Best Affordable Blow Dryer Brush: Revlon One Step Volumizer Plus 2.0
The Revlon One Step Volumizer Plus ($45, originally $70) is one of (if not *the*) most famous — and most affordable — hot air brushes on the market. It features four temperature settings (cool, low, medium, and high) and a detachable brush that can pack away easily, be it under your sink or in your carry-on. Plus, it's editor-approved. Check out our in-depth review of the Revlon One Step Volumizer Plus.
What we love:
- The Revlon One Step Volumizer Plus is widely available both in real life and online and is available via Amazon Prime if you want it to land on your doorstep ASAP.
- As implied by the name, this is the second iteration of Revlon's popular device. The newer model has a smaller barrel brush to get closer to your roots and, thus, achieve more volume.
Who it's best for:
- It has a combination of tufted and boar bristles, which Ellis deems best for "thicker hair or textured hair because it will allow for more tension to help get the hair smoother and decrease frizz."
- It's also great if you need your hairstyle to last. Our editor said: "The biggest difference I noticed between this brush and others I've used in the past is how well my hairstyle stayed put. Although I think I've pretty much mastered the '90s blowout, I've often found that the look can fall throughout the day if I don't use a ton of hairspray or texture spray. I didn't use either after the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer, and my flipped-in ends lasted even after a night of sleeping on them."
Who should avoid it:
- If you're looking for a blow dry brush that comes with different styling attachments, you may want to consider a different device (see: The Dyson Airwrap Styler, the Shark FlexStyle, and the T3 Airbrush Duo Hot Air Blow Dry Brush.)
The Details:
- Heat Settings: 4 (low, medium, high, cool) | Cord Length: 6ft| Bristles: Tufted boar bristles
