Anyone with kinky curls knows what a pain it is to get those things straight. In fact, it may be worth the money and trouble once or twice a year. Chemicals to straighten or that lovely burning hair smell from the flat iron (not to mention the cursing as you singe your scalp every so often) makes it much more trouble than it’s worth most of the time.
Needless to say I was extremely skeptical of the RevAir system. But we will try anything in search of easier straightening!
The box is HEAVY! Obviously not just a hair dryer in there. My wife took one look and said “whoa! It’s a little shop-vac for my hair!” And she’s right, it totally is. Everything is nicely packaged and the directions for assembly and operation are well written and easy to follow. Yes, I said written. Not just a bunch of pictures, but actual steps written out to follow. I found that refreshing and it cut down on any frustration misunderstanding what to do. Oh, and there are photos of an actual person instead of a cartoon. I appreciate that.
So once you have the little machine set up, hose and dryer attached, section your hair, choose your
settings, and follow the exact instructions to suck up one section at a time. My wife’s took 90 seconds per section on high heat with level 4 tension. All dry and straight in ten minutes. We were both gobsmacked. No burning smell at all. No scalp burns. Just beautifully straight and dry hair.
She’s in complete awe. She had friends over that evening and showed them all, claiming the RevAir her “new favorite thing”. We are having a straightening party with another curly-top later this week. In our forties. A hair party. Seriously.
I don’t know why it took so long for this innovation to make its way to us, but if you have curly or kinky hair—it’s worth it to try!!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Dry and straighten hair with less damage

I was very excited to try this new technology for styling my hair. I am constantly using a blow dryer and a flat iron because I like my hair straight (my natural hair is curly), so I was happy to find a method of straightening it with less damage. It works really great on my hair! My sister also tried it out, and it worked well, although it took more time because she has longer and curlier hair. In comparison to the blow dryer or flat iron, however, I would say it takes slightly less time. This dryer works like a vacuum: it suctions your hair, but you have to separate it in small sections. You don't need to use a brush like with the other hair dryers. I pass it through my hair a few times - around five times per section - from all the way up to the roots.
It is important to note the size of this air dryer. It is big and heavy, which is the only thing I don't really like about it. It is not something you can take anywhere, but it works great if you are going to keep it in a fixed place. Another thing to keep in mind is that it has many parts to it, and it's very different from a typical hair dryer. Once you get the hang of it, though, it is a great way to style your hair so that it won't damage with so much heat. Overall, I am satisfied with the product and pleased to have tried it out!

Background: I have 3b bra strap length hair. I’ve had the Revair for 2 years.
Overall thought: It has been a great addition to my hair care regime!
Pros
- Dries hair fast: It takes about 20 minutes for me to dry all of my hair.
- Requires little effort to dry hair: Prior to purchasing the Revair I used a blow dryer with a comb attachment. Drying my hair used to take a lot of focus and manipulation to gently pull the comb through my hair. With the Revair I can suck my hair up in the tool, hold it there for 30-60 seconds and BOOM my hair is dried and super stretched
Cons
- The Revair is quite bulky making it challenging to store and not great for travel.
- I’m not sure why but I can never the back of my hair as stretched as the front parts. This isn’t a deal breaker since I use a flat iron after drying my hair.

It’s loud and it’s clunky. I can’t watch my shows without my headphones. But for someone that hates washing and detangling my 4c hair this makes is way less miserable. I typically wear my hair in a stretch state with a braid out or twist out. This thing is a game changer for that. I will repair a section and twist after and wake up with such a beautiful soft texture. This makes my hair feel so soft and smooth after using and it doesnt smell fried like a typical hair dryer would. I’m not a stylist I barely put heat on my hair but always use protectant when I do but I would always have burnt smelling hair. Probably too high of setting or too much time in one spot but I hate how frizzy traditional blow dyers would make my hair. Overall used it several times in the last 4 months and have been liking it!

This hair dryer is great. It works just as intended and shortens the amount of time that I have to spend doing my daughters hair. We are natural and for most naturals we do not use much heat in our hair, simply for the health of our Godly crowns and to retain the beautiful shape of our curls. I’ve only straightened my daughters hair once since birth, simply because it was a tough and long job. Which included an inexpensive hot blow drier and flat iron (cringe), and a couple hours. She has beautiful long, thick curly hair with tons of shrinkage when in its natural state. She has begged me to make her hair straight since last year and although I’ve wanted to do it, I didn’t want to spend the time and risk further damage doing it. She has a tender scalp, which makes it even less fun, as she’s sensitive to detangling or heat near the scalp. Since I’m against tons of heat this unit has been a saving grace in the short time we’ve owned it. It’s unique in shape and operation but it’s allowed me to keep her scalp protected from the harsh heat and I’m able to adjust the heat settings. There were a couple times, as we were enjoying a movie together, as I did her hair in which I did allow (accidentally) for the wand mouth to get too close to the scalp and it got a bit too hot for her. That was user error so be warned that it still gets too hot if you’re not paying attention as to how close or long you’re holding it towards the scalp, as there are small openings that allow warm heat to emit to dry the roots. Other than that, she told me she was comfortable during the entire process. I was very impressed. So much so, I didn’t even bother with a flat iron and will continue to use this as the only method to “straighten” her hair. There was no stress or tension on her hair and it was a quick process. Her hair is just fine and her curls are still beautiful and bouncy. I’m very thankful to this brand for making such a device that’s easy to use and enjoyable for naturals to get a quicker, smoother, and more beautiful blowout without the added stress and unhealthy heat. My daughter loves it too.

