As the winter weather wreaks havoc on hair, causing frizz and static, achieving a salon-sleek look at home can feel like an impossible task. However, beauty enthusiasts have discovered a gadget that promises to simplify the routine, and it's currently available at a significant discount.
The Half-Price Hair Hero
Argos has slashed the price of the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumiser by 50%. Shoppers can now purchase the styler for just £24.99, down from its full retail price of £50. This appliance is designed to dry and style hair simultaneously, cutting down on time and effort while aiming to deliver professional results.
The tool works by drying hair from the roots to create volume, while its rounded brush shape helps to curl the ends for a polished finish. A key feature highlighted by the brand is its Ionic Technology, which emits negative ions to break down water molecules for faster drying and to reduce frizz and static, leaving hair smoother and shinier.
Features and How to Use It
The styler comes equipped with tufted nylon bristles that detangle wet hair without excessive pulling, aiming to protect strands while building volume. Users have a choice of three heat settings and two speed options to customise their styling session. Practical design elements include a two-metre swivel cord for easy manoeuvring and an automatic safety shut-off function. The product also comes with a four-year manufacturer's guarantee.
For best results, Revlon advises starting with towel-dried hair. Section the hair and, for a smooth blow-dry, brush from roots to ends. To create volume at the ends, roll the brush outwards as you reach them. For extra lift at the roots, hold the brush in place for two to three seconds.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
The product has garnered nearly 1,500 reviews on the Argos website, with an overwhelmingly positive response. One customer stated it "dries my thick hair quickly, with excellent volume, a nice wave, no frizz", while another called it a "breeze" to use, making their life easier. A minor critique from a five-star reviewer noted the tool can be "really loud".
For those looking to invest more in their haircare routine, premium alternatives are available. The ghd duet blow-dry hair dryer is currently reduced to £279 (from £379), and Boots offers the Mark Hill Pick 'N' Mix Air Flexi Air Styler Starter Kit for £169.99, which includes multiple attachments.
With its combination of a hefty discount, positive user feedback, and multi-functional design, the Revlon One-Step presents a compelling option for UK consumers looking to combat winter hair woes without breaking the bank.
