Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus
A hot-air brush with a 2.4-inch oval head, four heat settings, a detachable head and a 4-year limited warranty, with no price or wattage on Revlon's own page
Scored on the published rubric, from documentation, pricing and verified user reports.
Best for: People with straight to wavy, shoulder-length or longer hair who want a smooth, voluminous blowout from one tool, and who care more about a long warranty than about a published spec sheet.
Verdict
The Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus is the current version of the hot-air brush that made the category: a dryer motor inside an oval brush head, so you dry and shape in one pass. Revlon's product page, which we had to render in a headless browser because the site blocks ordinary fetches, lists a 2.4-inch oval head, four heat settings labelled low, medium, high and cool, a detachable head with a lock-in release button, a ceramic titanium barrel, tourmaline ionic technology, charcoal-infused nylon pins and a 4-year limited warranty, all checked October 16, 2026. It does not list wattage, weight, cord length or a price; the Buy Now button sends you to retailers. This is a documentation review built from Revlon's product, FAQ and returns pages, not from use. On that evidence the Volumizer Plus is the simplest tool in this group and carries the longest warranty, which is why it scores well on ease and value. It scores low on features because so much of the sheet is missing, and because Revlon's percentage claims on the page carry no stated basis.

Where it is strong
- Four heat settings, low, medium, high and cool, listed on the product page checked October 16, 2026; the original One-Step had three
- 4-year limited warranty stated on the product page, double what Dyson and Shark list for their dryers
- Detachable head with a lock-in release button, which makes the tool packable and lets the brush be cleaned separately
- 2.4-inch oval head, larger than the original, which Revlon says adds volume from root to end
- Ceramic titanium barrel with tourmaline ionic technology, per the feature list
- One tool, one motion: no attachments to choose and no separate dryer step
Where it falls short
- Revlon's page lists no wattage, weight, cord length or airflow figure, so the tool cannot be compared on power with the Dyson or Shark
- No price on the official page; retail prices vary by store and we do not quote them
- The page's claims of 75% shinier blowouts, up to half the time and 50% less heat exposure give no comparison basis or test description
- No ratings or reviews module on Revlon's page, so there is no seller-side owner count to report
- It is a brush, not a dryer: rough-drying or diffusing is not what it does

What the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus actually is
The One-Step is a hot-air brush: a dryer motor and heater in the handle, and an oval brush head that the air blows through. You use it on damp hair the way you would use a round brush and a dryer together, except there is only one thing in your hand.
The Plus is the second generation. Revlon's page lists what changed: a 2.4-inch oval head instead of the original's smaller one, a fourth heat setting, a detachable head with a lock-in release button, a slimmer handle and charcoal-infused nylon pins.
Revlon still lists the original Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer, a Blowout Curls version and an Air Straight version on its dryers page, so the Plus sits in a family rather than replacing the line.
How we grade every grooming device is explained on our editorial policy page. For a full-power dryer rather than a brush, start with our Dyson Supersonic Nural review or the Shark FlexStyle review.
Who the Volumizer Plus is best for
The feature list describes a tool for one job done simply.
- Straight and wavy hair, shoulder length or longer, where the 2.4-inch oval head has enough hair to grip and lift
- People who want a salon-style blowout without a second tool or the coordination of brush plus dryer
- Warranty-first buyers: 4 years is twice what Dyson and Shark list
- Travellers and small-bathroom owners, because the head detaches and the handle is slim
- Anyone who found the original One-Step too hot on high and too slow on low, since the Plus adds a medium setting
- Who should skip it: tight curls and coils that need a diffuser, very thick hair that needs rough-drying first, and anyone who wants a published wattage
What is on the spec sheet, and what is missing
Revlon's page lists seven features for the Plus: a 2.4-inch oval head, activated charcoal pins, a sleek handle, four heat settings (low, medium, high, cool), a detachable head with a lock-in release button, a ceramic titanium barrel, tourmaline ionic technology and a 4-year limited warranty.
That is the whole sheet. There is no wattage, no weight, no cord length, no airflow figure, no voltage note and no model number in the page text. The image file on the page carries the code RVDR5298N1, but Revlon does not print a model number for shoppers to read.
