Doing a great blow dry on yourself

[doadeer]

Can anyone do a great big bouncy curl blow dry on themself? I've got hair past my boobs and it looks so lovely after hairdressers but I can't seem to do it on myself. I can curl with straighteners but doesn't have the same oomph!

But I paid £30 so should probably just have paid the extra tenner for the real thing!

Oh God, I'm going to bed before I buy The Revlon One Step .

Came back to say I bought the Revlon One Step and for me it's been a game changer. I won't say that my hair is sleek but it is presentable. I followed Marnie Goldberg's instructions on YouTube and for the first time in years I can actually style my hair!!

Thanks for the recommendation.

Sold! Just ordered on boots, it’s on offer plus my 10 percent student discount so £35! I have the big hair and it’s ok but not amazing ! Excited 😆

Babyliss big hair is rubbish for fine hair. Not sure if the Revlon would benefit me or not. The only decent blow dry for me is from the salon or a Dyson.

@MrsPelligrinoPetrichor no damage at all!!

Is there room on the Revlon bandwagon?

Oops. Just spent my boots points

Interesting thread. I’ve got a babyliss big hair which is ok but it’s quite damaging to my hair.

How is the Revlon one different?

Can we have some before and after pics..for the Revlon please?
I Babyliss big hair and im so dissapointed!

I bought the Revlon One Step on the back of this thread - it’s incredible! I got a blow dry once a week and I just don’t need to now. I blast it with the hair dryer and then go over it - takes about 10 minutes and I have really thick frizzy hair. I love it, thank you for the rec!!!

Tempted by the Revlon One Step, but my hair is above my shoulders and the barrel looks huge! Not sure it'd benefit me.
I have the Babylis Big Styler and it's ok, but not great.

The pictures suggest that you roll your hair and put clips in after using, is that right? I don't really want to do that, I spent the 90s in velcro rollers!
I have the babyliss big hair rotating thing which gave me gigantic newsreader hair but the volume dropped within an hour I then spent ££s on the babylis perfect curl MK2 which took almost an hour and gave me crispy hair so that's left on the shelf unwanted too!

@Boireannachlaidir I have really fine hair that goes limp easily and the Revlon One Step is amazing. I also found Tresemme Volumisng Blow Dry Creme which helps keep it all in shape.

I've just ordered the Revlon one step 🙏

Would the revlon one step work for just above shoulder length hair? The brush bit looks really big. I have neck and shoulder problems, less time drying and styling would help me. Is it heavy though?

@CrowleysBentley, I have just above shoulder length hair. The brush does look huge but the shape is what makes it good for hair our length. It’s not heavy - I can blow dry into a good style in about 7/8 minutes (my hair does dry quickly though, very fine but lots of it). I’m properly evangelical about it

Mine arrived today and I see what people are saying about the barrel being huge! I’ll try it tomorrow.

I bought a cheap one of insta before I realised the one step was a thing and half of the videos were of that. I am not impressed with it. It smells of burning and keeps getting too hot. I don’t know now whether to. It the one step or whether it will be similar as I don’t think it’s all that burnt fingers aside.

@olivehater the revlon one step doesn't smell of burn at all. Mine never has and I own it for more than a year now and use it almost everyday.

Thanks @jcurve I have just ordered one, it sounds great.

There are two. One paddle one round. Which are we doing? I want BIG

I have the round one.

Thanks mate

I have always had really long (bum level), insanely thick hair (although I’ve now cut it short and hate it 🤢) and I’ve never been able to blow dry it nicely!

Maybe some serum would help stop going it frizzy?
