InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

So I ended up with 2 of these as I bought them through the infomercial. Glad I did, it became my go to when I needed to wash and straighten out my frizzy hair without going to the salon. The only down side of the product is after a few times it did not clamp tight enough, seemed to wear really quickly and eventually the brushes on either side came off. Glad I had the second one!

Have owned one of these in the past to trial, just because it looked decent on television.

This styler was absolute rubbish for my hair type (I have fine strands of hair that has a lot of curl and wave) I found that even though I constantly brushed my hair (so that it was smooth) before putting it through the bristles and clamping down the rotating iron, I still had bunches of hair that just got caught up/tangled in the bristles which made the "brush" part pretty much pointless (because there was always so much hair build up in it).

Because of all of the heat emanating from the iron the bristles on the brush also melted slightly outward to almost give the appearance of an over-used toothbrush.

I would absolutely not recommend this product to any person who had curly hair.

I have difficulty getting my hair straight at the best of times - it's wavy, long and extremely thick. Not just in the sense that there's a lot of hair, but the hair its self is coarse and thick. If I wanted the results off the TV using the instyler, I would have had to sit in front of a mirror for a good 2 hours going over and over sections of hair - which is not ideal for someone like me with two young children. I think I'll stick to my VS Godess til I can upgrade!

I don't straighten my hair often, but when hubby and I went out for dinner on my birthday I decided it called for pretty hair. I had washed my hair the night before and left it to dry during the day. I used a heat protectant spray and then dove in, so to speak. It is pretty simple to use, push the power button until the light bar is at the level you want it on (I used the lowest setting since my hair is quite fine). Then I just started sectioning my hair and running the instyler through my hair, which lovely results. My hair was straight and smooth, exactly what I was hoping for.

My daughter wanted her hair done as well, so I was playing around with it and tried to use the curling feature - no matter what I did I couldn't get it to curl her hair. So I don't know if there's something I didn't understand, but it didn't work for me. I wouldn't really be using it for curling so I'm happy with this product.

After using the rotating iron, i would never go back to using a flat iron. The instyler i havent used but i have used which is the exact same this except you can also use it on wet hair to instantly straighten without blowdrying. Because of having curly hair i find it helpful as blow drying makes my hair frizzy so being able to straighten it while its damp from tge shower is a life saver. I feel like it doesnt really cut time nor is it faster because you have to feed each section through slowly for a nice and smooth finish. I do find it easier to use due to the fact there is a heat gard so i dont burn myself. I really like this product but i do reccomend doing your research before hand to make sure you will like it as much as i do.

okay so i brought this because i heard i could curl my hair easily with it, swell as straighten.. so i first straightened my hair and i love it for straightening my hair!! however I've tried to curl my hair a few times with it and it doesn't curl !! i even got my friend who's amazing with hair styles to try it and well the instyler just isn't one to curl my type of hair in. it just kinda made a burning smell.. but its brilliant to straighten any sorts of hair!!

I was given this as a 21st present 3 years ago and I still use it.

I find that it's not as harsh on my hair, especially with a heat protectant, even when I'm using it often, although I also find that there are things it struggles to do that a traditional straightener can do easily like getting in to the roots and precise curls. Although the add shows it creating curls, it's quite difficult to do because the barrel is always moving so you can't hold the hair in place long enough for the curl to form, and because it doesn't get as hot at other stylers, I finds curls don't hold very long.

This product is great for people who have thick hair like me because since the brush gets at knows and also evenly distributes the hair over the barrel, you can do larger sections of hair at a time, shortening straitening time.

While there are a couple of kinks to straighten out, I am still very happy with mine and will continue to use it.

I first tried this when my sister purchased one. Initially i really loved it and it made my hair look healthy and shiny. I actually loved the results so much that i bought one for myself. Upon using it almost everyday for a few months i found it broke away quite a few of my hairs so it made lots of flyaways. Not only that the barrel couldnt get close enough to the root to straighten all the small breakages and babyhairs. All that said i guess it was a fraction faster using this then my previous straightner. For now ive purchased another straightener an my instyler sits packed away as my backup.

Bought this 4 years ago and its still going strong. I have extremely thick, curly hair and it is the only straightener I have found that straightens my hair first time and lasts for a couple of days. It is also the first straightener i have owned that didnt burn out after 6 months. Well worth the investment and will definitely buy another one when this one eventually stops working. It is a bit hard to use for curling like claimed in the advert but as i dont really curl my hair that was not an issue for me

My hair is wavy. This product I suspect is good for those with frizzier/thicker type hair. I have fine and wavy and lots of hair and its very easy to straighten or curl. I found the Instyler hard to use to get the right shape even after watching instructions and it also seemed to take longer for me. Unsure as to why that was the case but yea.
