InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

I brought the in styler several years ago when my hair was much longer, and it worked quite well. I would curl small sections of hair around the barrel and it did quite a good job of creating ringlets. However as I have got older I now have much shorter hair and the in styler really does not work well on my short hair. The machine is too bulky to be able to get low down close to the roots and gives only a little curl to the ends.

I have thin straight hair, and my mum has thick wavy hair. We love the instyler, and it seems to work great for us, we can curl and straighten our hair easily and our hair is always so shiny and soft after using it. The only problem ive had with the in-styler is occasionally burning myself by accident, that is my fault completely but you do have to be careful :)..

The InStyler I bought is currently Out. Outside. In the trash. Such a waste of money. The barrel gets REALLY hot which leads to burnt fingers, ears and face and possibly burnt hair. The barrel only rolls in one direction so it makes it awkward to hold it on one side of your head. The brush is pointless. I get better curls from my flat iron - it's true! So in my opinion, don't go anywhere near the InStyler or any of the other "Stylers" whatever they are called.

I'm reasonably happy with it, I bought it for half price and feel like it was worth what I paid for it but not for full price. I've had a friend do my hair with it and it turned out amazing, but when I've tried to curl my own hair it hasn't worked out so well. But that's likely my lack of skill, not the tool itself! Straightening is easy to do though and works really well. Overall, I'm happy with it.

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.

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.

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 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

This was scary, it was crackly, steaming, and generally terrifying. I'm never ever going to recommend!
