The viral dryer brush that cuts styling time in half, for under $50.
7.8
KADS SCORE
Quick Take
The Revlon One Step earned its viral fame by making bouncy blowouts achievable for non stylists. It is fast, easy, and cheap. The heat runs high, so fine haired users should stick to the lowest setting and use protectant. For the price, nothing styles faster.
Loves
- Dries and styles in a single step
- Oval brush head adds volume at the roots
- 1100W with 3 heat settings plus a cool shot
- Under $50, a fraction of salon tools
- Huge time saver for medium length hair
Not For
- Runs hot and can damage fine or fragile hair
- Bulky head is awkward for travel and small hands
- Durability complaints surface after a year of use
- Not ideal for very curly or very long hair
The Details
Full Review
Quality
The One Step pairs a powerful dryer with an oval bristle brush in one chunky tool. The mixed bristles grip hair smoothly for tension while drying, and the cool shot button helps set the style. It feels sturdy enough for the price, though the large head makes it a countertop resident rather than a travel companion.
Value
At $49.99, the One Step costs less than a single salon blowout while delivering decent results for years. Premium hot air brushes cost three times more for marginal gains. Just budget for heat protectant and possibly a replacement down the line.
You’ll Love It If
Buy it if you blow dry regularly and want salon smooth results with less effort.
Skip It If
Skip it if your hair is very fine, damaged, or very curly, where the heat and brush shape work against you.
FINAL VERDICT
The Revlon One Step earns a 7.8: a genuinely useful styling shortcut held back by high heat and so so longevity. Manage the temperature and it pays for itself in weeks.