We tried the ordinary page fetch, which Revlon's site refuses, and then a full headless-browser render of the product page, the FAQ and the returns page on October 16, 2026. None of them carries the missing numbers. If Revlon publishes a specification sheet elsewhere, it is not linked from the product page.
For comparison, Dyson lists wattage, airflow, weight, cable length and dimensions for the Supersonic Nural, and Shark lists wattage, amperage, cord length and warranty for the FlexStyle.
How the pricing is structured
There is no price on Revlon's page. The Buy Now button sends you to retailers, and the dryers catalogue page lists products without prices too. Revlon's returns page confirms that revlonhairtools.com sells direct for some products, with a 30-day return window, but the Volumizer Plus page does not show a cart.
Because retail prices for this tool change frequently and differ by store, we do not quote one. What we can say with confidence is that the Volumizer Plus sits in a different price class from the $349.99 Shark FlexStyle and the $449.99 Dyson Supersonic Nural, and that its 4-year warranty is longer than either.
The value score of 4.3 reflects that combination: the longest warranty in the group on a tool that costs a fraction of the others. If Revlon published a price and a wattage, the score would be easier to defend in numbers.
We keep the current list prices for every dryer and styler we grade on the hair dryers and stylers topic page.
Where the Plus sits in Revlon's One-Step family
Revlon's dryers catalogue, read October 16, 2026, lists four One-Step tools: the original Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer in several colours, the Salon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler with a large paddle head, the One-Step Blowout Curls with a round barrel, and the One-Step Air Straight.
The Volumizer Plus is the direct successor to the original oval-head Volumizer. The Styler is for smoothing without lift, the Blowout Curls for bends and curls, and the Air Straight for straightening with air rather than plates.
If volume at the root is the goal, the Plus is the one Revlon's own descriptions point to. If you want curls from a hot-air tool, the Blowout Curls or a multi-styler such as the FlexStyle is the better match; we have not read the Blowout Curls specification in full, so we do not grade it here.
Ease of use: what the score is built from
The 4.5 ease score is the highest of the four tools in this group, and it comes from simplicity. There are no attachments to choose, no hinge to rotate and no app. You pick one of four heat settings and brush.
The detachable head is the Plus's most practical change. Revlon describes it as travel and storage friendly, and it also means the pins can be cleaned of hair and product away from the motor.
The added medium setting matters more than it sounds. The original One-Step's three settings were low, high and cool, which left a wide gap for fine hair. Four settings give a usable middle.
What we cannot score is weight and balance, because Revlon does not list a weight. A hot-air brush is held at arm's length above the head for minutes at a time, so weight matters more here than for a dryer, and the absence is a real gap.
Features: a short list with unsupported percentages
Features score 3.3. The documented features are real and useful: four heat settings, a ceramic titanium barrel, tourmaline ionic technology, charcoal-infused nylon pins and a 2.4-inch oval head. For a hot-air brush that is a complete set.
The score is held down by what surrounds those features. Revlon's page claims 75% shinier blowouts, drying in up to half the time, 50% less heat exposure and a motor with 40% longer life. None of the four claims names what it is compared against or how it was measured.
We do not treat those percentages as specifications. They may be true against the original One-Step, or against air-drying, or against something else; the page does not say. A reader should not pay for them.
The real feature comparison is simpler. The Volumizer Plus does one thing, smooth volumised blowouts, with no separate dryer mode and no curling barrel. The Shark FlexStyle and Dyson Airwrap do that job and others, at a much higher price. We explain what dryer specs mean in plain terms on our articles page.
Support, warranty and returns
The 4-year limited warranty is the strongest support fact on any page in this group. Revlon's returns page adds the practical detail: warranties vary by product, the warranty card is in the box, and consumer services needs the model number to confirm the terms for your unit.
Returns are 30 days for purchases made on revlonhairtools.com. For purchases from a retailer, Revlon directs you back to that retailer's customer service, with Revlon consumer services as a fallback.
Revlon's FAQ covers dual voltage, flat iron and curling iron temperatures, but the Volumizer Plus page does not state whether the tool is dual voltage, so travellers should assume it is not.
The support score of 3.7 balances a long warranty against a thin support site: no published repair process, no price, no spec sheet and no owner reviews on the official page.
