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.


@FlowerBear   I use mine on the low heat setting.

@FlowerBear I have this and use it.  Have nothing negative to say about it except IMO it seems heavy.  But no issues, just section the hair and go.  Love the results.

I have been using this for over 10 years now.  Aquage Thickening gel spray.  It's a fine mist that adds thickness to your hair which gives you some volume.  I have tried overs but this is the best and lasts a long time.

I bought this when it first came out and used it for a bit and have very mixed feelings about it.  If you have fine or delicate hair, I would stay far away.  It does a great job, however, is very damaging to hair even at the lowest heat.  I had very healthy hair when I started using this and it was a mess after (and I always used a heat protectant).  I had read that it was too hot so I made sure to always use the lowest settings and it still damaged my hair.  I ended up buying a Dyson Air Wrap and using those brushes instead.  I liked them much better.  I have now embraced my wavy hair and no longer use any heat tools.  

 

I would think it might be ok if you have thick or coarse hair.  Also, I'm not sure if maybe they've updated it since when it first came out.  I know there were lots of people reporting that it damaged their hair back then.

Re: Revlon Volumizer?

[ Edited ]

Is this newer?  I remember a number of years ago I bought a brush dryer/styler and I couldn't use it because it was huge.  It was way too big in diameter for me to use on my chin length hair.  I thought it was a Revlon.  I also thought this same company came out with a smaller version.  Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

 

In any event, I have read a lot of reviews that this dryer gets way, way, way too hot to the point it burns. Many said you also have to somewhat dry your hair first and then go in with this volumizer. 

 

I have thin, fine and color treated hair so I'm afraid to try this.  I am using a different Revlon dryer/styler and it really lacks power so I was looking for something else.

Both my daughter and granddaughter have long hair.  I guess they've learned to use it because they both love it Smiley Happy
