Diffuser Week: Revlon Ion Pro Stylist

Round two in my diffuser series: The Revlon 1875 Watt Ion Pro Stylist

Price: ~ $20 at Target, with dryer and other hair accessories

Bowl Size: 5 1/2 in diameter

Bowl Depth: Again, slight; more like a saucer

Finger Length: 1 inch

Hole Size: Varies, mostly medium

(Yes, that is dust)

Easily Adaptable to Other Dryers: No

Pros:

• The bowl is big enough to diffuse a decent amount of hair at a time
• Holes are small enough that extra frizz from drying isn't a factor
• Good for travel (provided you bring the only dryer it attaches to)

Cons:

• Doesn't do much to encourage curl (5-6 on a scale of 1-10)
• Fingers are short and mostly made of hard plastic, which can be hard on the scalp

Overall Experience:

This diffuser didn't leave much of an impression on me, as evidenced by the fact that I can't really come up with things for either list. I also switched to a weird hybrid diffuser as soon as I could.

This diffuser didn't do much for me. It didn't help with curl definition. It was hard to keep my hair cupped into it when pixiecurling because the "bowl" isn't really a bowl and the fingers are too short for my curls to wrap around. It would work in a pinch, but I wouldn't buy this dryer because of the diffuser attachment.

Would I buy again? No. I think the dust says it all.

I do however love, and am currently using, the dryer. So it's pretty much the opposite of my last post. If Revlon sold this dryer with the first diffuser I reviewed, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
