The unique combination of a curling wand and blowdryer allows you to dry and style your hair at the same time, thus saving you time in your routine. Whether you have short or long hair, this styling tool is made for you. This review will help us to determine if you can get a blowout without the salon price tag.
Revlon One Step Blowout Curls Claims, Directions
This tool combines a blow dryer and a curling iron with a clip into one tool. Heated air is able to flow through the vents in the curling barrel, which should equate to time saved and less damage. It claims to create shiny, bouncy curls, while also being able to refresh second-day hair. The barrel is triple-ceramic coated to smooth hair and reduce frizz, while also being long enough to be enjoyed by both short and long haired people. It measures in at 1 1/4″ in diameter.
In the set you get two attachments- a root dryer and a curling wand. They easily attach and detach for simple storage. There is also a swivel cord, a cool tip, and four heat settings of low, medium, high, and cool.
Revlon’s directions on using this tool are as follows. You are to use it on damp hair that has been towel or air-dried and detangled. The concentrator attachment will dry your roots. After that, you should clip and section your hair so that you can wrap one-inch sections of hair around the barrel. You should spread your hair across the barrel to get the best results.

Revlon One Step Blowout Curls Review
Now it is time for my Revlon One Step Blowout Curls review. I find that it is easier to wrap your hair around the barrel when you have the device turned off. This will prevent you from accidentally causing your hair to blow around. I clip the end of the section down, hold the wand vertical from my head, and wrap the hair going up the barrel so that it is spread out.
When it comes time to release the curl, I like to shut the device off and allow 10 seconds for cooling the curl. You can also use the cool shot for this purpose. Even with all of the turning off and on, I still think this saves time over blowdrying your hair, and then curling it. I would bare in mind that the 1 1/4″ barrel is going to give you loose waves.
I watched several review videos, and a common negative review was the root drying tool. People think it is a drying comb that you should run through your hair, but that is not correct. You need to dry your roots with the attachment because you will not be getting the curling wand up to the root.
I will say that the heat is very intense, even on low. It blows right onto your scalp and/or ears, and it is uncomfortable. This might be user error, since I am not skilled with a clipped curler, but I can see creases from the clip.
Below you can see the results of the Revlon One Step Blowout Curls for short hair on the left side of my head, versus my natural hair on the right. I struggle with naturally frizzy hair, and this product did exacerbate my frizz. The waves are nice, but they could be better. As with most hair styling tools, practice makes perfect. It does accomplish the task of getting you that blowout look with some oomph and volume. Do I think that I will reach for it often? Probably not. A normal curling iron helps more with my frizz.
