Mine should be delivered by end of day, I'm excited. Been struggling with single strand knots on my 4b hair, I'm thinking keeping it stretched via blow drying might help a lot.
The fact that I can blow dry without the manipulation of a brush or comb attachment is so perfect. Going to do a henna treatment then try it out this weekend.

Can't wait to read your review...and..
possibly see some pics pretty please?..
I'm the one with the knife and fork...that other thread has given me an insatiable taste.

Are you in the UK too? I was so going to buy it and have it shipped to me here but the website said that it will not work any mains configuration other than that of the US.
If I can straighten my hair without brushing it, after finger-detangling only, that will be a dream come true for me!

Mine says delivery by end of day today, but it's already late here so probably tomorrow. Hoping tomorrow so I can do my wash day and try it out. Traveling next weekend so will have to wait a couple weeks to test it if it doesn't come today.

Hello ladies. I was able to use the product tonight.
I washed my hair with alter ego shampoo
I did a neutral protein filler treatment and layered mixed chicks deep conditioner layered with safflower oil on top of it for a steamer session.
When I rinsed out the conditioner I put my hair in bantu knots for quick after wash sectioning
I took a quick look at what to use and not use use guide shared by the chat representative on revair
https://supportmyrevair.zendesk.com...hair-products-can-or-can-t-I-use-with-RevAir-
I applied alter ego cren to my roots
I applied applied CC Alterna 10-in-one cream each section of hair then detangled with a seamless comb and used the revair on each section.
Each section really did dry in 1 minute. Now I would like to say I finished my whole head in 12-15 minutes lol but I kept doing other stuff in between sections. I would have to fully detangle before I revair and be in the house alone to see how fast I can get though my whole head.
By the time I was finished I was being goofy singing
"Day o umba day o mambu ji ay o
...well...
Don't look any further"... hair flip.
Straight giddy with excitement. I am impressed. History has shown me that products I absolutely love from the fist use become staples. I believe that case will be true for this but I will be sure after a full year of use.
Hair Feels:Soft and moisturized. Supple.
Tangles:I got a few near the roots. This is on me. I know that my hair has a tendency to matt near the scalp. So, I just combed through for a better detangle from ends to roots when a section I didn't pre detangle well enough got a minor tangle
Ladies... I lost less hair drying my hair that I did while finger detangling that loosens my shed hairs. That has never happened before. Ever. For context I have been completely natural since 2004 and my completely natural hair has always been shoulder length or longer even with drastic haircuts and setbacks over the years.
Once I finished I cleaned out he revair. Per these directions found by the chat representative. https://supportmyrevair.zendesk.com...02890534-How-do-I-empty-and-clean-the-filter-You probably don't have to clean it every use with products but doing it that way is the best way for me to not let it get away from me.
I want to see if this change to my regimen cuts down my need for trims and causes my hair to thicken up by reducing blow dry related breakage.
If they make a new and improved version I'm buying that too. Lol I'll just have both. Happy hair drying.
Photos resized and attach they should show correctly now.

Thank you for the review!! You hair looks so full and healthy! What tension and heat setting did you use?
Lylddlebit
Well-Known Member
Thank you. I started at level 2 tried each level then stayed on 7. I like 7 even though the lower setting will still work.
Great review and beautiful results! Which heat setting, low or high?

I tried it on low but preferred high. So I used high on most sections.

As I'm mentally planning my products for this wash day, I just realized I don't have any heat protectant anymore 
(Since I wear twists all the time, i usually seal my hair with grease or gel)
I'm glad Sally's and Ulta are right around the corner so I can grab something.

I bought the black friday bundle and finally used it today. I have extremely dense hair, so I don't feel it really cut down on drying time for me. i like it but I'm not over the moon, which could be user error. My hair doesn't feel damaged or smell burned at all. I used it on tension level 7 and high heat.

I love the thickness of your hair!! Did you watch naptural85 (I think) video? She had some great tips.

Just finished using it on DD's hair and I think I'm keeping it. I'll have to see if I can try to post pics tonight or tomorrow. My disclaimer is that I was looking to get her hair straighter to be more manageable. I was not looking for bone straight or to lose all her curls and I think I got exactly what I was looking for. This will make wash day much shorter.
There's a few things I think they should change (and they probably will with a newer edition and more feedback) but I'm happy with this purchase. Plan to do other DD's hair on tomorrow.

