A couple of days ago, I saw an informercial for a new hairstyling tool called Revo Styler. It`s an electric round brush thing that is supposed to help with straightening and styling hair by grabbing the hair, spinning around and smoothing it while adding wave and body. As someone who straightens their hair every day, it grabbed my attention. The price is kind of high (about $80, although you get two- do they break that fast or what?) Anyway, here`s the link, if anyone has tried the Revo Styler or knows anything about it, I`m interested in hearing about it. http://infomercialdiscounts.com/revostyler-revo-styler/

I`ve been trying to find out if anyone has tried it. So far, no response.

I wanted one for so long after seeing the infomercials (I'm gullible) and I was waiting for the price to go down. My husband ended up buying me one for full price (he is sweet) for Christmas. Anyway, my hair is short and fine so it works okay but I do not suggest you use it if you have curly hair or long hair.

Do you think it would work on fine hair in a short bob? I have wanted to try that for awhile but saw a TV show where it got mixed reviews. It actually got stuck on one girl's hair and they had the devil of a time getting it out.

I don't personally know anyone that has tried the Revostyler but the March issue of Reader's Digest has a review of it:

"Testers who mastered it really did get straight, smooth, shiny hair. Several who didn't, despite watching the instruction video, complained of frequent tangling, which feels "like you're getting a noogie." Even the satisfied said the Revo was "clunky" and they'd pay "no more than $25" for one."

The infomercial I saw advertised two for $79.98 with $19.94 shipping and handling. $100 seems like a LOT of money for something that has a spotty success record. If you can find it for a very reasonable price it might worth a try. I've seen them for $10 - $15 on eBay - that might be the best way to try one.

If you do try it, Good Luck!

I received a RevoStyler imitation for Christmas. It was the one by Igia, I forget what their name for it was. My husband still had the receipt from buying it at the mall, so it went right back to the store.

My hair kept getting stuck in the crack where the small plastic cap part on the end joined with the brush itself. Ouch!

Definitely not for people with long hair.

It may be okay for a short bob but be careful! Another thing that you have to do (according to the instructions) is comb your hair straight when it is wet. I've read numerous posts that advise against combing your hair when it is wet. Just my two cents~

Actually I have used the Revostyler and found that it worked pretty well. I dont think it would work very well with long hair because it mainly concentrates on the ends. I have found that it straightened my hair better than anything I have ever used, with the exception of a flat iron. I also use a little bit of hair serum to calm the frizzies down at the end of my hair. Also - don't use it when your hair is really wet, only when it is damp, otherwise it gets caught. Hope this helped!

Please note: COMBING is perfectly acceptable on wet hair; in fact, it is the only detangling tool (other than your fingers) recommended for wet hair. It's BRUSHING that can chip away at the cuticle and cause damage when hair isn't dry. Whenever you visit a salon, inevitably the stylist will use a comb on your wet hair, and that's perfectly safe.
