The Rundown 👇 

It's important that hair is squeaky clean before Reving, as any product build-up will coat the hair shaft and harden when exposed to heat! For best results, hair should be freshly washed, conditioned & detangled. We recommend the surface water first be absorbed either by wrapping hair up in a towel for a few minutes or lightly toweling hair down.

*Semi-dry hair will affect the results of sealing the cuticle for frizz-free shine

1. Detangle & comb through freshly washed and conditioned hair
   1. Apply your favorite leave-in or heat protectant to boost results.
   2. Make sure to not oversaturate your hair with product, to the point where the product is dripping off of the hair onto the device. The Reverse-Air seals your cuticles as it dries, so it infuses the product into your hair, so less product = maximum benefit!
2. Section: Think through your section pattern and either pre-clip or manage your sections as you progress.
   1. Take your first section – gathered from about a 3” by 3” scalp area section and feed it into the Wand bringing the mouth right to your scalp. This is about 3 fingers in width, or about the size of the Wand opening. 
   2. Slowly move the mouth across the scalp, or lightly dab it, so you reach the full area and dry all its roots. The heat generated from the Wand kept firm or close to your scalp, will dry the section’s full length. Don’t pump the wand or move it back and forth over the length as this is not needed and will cause tangling. 
3. Setting: Test hair to determine the right levels on both the Reverse-Air and Heat
   1. Base: begin by setting your Reverse-Air Speed to Level 2. Move up level by level, one at a time until you find your ideal speed
      1. If you get any tangles, go back down by 1 setting and that is your ideal tension.
   2. Wand: For maximum stretch and 1quickest dry time, use heat setting II on the Wand (max heat 220F). The heat setting I (max heat 158F) is better for elongating curls, or for those sensitive to heat.
4. Seconds: Drying time varies by hair type & texture, but commonly ranges from 60 to 120 seconds. Pull the Wand about 2 inches from the scalp to feel if the root is still damp. When the roots and length are fully dry, pull the wand away allowing the section to fall free. Repeat this section by section until complete.
5. Cool Shot: Once the hair is 100% dry inside of the Wand, turn the Wand heat toggle to O (cool) for 10 seconds. The cool shot helps to seal the cuticle even more for maximum shine and smoothness. 

Can I use my RevAir on dry hair?

While RevAir is designed as a hair dryer, you can still “dry Rev” to freshen up your hair in between washes. Either use RevAir on totally dry sections for a few seconds (far less time than if you were drying). Or lightly spray your hair with water and Rev till dry. Dry Reving works best on hair that’s been previously dried using a RevAir and will help restore smoothness and shine on those days when you get caught in the rain, or the humidity is simply off the charts!