Well ladies... it’s a keeper! I finally got done doing my hair. I used the Olaplex shampoo, followed by Curls and Potions Chebe Hydrating Mask to DC, then I proceeded to use APB’s Leave in followed by Aveda Smooth Infusion.
I blow dried om high heat and used setting 7. I really wanted my hair to be as stretched as possible. I did it in small sections because it make it easier. It took close to 2 hours to do my hair. Afterwards I ended up flat ironing my hair. My hair is not completely straight but I gave up on trying to do that a long time ago lol.
All I’m all, I love the blow dryer. It provided a very good stretch to my hair without worrying about mechanical demage that I typically would be bothered by when using regular blow dryers.
First pic is what my hair looked like before. Second pic is the first section that I used the blow dryer on, and last pic is after flat ironing. I still need to trim so please excuse my ends.

Thank you! I saw the vid, but didn't really watch in its entirety. I'll go back and review it.

I was kinda hopping that I would not like it, so I could I return it, but *sighs.* I tried one section of my hair, just to try it, and it was so soft. I had it on suction 7 and low heat, and it was soft and so straight to the roots after a minute tops. I hit my section with my GHD once, and I was golden.
I am going to have to wait to properly do my whole head to give my final verdict, but I think this might be a $300 keeper.

Some more of my thoughts.
Pros:
*Does exactly what I wanted it to do - more manageable hair and much easier wash days.
*I dried/straightened DD's hair in less than 20 minutes. The rest of the wash day routine was the same. I always detangle her hair while wet with conditioner on it. After she rinsed out the conditioner all I had to do was section and dry.
*The extras in the package. The clips are really good ones and the case it comes in is perfect.
Cons:
*Price - I think it should be more of a $150 - $180 price. No regrets about my purchase and I'm sure the price will go down, but someone has to purchase at the higher price to cover the cost of research/marketing.
*It's heavy. I was hoping it's something my pre-teens would be able to eventually use on their own. Kind of heavy to hold it over your own head.
*I wish there were a bit of air right at where the hair enters to help with the roots. DD's roots were more manageable but not as straight as the rest of her hair.
*Heat settings. DD said the 400 was cold and I felt the 800 was a bit more heat than I wanted to use on her. Maybe a 600 would have been perfect.
*Getting her edges dry and straight. I felt it didn't do as good of a job on that. Having an option to have a shot of air near the nozzle would have helped.
*An off/on button on the nozzle probably would have been a better place than on the larger box thing.

Used it yesterday, I liked it a lot. Just need to find the right products to use with it because I'm not totally in love with how my hair feels after drying. It got pretty straight and is fairly soft, but it's not very easy to comb through with a wide tooth comb or run my fingers through. Pretty sure that's just due to the products, the dryer was great. I used As I Am leave In, just because my hair sometimes doesn't act right when I leave it out 
idk. Then since I wanted to detangle each section with my Felicia Leatherwood brush before drying I also used the Curls Blueberry Bliss Leave in because it has some magic in it that allows me to brush through my hair so easily. I also used a bit of Fantasia IC Heat Protecting Serum.
I brushed through each section to make sure there were no tangles then I started with a low tension setting of 2 and low heat and was surprised at how straight my hair got. I experimented with different tension settings from 2-7 and I can't say I noticed a huge difference on my hair between the settings. I ended up just settling around 5.
I tried some sections with low heat only, some with high only and then some starting on low for half the time, then high for last half. The low heat sections felt great and got very straight. Wasn't a fan of the high heat only sections, I could noticeably feel the hot air and my hair felt a little bit more dried out. The combo low/high heat sections got a bit straighter than the low only sections and still felt good, might stick with this.
Overall it was easy to use. Loved the low manipulation of not having to constantly comb brush through, just put your hair in and hold and it's easier than the tension method. I definitely need to experiment more though to get the results I want. Will be stalking this thread to see what products everyone is using. Some pics...

For the roots make sure you move the nozzle around on her roots. Or it could be the sections need to be slightly smaller. I am able to get my roots as straight as the rest of my hair.
I think as you use it more you will discover tricks for her hair.

You're right and I definitely agree with using smaller sections would have gotten better results. I was just amazed at how quick it was going and was trying to see what results I would get with the shortest amount of time.
I think the booklet recommended 3 inch square sections and that's what I did but maybe 2 inch sections would have been better for straighter roots.
