At-Home Gel Manicure

7 Minute Hair (My Revlon Hair Dryer Brush Review)

It seems like everyone has been splurging on the Dyson hair dryer lately. I almost did too, until I did some research and decided to try out one of the Dyson hair dryer alternatives I found. I was curious how well a $56 product could work compared to what I heard all summer about a $500 product, so I put it to the test! Here's my honest Revlon hair dryer review - and how I get my hair completely done for the day in 7 minutes flat with a Dyson hair dryer alternative. I’ve never …
