RevAir: Transforming Hair Care One Strand at a Time
Consumer Reports recently tested the RevAir Reverse-Air Hair Dryer on five individuals with varying hair types to assess whether this innovative tool lives up to its reputation. This in-depth evaluation explored drying time, ease of use, and results compared to traditional methods. Here’s what they discovered.
Does RevAir Make Hair Care Easier and Faster?
Reviewer Camille Briggs and her teenage daughter have tried everything for their 4B-4C hair types. Briggs shared, “Back then, I would pray for tools that could ease the hours of blow-drying and straightening.” This hope led them to try RevAir, which claims to reduce drying time while smoothing and stretching hair.
