I’ve never been able to master a great at-home blowout, despite having the best hair dryer and smoothing hair products known to man. Moments into the process, a) my super curly hair frizzes in protest, or b) I give up when my biceps and delts can no longer handle the burn. That’s why, when I want to go sleek, I am a devotee to hair dryer brushes, which combine the work of round brushing and blow drying hair into one foolproof step, perfect for people like me who "can't dry their own hair."

That's why I love the Dyson AirWrap, which transforms my mop of thick, curly hair in a silky smooth sheet in 15 minutes flat (heh) — but it comes with a whopping $550 price tag. Now, I know what you're thinking: There's no way I'm spending that much money on a hair tool. And that, my friends, is where the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer comes in.

The insanely popular hair dryer brush is a best-seller on Amazon (and always sells out in all of our gift guides). It boasts over 424,000 reviews (nearly 337,000 of which are five-star ratings), and it claims to achieve smooth blowouts in half the time. Its namesake volume is thanks to the ability to easily place the dryer close to the scalp, beneath the hair, for that swingy, salon-coiffed look.

"The smart design of the brush is what makes this tool unique," says Sabina Wizemann, Senior Chemist at the Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab. "The oval shape allows for two different types of brushes to work together simultaneously: The longer, flatter side acts as a hair-straightening paddle brush, while its rounded corners lift the hair from its roots and create volume like a round brush does."

Reviewers are freaking out over this thing, too. One says it took her blowout time from 75 minutes to 8 minutes, and another raves, “my hair looks like I went to the hair salon” (honestly, it’s worth checking out her before and after photos).

Does the One-Step Hair Dryer Work?

It’s definitely bulkier than the sleek Dyson, but I was shocked at how easy to hold and intuitive the One-Step Volumizer is to use, despite its wide construction. For reference, there’s almost no learning curve if you’ve ever held a round brush before.
