InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

I wish I made my hair soft and amazing like in the adds but nope! I wish I had bought a ghd.. This one isn't great, dsnt donit any better than an ordernerry brand. Oh and it is loud!

I was lucky enough to be given my Instyler second hand a few years back to help with using less heat on my (at the time) severely damaged hair.

I have thick-ish / frizzy / wavy / dry / blonde hair down to my bra strap (my profile pic only shows the layered hair at the front the rest is behind my head.) I find this works really well for my hair type at smoothing the frizz and styling perfectly. It did nothing for my mother-in-law who has short fine hair, so I think this really depends on your hair type how well the Instyler works for you.

I only ever use the Instyler to curl my hair, not to straighten it (I use GHD for that), I just love the results I get with minimal effort - which is pretty much the same amount of time it would take me to straighten it. The curls are loose and glamourous, fall nicely and don't 'drop' out during the day and/or night.

The Instyler has 3 heat settings which I find handy. This is displayed by 3 little lights and once they stop flashing (maybe 1 or 2 minutes) you are good to 'roll'.

Its easy to hold and twist as Im curling and you can get right to the back of your hair. It is a little on the noisy side but that personally doesn't bother me. The comb part has lasted really well and the roller looks just like new even though I've thrashed it over the last 4+ years, more so in the last year. I've dropped it numerous times off the bathroom vanity and its never broken...which astounds me cause its taken some hard knocks. So if it was to conk out on me tomorrow I would feel its had a very good innings! If I was to say one bad thing about it, it would be that sometimes it can be a little difficult to stand up while waiting for it to warm up but the swivel cord helps to move to balance it.

It did take me awhile to get the hang of using it, so like anything practice is key, now I couldn't see myself without one. If this one ever stops working I really hope I can get my hands on another one. Maybe I should keep an eye out to keep a back up... hehe

I have frizzy long hair and I find this does a great job at straightening and making it nice and smooth! I've had mine for a few years now and the brush part is a bit squished looking and it's looking a bit worse for wear so is definately time for an upgrade, will probably purchase another one as I get great results with it and is so quick and easy to do once you get the hang of it. I see a lot of mixed reviews but I guess everyones hair is different so better to try it for yourself.

My aunty bought this for herself and it came with another spare one for free. Watching the ad, it seemed easy to use,but when I tried it out I found that it didn't straighten the roots of my hair as I would like it to be. It left a burn mark on the side of my ears and I wasn't aware of it. The noise that it made was loud for me and quite annoying.

I would not recommend this.

If your going to invest this much money on a product that is disappointing you might as well keep saving and by a cloud 9 or Ghd. Hair was still frizzy took ages and was noisy. A good straightener can achieve pretty much any look

My mother in law gave me this one year for Christmas- to me it seemed very gimmicky and I would never have purchased it myself. It was very tricky and awkward to use. My hair got tangled and stuck multiple times to the point where I had a panic attack, it was so stuck and it was hot and I thought my hair would burn. Upon giving it another more careful go I found it took forever to straighten or even just smooth out my hair - it was never completely straight and it seemed like so much work for the same results I could get with a hairdryer and irons in half the time. Just another gimmicky appliance that takes up too much cupboard space. I have since passed it on to a friend.

I had brought this for myself when his product fist advertised on television. It was recommended for all type hair except that when I received my in style and was going to use it first time round it didn't seem to go as plan.i was very so waning to find a easier way to straighten you hair but this product had just seem to make money hair worse as it was not propyl rotating trough my ex tired hair it was not heating up to its full potential of a in styler and yet took me a few hours to straighten th hole head of hair of mine, was defiantly not impressed and was not tempted at all to be another set

I think the inStyler is great. My mum gave me one for my birthday and i fell in love with it straight away. It wotked really well on my hair as well but i dnt know wethers its beacuse i have really fine hair or not but my mum jas really thick hair and it works on her hair but it just takes longer to achieve her desired results. For me it left my hair shiney and silky and stayed like that most of the day without product in it. It also lasted me about a year before i started to smell that old iron smell. I would reccomend this product to people with thin hair as it would work better and faster then on thicker hair.

I bought this heat styling tool because I wanted to try something different to the straightener. The thing I did like about this is that it didn't make my hair feel crispy at the ends and was easy to curl my ends inwards or have them curled away from my face. It did smooth out my hair nicely as well. I hated getting burnt using this as it would heat up really hot and getting burnt was not fun at all! I found that it was noisy as well which I didn't really like either. You definitely had to brush out all the small knots and tangles before using this. Overall it did give smooth, soft results but getting burnt, I wasn't a fan of this.
