The best hairstyles require high-quality tools. Not only do they make styling your hair fast and painless, but they also help you avoid unwanted heat damage, frizz, and breakage. That said, the best tools aren't always affordable. Luckily, the Revlon One-Step Volumizer styles hair with ease without breaking the bank. In fact, it's more affordable than ever during the Amazon Summer Beauty Event.

We wrote a piece comparing this to the Airwrap and were blown away by how a product that is nearly a tenth of the price could give the Airwap a serious run for its money.

It may be hard to believe that the Revlon One-Step boasts similar quality to popular styling tools like the Dyson Airwrap, which cost hundreds of dollars more. But we've tried it for ourselves and were impressed. "I'm not the type of person to spend very much on my hair, so when I heard about a Dyson Airwrap dupe that costs less than $50, I was sold," says Sarah Saril, deals and how-to-watch editor on the Reviews Team. "Of course, at hundreds of dollars less, the Revlon One-Step isn't nearly as feature-packed or smoothly designed as the Dyson users compare it to. It is, however, a versatile, all-in-one tool that gives me a salon-worthy blowout in minutes. I can't recommend it enough, especially with this ongoing discount."

The One-Step features three speeds and heat settings, plus a cool shot feature, allowing you to control how much heat you're using on your hair, though you'll still need to use a heat protectant, of course. The oval brush design is easy to hold and perfect for smoothing down hair while also lifting the roots and adding volume. But it's the price that's really hard to beat. "It's not the best deal we've ever seen—this tool specifically can hit some very low prices during the holidays. Regardless, it's still a worthwhile deal, especially since promotions for it have been few and far between in recent years," Saril explains.

With nearly 400,000 five-star reviews, Amazon shoppers can't get enough of the One-Step either. "I've been using this for four years, and it has completely transformed my hair routine! If you're tired of juggling a brush and a blow dryer, this all-in-one tool is an absolute game changer," said one reviewer. "After four years of regular use, the volumizer is still going strong. It has maintained its performance, and I'm genuinely impressed by its durability…My hair looks smoother and has significantly less frizz compared to using a standard blow dryer."

Shoppers love how well it works for different hair types. "My mom, daughter, and I all have one…My mom and daughter have very thick hair, and mine is thinner. My daughter and I have tons of natural curl. We all used to take an hour blow drying and styling, but this tool cut our time in half," said another reviewer. "We have all experienced our best hair days since using it…The brush doesn't tangle in your hair so you can really get in and create volume. It's a fairly light tool and tons easier than managing a round bush and blow dryer."
