I've been trying to use this code and for some reason it isn't working for me.

ETA: I contacted a sales rep and they said the code is no longer active. It was apparently a private code that leaked so they shut it down.

Hmmm that's upsetting!! So I have the email response from their rep saying it's good through the end of the year and if a better deal doesn't come up on Black Friday, then I'm going to ask that they honor what they put in writing to me. We'll see if that works:mad:

So far this is a winner for me. Tonight I did my regimen like I'm supposed to but I dont have any pictures cuz it's late and I should be in the bed.

Water rinsed and detangle with deva curl one. I shampooed with Mane Choice Type 4 shampoo. I used the masque from that line and sat under the dryer for 45 minutes. My hair was soft when. I rinsed it out. I used Tgin leave in. Before drying each section I used Mane Magic.

I did smaller sections this time but it still takes about 40 to 45 seconds per section. My hair was stretched enough that I could really clip my split ends.

When I finished I could comb through my hair. That's something I can't do when I rollerset. And my ends weren't all dried out. When I out the sections into bantu knots my ends didn't crunch. I also had a lot of volume.

My hair was softer and straighter this week I think be wise my regimen and products were better.

What I learned this week though is to use smaller sections and to pre section my hair before starting. If I'm going to dry in 16 sections I need to apply all of my products t and clip those sections so when. I start crying I can just move from section to section.

Ok so dont laugh. When. I got to my last 3 sections after about 30 seconds I did the comb chase method with the dryer. I can guarantee it but I think it stret hed it a bit more and smoothed it out.

I will definitely try to take pictures next time.

I got the dryer and I am going to try it out tomorrow. I plan to do one section. @faithVA what tension and heat setting did you use? How can you tell which is the right for you?

Hopefully, I can purchase a separate hose. One when I plan to straighten and another when I just want to dry my braids. I slather my braids with shea butter so I know it will be greasy in the part that suctions the hair.

I am excited to try this and will report back with before and after pics or a video.

My hair is super curly or coily and I have a lot of shrinkage. I started with the tension at 4 and low heat. It worked ok. I'm a bit impatient though and I have a lot of hair. So I bumped it up to 5 and then 6. My hair didn't feel like it was drying it out so I out it on high heat and 7 for tension.

Take a small section and out it on low heat and a setting of 4 for tension and go from there. If it isn't enough you can go back over that section with higher heat and higher tension without any issues.

I think it may take a couple of uses to nail it and get over the learning curve.

Let us know how it works.

Ok thank you for explaining! For my braided sections, I think a low tension will be fine and for the top, I will play around with the different tension settings. This may actually be good for “air-drying” the top section in braids to minimize tangling (on the lowest heat setting) and then flat-ironing afterwards. Hmmm.

So Reniece tried this on me about 2 weeks ago. She did half my head. My hair, it makes me so frustrated sometimes. :angry2:As I was there for about 4 hours and she spent 2 hours just detangling with pre-wash oil mixture stuff. And I had done a medium detangle of my hair before going. So anyway, I had to leave and we ran out of time, so we only got half my hair blow dried, lol. The half she did was nice, though. Took about 45 minutes on the blow dry for that half. Like, seriously, what is wrong with my hair?! This is with me trying to "keep up" on the detangling, wearing my hair in cornrows for 6 weeks, with taking them down every 2 or 3 weeks to wash and blow dry with pick attachment. Okay *whoosah*, what was I saying?

She did half my head. You'll notice the technique she has in the video she posted, where she moves the dryer around at the base to keep tension and stretch in all ways. At home, I rely on the pick attachment to help with the detangling, but since this doesn't have that, if you want comb-able hair after, you have to make sure you detangle THOROUGHLY beforehand. My hair is difficult for me to detangle absolutely thoroughly because it takes so much time to get it to that level and I ain't got that time with a full time job and 2 young kids. Anyway, she detangled my hair by hand and combed many many many times before she thought it was ready for that blow dryer. But the results were good. Even down to the ends which she says she generally has to do a warm flat iron with chase at the ends to get them that straightened out. She said the result was definitely better and faster with this dryer than with the one(s) she had been using before. And it was more stretched out than some of the videos I've seen on YouTube showing that, once again, technique matters. She has better technique than most, and it might take a while for someone to figure out how to get the best results with the dryer.

