Video reviews
Best for
  • • Quick voluminous blowouts on a budget
  • • People who struggle with a round brush and dryer
  • • Straight, wavy or curly hair being blown smooth
  • • Airwrap-style curls and blowouts on a smaller budget
  • • Replacing a separate dryer and round brush
  • • Straight to coily hair, with attachment sets that vary
Strengths
  • Dries and volumizes in one step with an oval round-brush head
  • Smaller 2.4-in head reaches closer to the root and creates flips and waves
  • Four heat settings, including a new medium setting and cool
  • Converts from a 1,600 W hair dryer into a styling wand with one twist
  • Coanda auto-wrap curlers for left and right curls
  • Paddle brush gives a sleek blowout in reviewer tests
Watch-outs
  • Only one brush shape, so it cannot curl or smooth like multi-stylers
  • Revlon's product page lists no wattage or temperature figures
  • Curls drop faster than tong curls, as with other Coanda stylers
  • Must swap barrels to change curl direction
