If you follow any bloggers or influencers on Instagram, you've seen this product. Everyone raves about it, says it's the easiest thing to blow your hair dry with, best product on the market, etc, etc, etc. Oh, it's on amazon prime, and it's usually on sale.


I have been watching stories of people blowing their hair dry for months and I finally bit the bullet and bought it. It came in 3 days and safe to say I've never been more excited to blow dry my hair. When I posted the picture of this blow dryer on Insta-stories I received more DMs than I've ever received about anything. Literally 60 SIXTY DMs about a BLOWDRYER.

I'm going to be fully transparent, I hate blowing my hair dry. With a normal blow dryer it usually takes me about 30 minutes and by the end it's time for another shower because I'm sweating, my arms are tired and my bathroom feels like a sauna. For Christmas, my sweet husband got me the Dyson blowdryer and it's changed my life forever. But thats another blog post for another day.
I assumed adding this product to my routine would make life even easier. And it did, but it's not all rainbows and sunshine. Here we go.

Here's how Revlon describes the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer:

The Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer is a designed to deliver gorgeous volume and brilliant shine in one-step. The unique oval brush design features gently curved sides for smoothing the hair, while the round edges create volume at the roots and beautifully curled ends, resulting in gorgeous salon-like blowouts at home.

My first take of this dryer - It's good.
My second take of this dryer - I wouldn't buy it again.

Let me explain.

I'll start with the pros. 

Happy Thursday everyone and happy #TBT! In the spirit of continuing with "get to know me week" I thought I'd throw it back a bit. My entire life I've had long hair, except for two very vivid moments in my life. Once when I was in 6th grade and then once when I was 24. When I was in 6th grade, I thought it would be cool to cut bangs. I cut those again when I was 23, but that's a different story for another day and another blog. Both times I cut my hair I said I'd never do it again. All of my hairdressers know NOT to cut my hair. Adam, my parents, my friends, every time I bring this up, they tell me the same thing, NO.

But do you wanna know why I swore I'd never cut my hair again?

Everyone who knows me will know this answer... because I look like a Hanson Brother, Taylor Hanson.

I guess it's my luck that Taylor is the cute brother, but still, no-one, especially a girl in her twenties wants to look like a 1998 boy-bander.

Recently though, I've had this urge to cut my hair again! Everyone I know, including Adam, is screaming do not do it!! I legitimately complained about it for two years until it was excessively long again, so I can't blame those around me from telling me no. Wanna know why I wanna cut it again?

• First, my long hair is a pain in the butt. At least an hour a day is devoted to grooming. I mean, who honestly has time for that. I could be learning a foreign language in that time. Or lets be real, I would be catching up on snapchat stories, but still, an hour is a lot of time! 
• Second, every time I see Kelly Ripa's short bob, or Jennifer Lawrence and that one time she cut her hair, I die for short hair. But then I have to remind myself, I don't have a hairstylist. I'm not famous and I'm not Jennifer Lawrence. 
• Third, I kind of like the discomfort of hating my hair. I know, that sounds crazy, but I love my hair and have a lot of personal confidence from my hair. Cutting my hair is kind of a release...and super daunting. 

So, ya know what? I'm taking it to a vote! I'm placing the future of my long hair in your hands readers! I'm getting my hair done tomorrow, so you have ONE day to complete this task!

To cut or not to cut! Place your vote and I'll be sure to post the results, what I did with picture details all post haircut.

  Hey Readers, I'm counting on you.
