Revlon One Step but on dry hair

11 replies

Anjelika · 27/05/2025 18:44

I have long very fine hair. If I use the Revlon One Step it looks OK - has some body, is fairly smooth and turns under at the ends. I want to be able to recreate this the next day on dry hair. Straighteners make it look thinner and my GHD Glide brush is better but still not as good.

Can anyone recommend a heated brush for use on dry hair that is similar in size and shape to the One Step?

I regularly use my Revlon One Step on dry hair, for a quick pep-up on the days I don’t wash my hair

@Springtime43 that's interesting. I will try that but was thinking more of a brush that heats up rather than one that dries hair.

I was looking for something similar. Lots of people recommend this but I haven’t bought it yet

@IWasBornIn1989 that's not dissimilar to the GHD Glide one I've got. I'm looking for one where the bristles go all the way round like the One Step.

I use the one step for a refresh all the time, it's fab!

Isn't the One Step just that? A brush that heats up? I actually don't use mine to dry my hair, I use a proper hair dryer for that, and once it's 80-90% dry, I finish with the One Step.
And I use it to refresh on dry hair if needed.

Spritz a fine mist of water on dry hair and use your revlon one step. I have fine hair and this is perfect for in between washes. Sometimes I use dry shampoo and then the brush.

I sprayed some heat protector on my hair this morning then went over it with the One Step and it looked OK (definitely better than with straighteners) but not as good as when I first washed it. I am tempted to buy one of those heated brushes specifically for dry hair but wish I could try before I buy. I already have enough hair gadgets as it is!

I find heat protectors make your hair flat especially on in between days. Your hair isn’t going to be as clean with product buildup so less likely to do with the brush itself.

I find the heat up brushes quite drying if used regularly - I had the GHD Glide and noticed a lot of breakage after a few months of use.

I think dry shampoo and the One Step is a good option specially if you have fine hair.
