I wanted to get the Revlon One Step Volumizer but read so many negative reviews online. Have you tried this or any other similar one that works for you?

if so,  recommend I stopped using a hairdryer and just use 

 

hair needs to be at least 50% dry

@FlowerBear   It's the only hair tool I use when I want a straighter look to my wavy/curly hair. The trick, I think, is to leave your hair in a turbie twist or other microfiber towel until not soaking wet. Then I apply a heat protectant and section off my hair in 4 parts with duckbill or other clips. I dry those sections on low heat. It comes out shiny, straight and with twisting the wrist at the ends, you can bend at the bottom.

 

For volume, be sure to hold the sections straight up away from the scalp and hold the tool close to the hairline before sliding it down that section. I think you'll enjoy the ease of not having to handle the brush and blowdryer.

What???  What are the negative reviews saying?  I bought one for my granddaughter this past summer after reading hundreds of reviews.  It has 4.5 stars with 12,942 ratings Smiley Surprised  The two complaints  remember is how hot it gets and I think some people's  hair got tangled.  My granddaughter and daughter both love it and use it almost daily.

I bought it but I have hair past my bra line and a slight layer nothing major and it just got tangled in my hair however, my GF has shoulder length hair and I gave it to her and she loves it, her hair is layered and it doesn't get tangled in her hair.

I've used the Revlon One Step Volumizer for years and absolutely love it!  I actually like it so much that I bought another one as backup in case my original one ended up dying on me.  It's the best hair styler I've ever used.  The reviews on this item are awesome and well-deserved.

Im so happy to hear the postive things about this. I was afraid to buy when I read so many negative things. I tried to find where I saw the reviews but cant find it, I looked about 2 weeks ago at them. I kept reading it damaged hair. Thank you everyone.

@monicakm   I've found that that issue of tangling doesn't happen if you take smaller sections. Also if you have very long hair, any curling brush/styler where your hair wraps around many times could stand the chance of getting caught.
