Lately, we're pretty much experts at the ol' DIY beauty thing. From press on nails and attempting money-piece dye jobs, we basically do all our beauty treatments from our living room now. So believe us when we say we were very intrigued to see a hair tool going viral on TikTok for giving a salon-worthy blow dry.

Introducing the best hairdryer and round brush hybrid, the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser. Thankfully, this tool doesn't involve trying to master the awkward hairdryer and round brush action, which we could never quite get the hang of. You simply wrap sections of damp hair around the brush, twist, and within minutes, your hair is looking hella bouncy.

Sabrina Carpenter might have given the bouncy blowdry a whole new lease of life, but if you're a low-maintenance girly who doesn't like using rollers, this tool is an absolute game-changer. You'll be able to create plenty of shape, volume and bounce in just fifteen minutes. No drying and extra styling required, this tool does it all for you.

It's not just the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser, either. The haircare brand has the booster, styler and multi-styler to try out, too. Designed to make hair drying much quicker and easier, these life-changing hair tools make it look as though you've just had a trip to the salon. Don't believe us?

Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser Review

Senior Commercial Content Writer, Samantha Price

"The Revlon One-Step is my go-to hair tool. Incredible for adding volume while simultaneously smoothing out your locks, it'll save you so much time getting ready in your routine. A total game-changer, you'll be able to create bouncy, blow-dried hair in less than 15 minutes. So, is it really worth the hype? In short, yes."

"Perfect for creating a '90s blowout or perfecting a '70s-style fringe. It leaves your hair with plenty of shape, especially if you have layers. You can experiment with the direction, whether you want your hair to flick out or under. It honestly couldn't be easier. Despite having a chunky barrel, it's not that heavy to hold either. However, if your hair is on the shorter side, the Revlon One-Step Style Booster might be more suited to your hair instead, although you'll still be able to achieve impressive results."

"As you may have guessed, my hair is on the wavy side, meaning it's also prone to frizz. Before blow drying, I used the Revlon UniqONE Leave In Conditioner to condition my hair and add a heat-protective layer. Can honestly say I've never seen my hair so shiny. Once the One-Step has worked its magic, you might want to finish up with your favourite styling oil to add more shine. All in all, if you're on the fence about buying the Revlon One-Step, the results honestly speak for themselves. We are well and truly obsessed. Hair goals? Pending."
