It depends on which Revlon hair dryer brush you have. The popular Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer (the classic oval “one-step” tool) is generally not detachable in the sense of swapping brush heads—the brush and handle are designed as a single unit. If the bristles wear out or you want a different barrel size, you typically replace the whole tool rather than snapping on a new attachment.
However, Revlon also sells multi-styler kits and hot air brush sets that do use interchangeable attachments. Those versions usually have a base handle plus removable barrels/brush heads that lock into place. So if someone says their “Revlon brush” is detachable, they’re often referring to a multi-attachment styler, not the original one-step oval brush.
Check the neck where the brush meets the handle. A detachable model usually has a release button, twist-lock collar, or obvious seam with printed lock/unlock icons. Non-detachable models look seamless at the join and won’t have a release mechanism. The product name on the box or handle is another giveaway: “One-Step” typically indicates a fixed head, while “multi-styler,” “attachments,” or “set” suggests removable pieces.
Detachable brush heads can be easier to store, let you switch between smoothing and volumizing shapes, and make it simpler to replace just an attachment if it gets damaged. Fixed-head tools are usually more straightforward—one tool, one result—and tend to feel solid because there’s no connection point between pieces.

On models designed with attachments, yes—brush heads and barrels can be swapped by using the release or lock mechanism. On one-piece hot air brushes, the head isn’t meant to be replaced separately, so you’d replace the entire tool if needed.