The RevAir reverse hair dryer is a game-changer! I find the design uniquely efficient, allowing me to dry mine and the kids hair in half the time compared to other methods we’ve tried.
I was pleasantly surprised by how gentle it is on our hair—no more heat damage or awkward contortions to reach every strand. Plus, the sleek and ergonomic design makes it easy to maneuver. Whether you have thick curls like my girls or fine hair, the RevAir adapts beautifully, delivering salon-quality results at home. The only con for me is that, I wish it was more portable.
Overall, I’ll say if you are looking to simplify your home hair routine while achieving stunning results, this is the product for you, give it a try.

The reverse hair dryer is perfect for those who don't like air being blown on them. My daughter has sensory issues so doing her hair takes a lot of time. With this product, not only does it dry fast without damaging the hair, it's also quiet enough for her to manage. It's still loud, just not as loud as traditional dryers. Setup is easy and secure, instructions are clear and simple, and the functionality is safe and ergonomic.
You have to section the hair out and dry the sections individually (Imagine sucking your hair through a vacuum tube). The heat settings (High, Low, and No Temp) are on the wand for easy transitions and it takes anywhere from 60 to 90 seconds to dry each section completely root to tip. If you put too much hair in the tube there is an auto-shutoff feature. Simply pull the wand from hair and reinsert the adjusted section. Speaking of pulling, there is also a tension setting to adjust the strength of the suction. The harder the tension, the quicker the hair dries and the longer it stretches out, again with no damage.
Please don't use any oils in your hair when you use the dryer as you could damage the product. Only heat protectant is allowed.

This product is amazing. You can literally dry a very full thick head of hair in 10 mins tops. I would recommend using small sections if you have very curly hair. It will dry much better and faster. it can seem a little heavy holding the attachment part but its manageable since it takes such a short amount of time to dry.

I was excited to receive the RevAir-Reverse-Air Hair Dryer! My daughter has 3C hair that is about 18 inches long when straightened.
The RevAir was delivered in a VERY large box. The box included the RevAir base, the hose, the wand, a detachable wand rest, a mesh filter, the manual and quick start guide.
After washing and towel drying the hair, I sectioned the hair in 8 sections on each side. A total of 16 sections. No oils or conditioners were added prior to using RevAir Reverse Air Hair Dryer.
Starting from the back I began to dry the hair. I started out with the setting on Level I low heat and 5 tension. My daughter said that it was too cool. I was truly amazed that it straighten the hair, however the ends were still fuzzy. I then upped it to Level II, which she said was comfortable. After drying a couple of sections, I upped the tension to Level 7, then went over the previous sections that I had dried. The RevAir did exactly what it said it would do. Although her ends were still a little fuzzy, it is due to needing a trim. Highly recommend.

The sound and sight of joy coming from my girlfriend when she opened this on Christmas was wonderful. To see her use it and continue to express that was even more wonderful. She absolutly loves it. It dries and softens her hair just the way she was hoping it would. Her hair looked beautiful after she did it. She highly recommends it to anyone looking to limit the heat damage to your hair and to keep it soft and dry it in under a minute. The only thing was the price, but for the long haul its worth it.

I have been natural for some time now and my thick hair takes a lot of time to manage. I purchased the RevAir and it changed my life. It is easy to use and saves me so much time. I wish I had purchased it a long time ago

I’ve been using it since December and it’s been great. I wouldn’t say it’s shortened my drying time, but I don’t dread wash days anymore. It’s easy to store. Just make sure your detangle your hair throughly before using. Also moisturize your scalp after use so it doesn’t dry it out. My hair feels pretty great after using. It’s become a staple in my hair routine. I have type 4 hair and it’s more 4B than anything with a sprinkle of 4C and 4A in random spots. I took 1 star off because it’s pretty bulky even though this model is slightly smaller than the original. I have to dissemble to store it, and it took me a little bit to learn how to put it together lol. But definitely worth it.

I love my RevAir!!! Wishing I got it sooner. It literally makes my wash day smoother. I love how it doesn’t cause any heat damage and it’s so easy to use. It is truly worth the investment. 10/10 recommend.

Really a great product that has revolutionized the idea of drying brown and black peoples hair due that market not changing for more than 50 years. I like that it can effectively dry my hair with little heat or no heat at all. The wand that you hold is not heavy but the base is.

Works pretty good but could never seem to get roots as straight as i would like also manufacturer does not recommend use of oil or hair products prior to blow drying so it leaves my hair dehydrated. However it is a must have for little kids my son will sit still and let me use this on his whole head without any complaints whereas he hated our regular blowdryer

Tired seeing hair snap or tangle using blow dryer with comb attachment, decided to purchase the Revair. Best decision ever, it's an amazing product, jaw dropping experience first time using it. Dried and straighten section of hair in a few seconds and hair was cool to touch. Easy to use, setting goes up to 7, but 5 did the job. This is going to save my hair and make life easy on wash day.

Love this product, use it for myself as well as my 4 daughters. We all have different hair types, but all curly and this just makes blow drying (for braids or styling straight) so much easier and much faster.
