Suffice it to say: I am a haircare junkie. From conditioning treatments to unique shampoo formulas, I go to great lengths to ensure my strands keep healthy and soft at all times.

And while I’ve already told you about the $6 hair mask I can’t live without, there’s another beauty tool that’s become a mainstay in my morning routine: the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush.

A two-in-one hairdryer and styler, this best-selling beauty tool is nothing short of amazing (it has more than 35,000 reviews to back it up) — and right now, Amazon Canada shoppers can score one on sale for up to 23 per cent off.

What is it?

The Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush combines the power of a hairdryer with a unique oval brush design to dry, smooth and style your hair in a single motion.

The hot air brush rounds the edges of your hair while creating volume at the root for full-bodied, salon-quality blowouts at home.

It’s designed with tufted bristles to detangle your strands and has two heat and speed options and a cooling option to set your style.

Why I love it

I have been a loyal fan of the Revlon hot air brush for more than a year and I can honestly say it remains one of my favourite beauty buys.

Thanks to the Revlon brush, I can now go from just-washed hair to a silky, professional-quality blowout in under 20 minutes, a feat I could not previously dream of.

I find it works best when I dry my hair in layers and use the lowest heat setting. Because, as a word of caution, I once used the highest setting in a closed-door bathroom, and when I opened the door, the steam set off my smoke alarm (all was fine).

I am such a devout fan of the hot air brush that I have not only convinced my mom and sister to get one, but several of my friends now own the top-rated beauty tool.

‘This thing is a miracle’

Earning more than 25,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers say the Revlon hot air brush will do nothing short of “change [your] life.”

“This thing [is] a miracle,” writes one user. It was “revolutionary for me.”

It’s “a game-changer,” echos a second shopper. It gives you “smooth and very soft” hair with minimal effort and shaves off “about 30 minutes” of getting-ready time in the morning.

“I have very intense curly hair,” writes a third shopper; think “Cabbage Patch doll” meets “Sideshow Bob.” This tool “blew my mind;” my hair went from wet to dry, straight, and soft in less than 20 minutes. “Don’t tell my husband,” but doing my hair and having these results “almost made me happier” than the “day we got married!”

While the vast majority of reviews say the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush is “easy to use” and “efficient,” some Amazon shoppers note the styling tool is heavy and say the handle is “uncomfortably thick.”

It’s difficult for “smaller hands to maneuver,” writes one user.

Verdict

With thousands of glowing reviews, Amazon reviewers and I agree that the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush is an absolute must-have for any beauty cabinet. To score one on sale (trust me, it’s worth it!), click here to shop.
