19. This device includes over temperature sensors. If the unit becomes overheated while using it,
the heater will stop and the Lighted Handle will blink quickly. If the unit continues to overheat
because of a dirty or clogged lter, the heat and reverse-air motor will shut down until it has cooled

Using Your RevAir Device
Before you get started
PLEASE READ THE ‘IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS’ IN THIS
REVAIR OPERATING MANUAL BEFORE PROCEEDING
Designed to work on all hair types, RevAir’s patented technology is customizable so you can get the best
results for your unique hair.
When considering your hair type; wavy, curly, coily or straight, also consider its length, width and density.
Think too about its porosity - is it damaged by chemical treatments such as coloring, bleaching or relaxing?
These are all important factors in determining the reverse-air speed and heat levels needed to get the best
results for your unique hair. Be prepared to experiment a bit to get it perfect for your hair type.
Reverse-air provides the tension needed to straighten hair. Dierent hair types need dierent levels of
reverse-air speed. Chances are, hair which doesn’t need high speed, is not suited for a high level. If the
speed is too high for your hair, it could slightly tangle so you’ll need to nd what works best for you.
In general, healthy and thicker hair (thick strands) tend to work well on higher levels. Those same levels may
not suit damaged or ne hair. Also, shorter hair may manage better than longer hair at higher levels. There
are no hard and fast rules, though, so start low and slow and test your way up.
We recommend you begin with clean, towel dried hair. Before feeding hair into the powered-on device, be
sure the Reverse-air Speed is set no higher than Level 2. Pull hair out of the wand after 10 seconds and
check to see if any tangles are beginning to form at the ends. If you detect none, and think you need more
speed, move up to the next level for another 10 seconds. Repeat until you nd your ideal tension level.
Level 2
Setting
Reverse-Air Speed
myrevair.com 13
The eectiveness of reverse-air means less heat is needed than when blow drying. So, even on high, RevAir
heat is relatively low. Still, your hair may require even less, so we recommend you experiment with both high
and low settings. As a nishing step, turning heat to O duplicates the cold shot found on most blow dryers.
II = High Temperature (800 watts)
O = No Heat | Cold Shot
I = Low Temperature (400 watts)
Note: The Wand includes an internal sensor to monitor heat levels minimizing heat exposure. The heat will
not turn on unless the Base Unit is powered on.
Temperature Control
TROUBLESHOOTING TIP
With the Wand set to ( I ) or ( II ), and the Base powered on, if you do not feel heat
at the Wand Mouth, double check your Wand to Hose connections. See page 18
for Wand connection troubleshooting.
If you continue to experience issues, please email support@myrevair.com or visit
support.myrevair.com.

How you Rev is likely to be as unique as your hair. So, take your time exploring dierent techniques
to see what works best for you.
First, determine your best heat and speed level settings*. Next, follow these steps to Rev
your hair: *See “Before You Get Started” section to determine your best Rev settings.
Wash, towel dry and comb your hair. You can use your favorite leave in conditioner, or heat protecting
spray. However, it is important to avoid sticky xatives such as mousse, gels, and setting sprays.
1.
Power on the Base Unit. Set the Temperature Control (Wand) and Reverse-Air Speed Dial
(Base Unit) to the level ideal to your hair type and condition.
CAUTION: When using Reverse-air speed Level 1, use Low (l) or No (O) Heat. High Heat should
only be used when Reverse-Air Speed Dial is set at Level 2 or higher.
2.
Begin with a hair section taken from a 3 inch by 3 inch area of scalp, slightly more or less depending
on how dense/thick your hair is.
Too much hair will limit the air ow while too little hair will compromise the reverse-air velocity and
smooth ow. Those with average hair density are likely to be able to complete their head in 7-10
sections.
For added volume, we recommend having one section be the crown where you Rev your hair
straight up.
3.
Feed the section of hair into the Wand until the Wand Mouth reaches your roots. Slowly move
the Wand to reach all roots of that section, repositioning slightly or lightly “dabbing”, as necessary.
Pull Wand away slightly to check dryness of section. Each section can commonly take 30 to 90
seconds to fully complete.
Note: Hair should not be left in the Wand for more than 120 seconds continuously. Check
hair periodically throughout drying process. Do not pump the Wand, repeatedly moving
it up and down the hair length, as this is not necessary and may compromise smooth air
ow.
4.
Once that section of hair is dry, repeat, section by section, until complete.
5.
How to Rev Your Hair
The Wand includes a sensor to monitor
heat levels. Should a section of hair be
too large in volume, the Heat Chamber
will shut down indicating the section size
should be reduced.
Removing the section of hair from the
Wand will allow cooling. Simply remove the
section and retry with less hair. The Heat
Chamber will resume automatically.
Note: The shut-o will be indicated by a
change in sound from the Heat Chamber
Blower during use.

Strain
Relief
While holding the Strain Relief on the Hose in one hand, and the neck of the Wand in your other hand,
complete a sharp counter clockwise turn to unlock the wand from the hose. Carefully pull the wand from
the hose.
Cleaning the Wand and/or Hose interior.
If you nd it necessary to clean the interior of your Wand or Hose for any reason, we recommend using a damp
microber or sponge brush, after removing the Wand from the Hose. Gently insert the brush and swab the
interior of the Wand and/or Hose. Do not run water or cleaner through the Wand or Hose. Allow components
to air dry completely before reassembly.