I can't do the $400 for a blow dryer at this time in my life, I gotta get a huge tree in my front yard cut down, lol. But if you got it like that, it wouldn't be the worst $400 spent. As for me, per her suggestion, I upgraded by about $15 from the Yellow Bird to the Silver Bird. That's going to have to do!

Wow. I can't even imagine your hair. She has her own personality and way of doing things.

Technique definitely makes a difference.

I'm surprised that it takes so long to dry the hair with it, based on your post and other post. I thought it would go fast.

But I do need a new blow dryer, so off to look at the silver bird. I usually stick with a revlon one (I think) with a retractable cord. I like folding handles too.

Do you use a comb attachment? A blow dryer with a good attachment is a must for me

I get the impression that I'm an outlier in how long it takes to do my hair

Now I use the Revlon one step hair dryer (it's a paddle brush, blow dryer combo). Now before that, I used a regular blow dryer with no attachments. Mainly to dry my hair, not get it straight.

I haven't used the comb attachment in years actually. I remember buying that really nice one that people raved about and it didn't fit on my blow dryer and I was mad lol.

It look like the dryer do a great job but it doesn't look like it get all the way to the scalp as the traditional hair dryer unless the thin parts are made, and therefore leave Tue 4 b/c hair looking poofy.

I am really excited about this and definitely getting it. They give a 25 dollar coupon when you sign up for the mailing list but I signed up for the mailing list with hopes for a good Black Friday/Cyber Monday deal. I have even seen youtube reviews using this product on locs/braids. I am definitely getting this as the most hair I loose on wash day (when I straighten)is while blow drying(I retain pretty well with no heat but like my heat). I am hopeful that is will really reduce my trims and splits.

Ladies. Listen. Get this hair dryer. I repeat, get this hair dryer. I was in disbelief this morning when I decided to try it. It was last minute so I am sorry I don’t have a video. However, I will make sure to do one this week.

I was planning on using it just to dry the braided section of my hair after I washed it. However, I decided to try it on the top section as well (conditioned, rinsed and patted dry with a paper towel). I was floored by how quickly it dried my hair!! I mean I almost fell out. I can’t remember what tension setting (I will update when I get home tonight) I had it on but it definitely wasn’t on the highest setting and the top section of my hair got really straight.

Usually, it takes me about 30-40 minutes to dry just the top section of my hair (I use the tension method). With this thing, it took 25 minutes to do the top section AND the braided sections. To dry the braided sections would normally take like an hour which is why I never do it. I was soooo shocked yall.

Also, when I dry my hair using the tension method, my hair kind of fuses together and feels a bit dry. With this ... I didn’t even put leave-in (totally forgot to) in the top section and my hair was soooo soft. Almost as if I had blow-dried, relaxed hair. I also only had the conditioner on my hair for 10 minutes and didn’t shampoo first. I did not comb my hair before I did it either. (That was risky but I really was only planning to use it on the braided hair so it wouldn’t be so wet.) It didn’t get hot even when it was just sitting on my scalp.

Ladies ... get this dryer before the price goes up. I thought people on YouTube were exaggerating because — let’s face it — most of them got this dryer in exchange for a review and are getting a cut for anyone that buys it using their link. But this thing really is the truth!! I can’t wait to use it again after I properly wash, condition and detangle. I will make sure the next time I use it, I make a video.

This hair dryer would be great when I just want to do a length-check. I can’t stop touching my hair. It is so soft!!!

It actually got to my scalp but the scalp area was a little frizzy. However, I didn’t use any leave-in when I tried it. Even with small sections, it will dry them in like one minute or less with zero manipulation while drying it.

Reneice tried it last week. I’m pretty much 100% going to get one but I want to see if that $100 off is the best discount they will offer.


In the second video: does anyone know what red brush she is using(name and brand) it looks like rubber bristles. It reminds me of a sweepa pet brush brush. hmmm? I want that too lol.

The brush is the Felicia Leatherwood detangler brush. I have it and I also have this one from Target which I think is better https://www.target.com/p/evolve-flow-thru-detangling-brush/-/A-51114920. The one from Target has replaced my Denman. I don't use my denman for anything anymore.

Well ladies, all the hype is real. Mt RevAir shipped on yesterday and I received it today. Luckily, today was wash day and it arrived early in the morning so I was able to use it today. I was shocked at how quickly it dried my hair, 5 seconds per section. I am texlaxed so it dried and straightened my hair. I will do a more thorough review later but for now I am a believer.
