The verdict
The updated cult drugstore dryer brush: a smaller 2.4-inch oval head, four heat settings and a detachable handle for big, quick blowouts.
The One-Step Volumizer PLUS (sold as PLUS 2.0) updates Revlon's viral dryer brush with a smaller 2.4-inch oval head, charcoal-infused nylon pins, a fourth (medium) heat setting and a detachable head. Revlon claims 75% shinier blowouts with 50% less heat exposure and a motor that lasts 40% longer. Comparison videos weigh it against the original for volume and ease. It suits budget shoppers who want a fast round-brush blowout; it is a single-shape tool, and Revlon publishes no wattage or temperature figures.
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
What we love
- 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
- Detachable head for storage and travel
- 4-year limited warranty
Worth knowing
- Only one brush shape, so it cannot curl or smooth like multi-stylers
- Revlon's product page lists no wattage or temperature figures
