The Versatility of the RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer: Stretch Your Wash & Go!
In the world of curly and coily hair care, achieving a stretched wash and go can seem like a mystical art. But with the RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer, this process is not only attainable but also incredibly efficient. Whether you're looking to stretch your curls for length retention, reduce tangles, or simply switch up your look, the RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer is your go-to tool. In this post, we'll dive into how to use this innovative dryer to stretch your wash and go, providing you with all the tips and tricks you need for stunning, defined curls.
Why Stretch Your Wash & Go?
Before we delve into the how-to, let's talk about the why. Stretching your wash and go offers several benefits:
1. Length Retention: Stretched hair reduces the risk of single-strand knots and breakage, promoting healthier hair growth.
2. Versatility: Stretched hair can be styled in various ways, from buns to braids, without significant shrinkage.
3. Reduced Tangling: Stretching minimizes the tightness of curls, making detangling sessions easier and less time-consuming.
4. Definition Maintenance: With the right technique, you can maintain curl definition while enjoying the benefits of stretched hair.
The RevAir Advantage
The RevAir Reverse-Air Dryer is a game-changer for stretching curly and coily hair. Its unique reverse-air technology uses low heat and gentle tension to dry and smooth hair in a fraction of the time compared to traditional methods. This means less heat damage and more moisture retention, which is crucial for maintaining healthy curls.
Step-by-Step Guide to Stretching Your Wash & Go with RevAir
1. Prep Your Hair
Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair. Apply your favorite leave-in conditioner and a gel with a firm hold to ensure your curls maintain their definition during the stretching process. A gel with crunch, like Eco Styler Gel or Wetline Xtreme Gel, works well.
2. Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into larger sections than you normally would for drying. This allows the RevAir to work more efficiently, ensuring even tension and stretch. Four to six sections are usually sufficient for most hair types.
3. Start Low & Slow
Set your RevAir to a lower tension setting—Tension 2 or 3 is ideal—and use low heat. This combination is perfect for maximizing stretch while minimizing heat exposure. Toggle the wand and hold it at the root of each section for about 10 seconds. This will start to stretch the curls without over-drying them.
4. Dry Each Section
Move the wand slowly down the length of your hair, ensuring that the section is fully dry before moving on. This is crucial for maintaining the stretched effect and preventing frizz. If you want to preserve curl definition, avoid disturbing the hair too much as you move the wand.
5. Repeat As Needed
If necessary, repeat the process on each section until you achieve your desired level of stretch. Remember, patience is key. Stretching your wash and go with the RevAir should be a gentle process to avoid causing stress or damage to your curls.
6. Finish with a Cool Blast
Once all sections are dry and stretched, finish with a cool blast (O on Wand) from the RevAir to set your style. This helps to close the hair cuticles, locking in moisture and shine.
Tips for Best Results
- Use a Gel with Crunch: Gels that dry with a hard cast help maintain curl definition during the stretching process. Make sure your hair is fully dry before breaking the cast for the best results.
- Avoid Overstretching: While the goal is to stretch your curls, be mindful not to overstretch, which can lead to loss of definition.
- Maintain Moisture: Keep your hair moisturized throughout the process. Dry hair is more prone to damage, so consider using a light oil or serum to seal in moisture.
