My straight hair secret weapon

I guess I'll let you ladies in on my little hair secret..................
I've been using the Revo Styler for about 10 years on my hair. It's the only way I can get my hair dried to wear it straight. I don't even have to use a flatiron.

The Revo Styler is one of those spinning brushes. I just can't seem to use a regular paddle brush because my ams get too tired. I still section my hair and it while using the Revo brush. It's what gives me that great flip out on the ends.

see below for all types of my hairstyles only done with the revo.

here's a short youtube (not mine)

I have the one that has 2 brush head sizes. I use the large barrel on the bang area and the smaller on the rest.

Ohh that's pretty fun, I've never seen that before! I was never good at spinning the round brush when trying to blow my hair straight. If I ever decide to start styling my hair straight I'm totally going to pick one of these up. Thanks for the tip Teri! Your hair always looks amazing

Your hair looks great all the time! I'm a bit fearful of this item since my hair tangles so much (and I have so much of it) do you think it would work on longer hair? I had found a great shampoo/conditioner (Pureology Straight) but can't find it anymore.

Interesting! I hadn't seen that before. I might put one on this year's Xmas list. It seems like it might make doing my hair in the mornings a little easier.

Hmmmm....I might have to look for one of these. But I've always been worried about my hair getting tangled up in the spinning brush. I can just see myself getting the brush so caught up in the mop that exists on the top of my head that I have to cut it out! LOL!

it has a function that prevents tangling. I've never gotten a tangle from using this brush. I do have thick hair so I blow dry it in sections starting at the bottom up. I dry each small section using this brush. Like I said I can get good body using this and not having to use flat iron or curl it for the flip. I could not do my hair without this brush. I've only gone thru 2 of these brushes in the last 10 years. It has a rechargeable battery that lasts forever between each charge. I think the best place to grab one cheap is on ebay.

So that's your secret! Your hair always looks amazing. If DD's hair wasn't so long, I would have her give this a whirl.

Wow, that sounds like it might work for me! I love how you're able to get so many different looks (and not appear exhausted)! Thank you so much for sharing this. I will get hubby on it right away -- he's the family ebay hound.

You have the cutest hair ever! And so much variety. Kudos!

I have a simular item that I have been secretly using for a couple years ago. I feel so liberated to finally admit it to the world! I have been too embarassed to even admit it to my hair stylist. But I am too clutzy to wrangle a dryer AND a brush and my shoulder tendonitis aches when I try both tools. But the spinning brush/dryer has been my very deep-dark secret for a long time. So there it is...my secret is out.

Like you, I do the majority of the drying with my big dryer and then smooth it all out with my spinner/dryer/brush gadget. Easy-peasy and done in 5 minutes. I just got a new one at Target a couple weeks ago because my old one finally bit the dust. So far I'm happy with it. My hair is shoulder length and no tangle incidents so far!

I might have to try this. I find handling the brush and the dryer quite a chore.

Enginemom: can you share what brand you have? I am too impatient for Ebay.

Absolutely....its an infiniti PRO Conair. It is relatively quiet compared to my old one and dries hair quickly. It has a button that changes the direction of the spin so you can adjust it for either side of your head.
