and my daughters hair, and on my husband's locs!
Your hair came out gorgeous as always

I've been wanting one for like a year now.....I'm so glad you're doing a review
Whit!!! I’m screamin and crying at the same time. Happy emotions, of course! I have had my Revair for abt 6 months and Im just now able to sit down and see videos about it. You’ve taught me something I’m sooo grateful to see. I didnt want straight all the time and it is so good to know I have options! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
Yoo. I was planning on going to watch your previous RevAir reviews because I was fixing to finally buy one. GREAT timing
I love the way that you use the ReVair to stretch your coils, and I was SOO curious to see if you'd think the update is worth it. So, I'm really glad you decided to make this video (RIP to your old ReVair though lol). Thank you!!! I feel like I can buy it w/o worrying now lol
I’ve had my revair for almost 2 years and I absolutely love it. I use it for stretches twist outs or blow dried looks. I don’t like how big it it but I’m definitely not buying a new one. Luckily it fits in my linen closet so I’ll deal with it but I’m not throwing away $350
Whitney, I died a little when you said you threw it out. But like you said, "the more you know"
The end result is amazing !!!
Thank you! I’m happy you liked it Audrey!! ❤️❤️
Yep it's great and I like the look you achieved with the new one!
Congratulations💫🍾🤝!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Whitney,
If it makes you feel any better, mine also broke down and I contacted the company about it. Mine was under warranty so I got a replacement nozzle for free but because of the plastic they used in the first one they informed me that anything outside of their products was going to deteriorate the Revair. Needless to say, my new nozzle broke down after three more weeks.
So... I also bought the new Revair and because they used like... Titanium or some kind of metal (probably aluminum), with a special coating so it doesn't overheat, to build it this time I don't think it'll break down nearly as easily.
(Always love and appreciate your videos and products! Thank you for what you do!)
I would love to see you try Dyson's new airstrait!
You have over a million subscribers. Hopefully Dyson can send you one to review!
My RevAir broke in the same place. ☹ But their customer service is great and they sent me a replacement.👍
Where exactly did it break?
WOW, your hair is GORGEOUS!
What styling products do you use, before you dry your hair.
And, what is your favorite manual dryer?
I've and this for about 4 years now. I love it and it works wonders on my son hair who is extremely tender headed

Nice! I love the result it gave you and that we can still see beautiful curl patterns, your hair is not straight and flat.👍🏽
I still have the OG revair and love it. It tripped my breaker a few times so I just turn off things I'm not using. I'm wondering if the smaller one has the same voltage otherwise I think I'll keep the original. Love your hair it looks beautiful.

Do you use a special heat protectant with the RevAir? I know it says no oil one is recommended. Just tryna see any recommendations for the black folks
I’m so mad to see how much I neglected my hair 😢 your hair is my wake up call
I wish they would do a good trade in discount if you have the old one. That would be nice and they could recycle the parts.
Your hair looks so amazing 😍😍😍😍 adding the RevAir to my Black Friday wish list 😌

Your hair is BEAUTIFUL and healthy!! I love that style, and your hair has so much volume body and bounce to it. I've enjoyed watching this video and working towards healthy hair...not worrying about how long it takes to get long, although it's a good length now.
Your timing is amazing! I was just thinking about buying this. THANK YOU!!! PS. Thanks for the promo code too. 😍🤩

Loved this review. Your hair is so beautiful and healthy as always! Looking for to more of your videos. I’ve been following you for YEARS!
Oh hell yeah girl!!! Lol your editing us amazing!! Over there styling your hair and flaunting it like model. Keeping doing your thing.
I just bought it! Thanks Whitney! I can’t wait to use it.
Okay now after seeing yours I'm not sure which one I have because mine came with a bag. I bought one for an early Christmas gift. It is expensive but it has saved me so much time when I do my silk presses or stretching my hair I even use it on my daughter and she is not afraid of it.
Whitney, the hose is shorter. But I also thought the Level II heat on the wand is more hot with the updated RevAir.
I cannot wait to get one! I don't live in the US so will have to come through one day to buy this!
I didn't think I could put my twist inside to dry it thank you cuz this is a life saver
It seems like a vacuum cleaner mechanism.. but for hair. Dope. I do want one.❤
Thank you for your review! It’s a life saver for a natural. I love it! I’m going try your settings because my ends don’t look as good as yours yours.
XO! I’m so happy you enjoyed the video Reign!! If your ends are a little rough, give them a trim! If they’re healthy but still looking rough, make sure you twist your hair all the way down to the very ends! THEN dry them in the revair while the twists are still in, making sure that the ends are completely dry BEFORE you unravel them to continue drying. That will make sure that as you’re stretching the hair, your ends stay looking curly! And yes! Reducing the tension is key! 💯💯❤️
I love your hair. I've been watching you shortly after you started UA-cam. Thanks for all the tips and reviewing the new Revair. Congratulations on going to cosmetology school.
There is hope for me ! Im gonna have to do the textured look ❤ I don’t like how straight my hair gets with the revair. I prefer the fluffy cloud or textured look.
You got such beautiful hair. I enjoy watching your videos. You teaching me to love and take care of my hair.
My husband bought me the new one for Mother’s Day. It’s just been sitting in the box because I wasn’t sure what to do with it but I’ll try this for sure. Thank you.
Thank God it’s smaller, it was like having a vacuum cleaner for your hair, boy what a difference 😊🤗
I’ve been planning on buying this for a while and now I get a notification that you posted this video. Waaahhhh! Why do you do this to meeeee?!😂
I love you! I’ve been a subbie for over 10 years.

Timely video. I just bought one, used it the other day, very nice and of course your hair is always beautiful, Whit.
Replacement parts should be free tbh!
Thank you for this review. Revairs customer service is top notch. They sent me a new hose because the old one stopped llatching and shortly sfter I noticed a crack in the nozzle and they sent a new nozzle and informed me that mine was sent before they included instructions to NOT use oil. The rep said they later learned that oils caused the plastic to crack. If using ouls caused your nozzle to fall apart they probably wouldve sent you a new one because yours was purchased before mine. On the other hand since you paid for this it reinforcess that you think its worth it. I think I saw instructions that mentioned tapping at the scalp with the nozzle and I noticed that keeps ot from getting too hot on my scalp.
"It still looks like a penis"😂🤣😂🤣 I HOLLERED! #WheresTheLie
Damn, you sold me on this high ass dryer. I hope they ship to Japan
Warning to everyone looking for old revair parts, my wand broke just like Whiteny's and I ended up finding the replacement products on the site. I ordered the part and they sent the new revair's wand which is not compatible with the old model, after contacting they said that's the only replacement available, so don't waste your energy.
I just got mine today & tried one section of my hair and I absolutely love it. Can't wait to do my entire head tomorrow.
Thanks for reviewing tI’m definitely buying this. I keep getting the ad for it. Btw your hair is beautiful
Hair has always been/looked so full and healthy 😍😍
You look beautiful, Whitney- thank you for such a thorough review!
