I just bought the Revlon Air Straight today, since it happened to be in-stock at the local Ulta. Not going to be able to try it anytime soon though… it’s supposed to rain through next Saturday.
So I finally got a chance to try the Revlon Air Straight (three months after I bought it

). It’s definitely not like my beloved though disintegrated Maxiglide.

You have to dry your hair first, and can only use the flat-iron setting once your hair is mostly dry. All it really does is spare you from having to use separate two tools, but you still have two steps, since you have to blow dry first before switching to the flat-iron mode. However, just the blow-dryer mode, by virtue of the way it is designed, does get the hair fairly straight on its own. If I had put more effort into using it properly (i.e., not at 4 o’clock in the morning after two crazy days,

) and perhaps planned better with products (I just used some very old leftover Maxiglide Beyond Straight Temporary Straightener balm and Sabino Moisture Block), the results might have been better. However, the size prevents you from getting close to the roots, so if I wanted to get a truly straight look, I would have to use the Miniglide that came with my defunct Maxiglide (and thankfully is still intact) on my edges. In fact, I would say that the size of the Revlon Air Straight would make it better for longer hair - perhaps APL or longer. I wasn’t able to get a good, clear picture, but hopefully this gives an idea. For reference, my hair is more 3C/4A these days, with some bits of 3A and 3B sprinkled through, with medium-coarse strands, and varies in length from mid-back to tailbone stretched.

And I did not use the included glove, because it comes with a label warning that it could melt. It was easier to take my chances with my bare hands,
