Used properly on well-maintained hair, RevAir should not cause tangling. When hair tangles, it can be due to a few different factors such as tension setting, hair section size, dampness of the hair, products used, etc.
If you do experience tangling it is likely because:
- The Reverse-Air speed is too high for your hair
- Try bringing down the speed to a level where tangles do not occur.
- Your section sizes are too small or too large
- We typically recommend section sizes of 3 inches by 3 inches in diameter. Experiment with larger/smaller section sizes to find a size that works best for you
- Your section consists of layered strands of dramatically different lengths.
- If you have layers, the hair will be much less dense at the ends than higher up. This throws off the aerodynamics inside the wand and hose. Be sure to section your hair according to its layer length and group similar lengths together in a section.
- Your ends need a trim
- If it has been some time since your last trim, it's possible that your ends are much less dense than the rest of the length and/or may consist of a lot of split ends.
- Trimming your hair regularly enhances your RevAir experience and is just plain good for hair health.
- If it has been some time since your last trim, it's possible that your ends are much less dense than the rest of the length and/or may consist of a lot of split ends.
- Your hair has been chemically treated or has excessive heat damage
- If this is the case, Rev on lower speeds and try using a moisturizing leave-in conditioner to help with any undesired texture
- You're using the wrong type of product before Reving
- Products such as mousse, gels, or paste cause hair to stiffen and harden when exposed to heat, and we recommend avoiding these before Reving