What owners report
Revlon's product page has no ratings or reviews module, so there is no seller-side count to report, unlike Dyson's and Shark's pages.
The One-Step family is one of the most-reviewed hair tools at major US retailers, but those pages are retailer property and the counts cover several One-Step versions at once. We do not quote a figure we cannot tie to the Plus specifically.
What we can say from the product documentation is where owner complaints would most plausibly cluster: the tool is held overhead, and Revlon does not publish its weight; it applies heat through the pins, and Revlon publishes no temperature. Those are the two numbers to check in any owner review you read.
We will add an independent owner-rating figure for the Volumizer Plus when a source we can read publishes one for this exact model.
Alternatives
Shark FlexStyle. Choose the FlexStyle if you want a real 1,600 W dryer mode plus brushes and curlers, and can spend $229.99 to $349.99. Otherwise choose the Revlon if a brush blowout is the whole job. Full detail in our Shark FlexStyle review.
Dyson Supersonic Nural. Choose the Dyson if you want a documented 1,600 W, 13.3 l/s dryer with scalp-distance heat control and five attachments at $449.99. Otherwise choose the Revlon for simplicity and a 4-year warranty. See our Dyson Supersonic Nural review.
Dyson Airwrap Co-anda2x. Choose the Airwrap if you want curling, straightening and volumising from one premium tool at $749.99. Otherwise choose the Revlon, which does the volumising part for a small fraction of the money.
Our ranked guide to this group will be listed on the guides index once published.
Bottom line
The Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus is the simplest and best-warrantied tool in this group, and the worst documented. Four heat settings, a 2.4-inch detachable oval head, ceramic titanium and tourmaline ionic construction and a 4-year limited warranty are all on Revlon's page. Wattage, weight, cord length and price are not.
It earns 3.9 overall. Buy it if you want a one-pass smooth blowout and a long warranty; skip it if you need a diffuser, a rough-dry mode or a spec sheet you can compare. Our approach to grading is on the about page.
Buy it if
- You want a smooth, voluminous blowout in one pass and do not need curling barrels or a concentrator
- Warranty length matters: 4 years is the longest in this group
- You travel or have a small bathroom, since the head detaches and the handle is slim
- You want a medium heat setting, which Revlon added in this version over the original three-setting One-Step
Skip it if
- You want to know the wattage before you buy: Revlon does not publish it on its page
- You have tight curls or coils and need a diffuser: this is a smoothing and volumising brush
- You want a tool to rough-dry very wet, thick hair quickly: a full dryer or a multi-styler with a dryer head suits that better
Frequently asked
How much does the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus cost?
Revlon's own product page shows no price as of October 16, 2026; its Buy Now button routes to retailers. Retail prices vary by store and change often, so we do not quote a figure. Revlon does list a 4-year limited warranty on the same page.
What is the difference between the One-Step Volumizer and the Volumizer Plus?
Per Revlon's product page, the Plus adds a 2.4-inch oval head, a fourth heat setting (medium, alongside low, high and cool), a detachable head with a lock-in release button, a slimmer handle and charcoal-infused nylon pins. The original Salon One-Step is still listed on Revlon's dryers page.
How many watts is the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus?
Revlon does not state wattage on the product page, and we could not read it from any official Revlon page on October 16, 2026 even after rendering the site in a headless browser. If wattage matters to you, check the box or the instruction booklet before buying.
Is the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus dual voltage?
Revlon's FAQ says dual voltage is indicated on the packaging and under Features on the product page, and that using a voltage converter is not recommended for appliances that are not dual voltage. The Volumizer Plus feature list on the page does not mention dual voltage, so assume it is not.
What is the warranty on the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus?
The product page lists a 4-year limited warranty. Revlon's returns page says warranties vary by product, the warranty card is in the box, and consumer services needs your model number to confirm terms. Purchases from revlonhairtools.com can be returned within 30 days.
Does the Revlon One-Step Volumizer Plus damage hair?
Revlon claims 50% less heat exposure from its ceramic titanium tourmaline technology but gives no comparison basis on the page. Any heated brush applies heat directly to hair; using the low or medium setting and keeping the brush moving is the sensible approach. We do not give hair-health advice.
