Stuff We Want: REVLON One-Step Volumizer Plus, the Round-Brush Blowout Without the Arm Workout

Google Trends has waterfall bob hair trend autumn rising this morning. If you missed the memo: it's the soft, layered bob that came out of Paris Fashion Week, where the hair falls in glossy, relaxed S-shaped bends instead of a sharp blunt line. Summer had its bob. Autumn wants the bouncy one.

Here's the catch nobody puts in the haircut photo. The cut is the salon's job. The bend is yours, every morning. And the trend write-ups keep saying the same thing for straighter hair: a round-brush blow-dry, then maybe a quick pass with a big curling wand.

A round-brush blow-dry is a two-handed sport. Brush in one hand, dryer in the other, elbow somewhere near the ceiling, and the brush always picks the worst moment to get tangled at the back of your head.

The REVLON One-Step Volumizer Plus folds the dryer and the round brush into one tool. You use it on damp hair to dry, smooth and shape in one go. This is the Plus, with a smaller 2.4 in oval barrel than the classic 2.8 in Volumizer, and REVLON says it's best for chin-length to mid-length hair. That's bob territory.

The smaller barrel gets closer to the roots for lift, and REVLON lists soft waves, flips and curls as the moves it's made for. The pins are charcoal-infused and paired with tufted bristles to help grip, detangle and guide hair while it dries.

You get Low, Medium, High and Cool settings, and the brush head detaches, which makes it easier to pack and lets you use the base as a dryer. The cord is 6 feet long.

Who it's for: anyone walking out of the salon with a fresh waterfall bob (or any chin-to-shoulder cut) who wants that bend at home, and anyone tired of juggling a dryer and a round brush.

Skip it if your hair is long, since the original 2.8 in Volumizer is the one meant for mid-length to long hair, or if your hair already air-dries into perfect waves and you'd like the rest of us to stop staring.

The verdict: hand-picked for the waterfall bob spike. The haircut gets you the shape; this gets you the bounce without the elbow cramp.
