InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

I was after a curler when I saw the Instyler and decided to give it a go despite the cheesy advertising. I have to admit, the packaging was impressive. It looked girlie and colourful yet sophisticated.

I loved that it came with a protective guard and a travel bag. i got the pink one which looks really pretty.

First I tried straightening. The results were VERY impressive. My locks came out smooth, glossy, and with added volume. But the curls were another story. Although the curls looked really nice when they first formed, they soon became strange knotted shapes...

I keep my Instyler for straightening with added volume and I would recommend it to friends

I like how my hair looks when i straighten it with the instyler, my hair has body and bounce its not dead flat on my head. I also like that i can do my hair on the lowest setting ( lower than straighteners) the instyler can be hard to get used to using as its very big in the hands and can hurt your wrists when trying to curl or flick the ends. But overall i like it and will keep using it.

I received this as a gift and was so excited. I watched the DVD, read the information booklet and even went online and watched the tutorials. I have med-longish hair and thought it would give me lovely natural waves. How wrong was I. I couldn't even straighten my hair. It left kinks and when I tried to curl it they dropped out within a matter of minutes. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone with hair longer than chin level.

Sorry ladies but in all honesty, this didn't work at all for me. I used it as the instructions said but it did not work at all! I found that the effect it had on my hair was as if I had just put the blow dryer through it for a minute. Really dry, no sheen to it, was not straight at all and the list goes on. I felt that it didn't heat up much at all and really wasn't effective. Bottom line is that it did not do the job at all.

Im not sure what it is, but maybe you need to be a rocket scientist to operate this contraption?? All I know is I tried to use it, and something happened? Maybe it's because I was using the mirror or held it in my hand the wrong way?? Because it spun in the opposite direction to my hair shaft and wrecked some of my hair. LOL I guess it's okayyyy if someone else does it, but for me.. I would NOT recommend it to anyone. Id rather use a straightener or a curler. I'm glad I tried my mums one n didn't buy one myself.

Works like a charm! I couldnt believe that it done what tv had said it would haha im not really a firm believer that most the products on tv work, but this one was the exception. Made my hair nice and flat, it had a nice shine to it after, and when i applied the serum i use, my hair was the best i had seen it in ages!

I really love it! I found it smooths my fine , flyaway hair down, quickly and easily. It makes it smooth and lovely and shiny and gives it a nice curl under , rather than just straightening . I used on a friend of mine, whose hair was looking really ratty, and it smoothed down all her sticky out bits,and made it look so much healthier. I have quite fine hair, maybe its not so good for people with thicker hair, I don't know, but I found it works perfectly! I have the smaller barrel one, and I still use it with the guard to prevent burning myself, I find the guard a great addition! I don't tend to use it for curling my hair, as I do find that other products to the curling better, but for straightening , its awesome.

My Man got me this last xmas saying I'm always complaining about my crazy hair! Its pretty weird to use at first as its really big and clunky and rather alot heavier then my old Remington straightener. Still I gave away the old one and stuck with the instyler. It comes with a heat guard so you don't burn your head and I didn't take that off till about 6 months of using. I can't for the life of me get it to curl my hair at all (probably just me being unco) But it does a good job straightening. I only need to use it on the middle setting as it is pretty hot (My hair is really really thick) but I can do nice big chunks of hair at a time effectively, which does make it alot quicker to use, not to mention how quick it is to heat up. Now I only really use it to tame my funny sticky-outy bits on bad hair days as I can't be bothered straightening everyday, not to mention how frizzy it gets with heat used on it everyday.

Pretty easy to use if you are not good with your hair. Very damaging though. This tool gets very hot on the hair and because it is held in the hair longer than a straightening iron it really fries the hair.
