Diffuser Week: Revlon 1875 Watt Chrome

Hi all! I'm finally getting around to posting about my experiences with different diffuser attachments. I decided that instead of doing one long post, it would be easier for all involved to split it up. I have seven diffusers to talk about, so expect a new post every day this week!

If you follow my blog, you know that my hair needs a lot of encouragement to curl. I can only scrunch product in and diffusing is a MUST. Having a good diffuser is important to me, so I'm very picky about what I use.

With that in mind, let's get started!

First up: the Revlon 1875 Watt Chrome Dryer diffuser attachment

(I'm 85% sure this is the diffuser attachment I used)

Price: ~ $20 at Target, with dryer

Bowl Size: Let's say average? No exact measurement available

Bowl Depth: Slight (aka not really a "bowl," more like a "saucer")

Finger Length: About 1 1/2 inches

Hole Size: Varies, but overall medium-small

Easily Adaptable to Other Dryers: Yes?

Pros:
  • Flexible fingers made diffusing for long periods of time more comfortable
  • Good curl definition (7-8 on a scale of 1-10)
  • Bowl is large enough to dry a good portion of hair at time

Cons:
  • Only available with dryer, which began having electrical problems 4 months into usage

Overall Experience:
This was my first diffuser and my second overall favorite that I have used. It really helped encourage curl definition - I attribute that to the finger length. I have a lot of hair and it was able to hold enough so that my drying time wasn't ridiculous. The holes were small enough that I didn't feel I was getting extra frizz from the dryer.

Unfortunately my dryer started acting up so I had to get a new one. I accidentally threw the diffuser attachment away with the dryer. I have no idea what I was thinking. Even though I LOVED this attachment, I didn't want to buy the same dryer in case it had the same electrical problems.

Would I buy again? Yes! But I won't buy this dryer specifically for the diffuser attachment.
