27 High-Maintenance Products That’ll Let You Stay Low Maintenance

23. A Revlon one-step hair dryer and volumizer so you can give yourself a gorgeous blowout without visiting the salon — it knocks out drying *and* styling your hair in one step to save time in the mornings too! With this under-$50 option, dropping $500+ on a Dyson Airwrap (or even $100 on the Drybar version) suddenly seems…even less appealing.
I barely know how to do anything with my hair, but this is one of those tools that’s basically like, “It’s OK…I gotchu.” Now when I blow-dry my hair, I can style it at the same time, and it’s as easy as just curling my hair around this brush as I go. I seriously never thought I’d be able to achieve a salon-worthy blowout at home, but even with my non-existent skills, I can get pretty dang close with this hot-air brush. 

Blow-drying your hair might not feel like a “high-maintenance” thing to everybody, but trust me, for some folks who are used to just letting their hair air-dry after washing (like me), it does. But when I spend that little extra effort to use this brush after washing, I legit get to enjoy bouncier, more ~voluminous~ hair with WAY less frizz than I’m used to for the next several days. Of course, I also pair this with the lamellar treatment above for best results!

It has two heat and speed settings and a cool option, and it’s designed to work on all hair textures — reviewers with 2b–4c hair mentioned it working for them.

Promising review: “I am beyond low maintenance when it comes to grooming. I’ve had frizz from regrowth. I was considering bangs and new I’d need to up my styling skills. After researching, I decided to give this tool a shot. It’s amazing!!! I’ve always owned a blow dryer, but never had much luck. The first time I used this, it was great! A little care, and the blowout lasted with nice waves from sleeping in a bun for several days until I washed it again! The regrowth frizz is tamed!” —SD
