Revlon One-Step Blowout Curls (RVDR5319) review

Source-based assessment checked November 2, 2026. This tool was not purchased, owned or hands-on tested for this review. The product's published operating sequence and exact U.S. retailer identity are kept separate from the Canadian family manual.

A dryer-and-curling sequence, not a standard blow-dryer routine

Revlon's U.S. Dryers directory listed the One-Step Blowout Curls, while its exact U.S. product page sits in the Curling Irons section. The page and retailer title make the intended boundary clear: this is a hybrid that dries roots with a concentrator and then curls sections with a vented barrel. Belk identifies its U.S. offer as model RVDR5319 and UPC 0761318053194. That exact identity matters because a similarly named tool could have another region or attachment set.

The first step is ordinary drying, but deliberately limited: Revlon says to use the root-drying concentrator until the roots are dry. Then the concentrator comes off and the 1¼-inch curling barrel goes on. The tool therefore has two documented setups, not a concentrator and curling barrel used together. It can make sense for someone who wants to prepare roots and then form curls with a single handle. It is not the clearest choice for someone who wants one nozzle dryer to rough-dry all lengths, diffuse curls or direct a long finishing pass.

The instructions describe a small-section technique

Revlon's routine starts with towel- or air-dried hair that is still damp, followed by detangling. Start on LOW, point the concentrator at the roots and continue until they are dry. After changing heads, section the hair and clamp about a one-inch piece near the ends. The manufacturer's instructions say to hold the wand vertically, roll the section toward the crown, keep it there until the hair feels dry, then release and draw the barrel down. Revlon also suggests switching to COOL for 10–15 seconds while the section is still clamped.

That sequence has more transitions than a fixed hot-air brush: the user must dry the roots, unlock one attachment, fit the barrel, work section by section and repeat. The payoff is a dedicated curling shape rather than an oval blowout brush. Whether that routine suits a particular hair length, section size or desired curl is personal; the published directions do not establish a guaranteed result. The page's language about “bouncy” curls and lower damage is marketing, not an independent performance or heat-exposure test.

Useful details, with important missing measurements

The U.S. page describes a 360-degree vented barrel with a triple ceramic coating, a cool tip, a six-foot swivel cord and four selector positions: Low, Medium, High and Cool. That is three warm positions and one cool position, not four separately measured temperatures or four independent fan speeds. The page gives no airflow rate, maximum operating temperature, wattage or exact U.S. unit weight. I would not use a retailer's undifferentiated item-weight field as a like-for-like hand-held weight; the finder leaves the value unknown, so the model cannot pass a numeric weight ceiling.

The exact U.S. product page says the tool is for 120 V U.S. outlets only and warns that a voltage converter can damage it. The detachable barrel and compact packing language do not make this a dual-voltage travel dryer. If international use matters, read the rating plate on the actual item and check the destination supply rather than relying on a plug adapter.

Check the exact package and the drying job

The exact product description names the root-drying concentrator and the detachable curling barrel, and the Walmart listing image shows those two pieces alongside the handle. That image is appearance evidence, not a complete box manifest. The U.S. sources reviewed do not confirm a presentation case, warranty term or full package contents. The Canadian RVDR5319F instructions support the same staged routine and basic care advice, but that is a regional sibling manual—not proof of U.S. electrical specifications, warranty coverage or every U.S. package detail.

Compared with Revlon's fixed oval One-Step Volumizer, this model changes the styling job: it offers a separate root-preparation concentrator and a narrower curling barrel rather than leaving a brush head on the handle throughout styling. Compared with the Airflow Control Dryer, it does not document the same conventional drying-and-nozzle routine or a diffuser. Those models are not interchangeable just because all move heated air through a Revlon tool.

Who should consider it

Shortlist the RVDR5319 if your priority is a two-stage routine—root drying, then air-assisted section curling—and you are comfortable changing heads and styling each section. The included root-drying concentrator meets a role-based concentrator need, but it does not change the tool into a general-purpose dryer. Choose a different configuration if a diffuser, measured light weight, storage case, dual-voltage travel use, separate air-speed control or conventional nozzle drying is essential; none of those capabilities is established here.

Before ordering, confirm the seller's listing says RVDR5319 and UPC 0761318053194, compare its exact pieces with the product page, and inspect the unit's voltage label. Verify any needed case, warranty or recall information for the item and seller you actually receive. This is research-based buying guidance, not a claim of ownership or a hands-on result.
