Revlon shared some interesting things when it talked about the new Revlon One-Step brush: they compared the new model to the old model and they said the new PLUS model can deliver 75% shinier blowouts and 50% less heat exposure. If you can’t stand the annoying loud noise caused by hot air dryer brushes, well, I’m sorry to let you know this new Revlon brush PLUS doesn’t have improvements in this aspect. The drying noise is as loud as the original model. I thought the smaller/slimmer size can help in reducing some of the noise levels after I turned it on, but the result was not as expected. Revlon PLUS’s Motor Is More Durable

Charcoal-Infused Nylon Bristles: Refreshes second-day styles and smooths hair’s cuticle for glossy results. There is a big upgrade inside of the handle of the Revlon PLUS, they claim that a few users who bought the old Revlon One-Step said their brushes stopped working after a few months. So this time the Revlon One-Step PLUS is equipped with an upgraded motor, which is said to be 40% more long-lasting than the old one. Styling Performance Comparison If a little more care had been put into the design of the Revlon Pro and its motor wasn’t so annoyingly loud, we’d happily recommend it over more expensive rivals, such as the GHD Air, because it’s performance is just so good. Unless we’re looking to rough dry our hair or style it differently, the Revlon Pro is our go-to dryer. They feature the same oval design but the Revlon PLUS is slimmer. And the handle of the new Revlon Plus is slightly longer than the old version. And one of the advantages of the compact design of the new Revlon dryer is that it becomes much more lightweight, and you will not get tired even after holding it for a long time.

No More Frizz!!!!!

Finally, what we feel is the most significant feature of the Revlon Pro is the fact you can use it one-handed. When time is tight in the morning, or you just fancy an extra few minutes in bed, you can apply make-up at the same time as drying your hair. Believe us, we do this regularly. If that’s a little too ambitious, you can enjoy a cup of tea or eat toast at the same time. This, for us, is a gamechanger. Verdict Both the new and old Revlon One-Step dryer allows users to adjust heat settings conveniently in the middle of the drying & styling process. One difference is that the Revlon PLUS dryer brush features 4 heat settings (low, medium, high & cool), which is more flexible than the original model. And I’ve tested the heat from both products, and I felt the Revlon Plus in its highest setting was a bit hotter than the original model. Sorry, The New Model Is Still Noisy I hate spending hours drying and then styling my hair and this one step hair dryer is a game changer. The Revlon one step dryer combines a hair dryer with a round hairbrush so you can dry your hair and style it at the same time. It is a genius idea. Blowdrying and heat-styling hair will always introduce an element of damage, but by reducing the total time spent styling and including hydrating ionic technology, the One Step aims to reduce heat damage and promote hair health as well as giving hair a salon-worthy blowdry finish.

The new One-Step PLUS did create pretty shiny finishes and sleek texture, but I didn’t feel it’s way better than the original One-Step brush in this comparison, the final results looked similar. Another thing that I need to mention is that the new PLUS brush is as hot as my old dryer brush (maybe even hotter?), so I can’t visually see the difference between the hair damage. It’s Worth The Higher Price? YES!

At first glance, you can easily tell the brush on the Revlon PLUS dryer is smaller than the original Revlon One-Step. According to Revlon, the oval brush that comes with the PLUS version is 2.4″ while the old Revlon dryer’s brush is 4.25″.

To avoid passing the tool through the hair multiple times, it’s best to towel- or air-dry hair to around 80% dry before using the One Step, then section and spritz with a heat protector spray to avoid damage from the heated barrel. One thing that saves time with the tool is you won’t need to brush or detangle hair first (unless it’s very tangled) as the two sets of bristles do that effectively. Even on the lowest of the two speed/temperature settings, the Revlon Pro dried our medium-length fine hair in an impressive three minutes and four seconds, which goes some way to negating its heavy, bulky design – as you won’t need to be using it for long. Its large size also means you can dry and style large sections of hair in one go. What’s more, because it styles as it dries, our arms didn’t ache from holding a brush and separate dryer at awkward angles – as is the case with some of its rivals – and we didn’t have to do anything to finish our style once it was dry, saving even more time.

Great hair dryer

The One Step does feel slightly bulky in the hand, and the large size of the brush makes getting to the roots something of a trial – the key here is to divide the hair into smaller sections and flip the hair away from its usual direction. The ends curled under beautifully with minimal effort, and the whole process really did feel amazingly easy given the quality of the results. It gives a long-lasting effect, too – hair that we washed and styled in the morning was still looking great that evening, and even into the next day. Blow dry each section lifting the hair from the root wrapping the hair around the barrel. To prevent over-drying, do not concentrate the airflow on any one area for too long.
