I don’t have knots to deal with and the Shea prevents tangles. The take down always looks more “done” than the simple knots it takes to achieve...lol
Are you still using your Leatherwood brush?
I still have the Leatherwood but never use it. I use that one from Target every week. I like that one over the Leatherwood because it's not as bulky but the Leatherwood will definitely get the job done.
Thanks!
At the bolded. If I could blow dry my hair with the ease & variety of options this thing has given me, I would never have switched. I remember I did a tension blow dry and it took so long that I never did it again. I try to use this twice a month and I wish it were standard in natural hair salons. I wouldn’t be afraid of getting my hair done again if they were.... and I don’t want to seem odd bringing it with me & asking them to use it.
I did the tension method once before as well. It took about the same amount of time but my hand was sooo tired from trying to hold my hair. The videos made it look so easy.
Try diluting your leave in and spraying it on.
I’ll be trying this for sure next Thursday. Although I’ve also considered adding a leave in after the blow dry too.
I've been eyeing this for a few months now and I think I'm ready to make a purchase. Thanks everyone for sharing your experience with this tool!
My hair is 4a/b. Really either heat setting works fine for me. But I usually do it on low for a little and then switch to high. I have used it with and without heat protectant. It actually was a lot softer without heat protectant but I would not recommend skipping it. I don’t typically use leave-ins because they make my hair feel too heavy. However, for the section I braid in the back, after I dry it and before braiding it, I use a Camille Rose moisture leave-in. My hair reverts a little but I am just braiding that part back up so it doesn’t matter.
It was cheaper the 2nd time around, at $300 the 2nd time. I had to think of its purpose differently, and also my regimen changed between the 1st time I had it and now, so that now there's a place for it. I can't think of it as a tool that will actually help me detangle which was my primary purpose for a blow dryer. And so it can't replace the blow dryers with an attachment. Rather, it's just a faster way to dry my hair and provide it stretch, with the hope that just the stretch itself lessens tangles and single strand knots. Now that I have a regimen where I don't thoroughly detangle every wash or even every other wash, but every 3-4, the Revair can be used in the off weeks for a stretch. It's certainly gentler than the ones with an attachment. Even so, I'm still not at the level of "love", and $300 is a lot for something you don't love. But I do have a use for it in my regimen, so I guess it's still a win.
