Revair Hair Dryer is a very Interesting Technology
The RevAir Reverse Air Dryer is a $400 tool which uses reverse drying technology to dry your hair in half the time. This hairdryer also claims to have much less hair damage. It leaves your hair sleek and smooth after drying. However, there are many technologies on the market that dry hair very well and some of them claim to have minimal hair damage. So lets see how this interesting hair dryer stack up against some stiff competition.
Quick Rating Rundown
What is Revair?
RevAir’s friction-free reverse-air technology works its gentle magic, softly and effortlessly drying your hair from root to tip, while delicately smoothing each strand without disrupting your natural curl patterns.
Okay, RevAir is not your ordinary hair tool, not by a long shot! as mentioned above, this hairdryer pulls your hair into the Wand using reverse-air suction. So while the hair is under suction it creates tension that aligns and smooths every single hair strand! That sounds Amazing!
Another advantage for this tech is you’ll be saving some serious time and effort, ’cause it dries your hair 70% faster! But wait, there’s more! It’s not just about speed, it’s also about taking all the necessary precaution with your hair. It’s got 7 tension settings, i.e. how much suction this hair dryer will provide. And here’s a cherry on top – RevAir made sure it doesn’t get too hot-headed. It’s got internal temperature sensors that keep the heat in check, staying at a safe range from 158 degrees on low to 220 degrees on high end.
Some of the things Revair needs to fix…
First thing, it’s too loud! The machine needs to be muffled. Second, the wand needs to be lighter. It’s not just the wand, it’s the weight of the hose behind it. Third, the room heats up very fast, I mean faster than using the ordinary hair dryer. This points to the efficiency issues that need to be considered. So, these are the secondary issues. Let’s get to the big issues.
The results need to be much better. It’s great that their is tension on the hair, but it seems like hair need a bit of guidance and/or it needs to be tamed a bit. The hair is fluttering a bit too much while is the wand producing unnecessary frizz. Second issue, the hair roots are not getting any love. Revair Hairdryer could use some of the hot air to gently blow on the roots, which would also lift the roots a bit. This is the third problem, because the roots stay wet, the hair looks flat after using the tool.
There are no perfect tools on the market. If Revair start improving in some of the areas, I think they have a promising future and have already have a great tool to start with.
My Thoughts on the Revair Hair Dryer
So, let’s answer the most obvious question, yes, it can be used as a vacuum cleaner. I mean, that’s a bonus. But is this just a crazy idea, to retrofit a vacuum cleaner with a heated head/wand and call it Revair. Absolutely not! This is a brilliant idea. So how well does it work?
It leaves hair feeling soft, sleek and straight. Plus it got the fun factor. However, can the hair be more sleek and straight? Unfortunately, yes, almost every hair dryer will do a better job and they will do it quicker. When it come down to to low heat setting(s), Dyson is on the market and it provides low heat setting just like Revair. Matter of fact, Dyson has a few tools that will do it using low heat, Dyson Airwrap and Dyson Airstrait. As Well, there are other brands like Ghd Duet Styler and Revlon One-Step Air Straight that compete for the same market.

Comparing Revair vs Dyson
While putting the RevAir up against the Dyson, I noticed several things. The Dyson Airwrap dried my hair in half the time as the Revair and left my hair smooth, voluminous, and really showcased my fresh haircut. The RevAir left my hair very straight, but didn’t add any volume and did add extra frizz. My hair also felt very tangled towards the bottom and a little damp towards the roots, even after 2 passes. The RevAir hair dryer is a really cool concept, but it does lack versatility. Both the ReVair and the Dyson are expensive, but the Dyson is a more versatile tool, giving you more bang for your buck in comparison to the RevAir, which only does one thing (drying the hair). In my opinion, if you are planning to invest in a great hair drying system, I would recommend putting your money towards the Dyson Airwrap.
