InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

I liked this product for straightening my hair, but I already have very straight hair. I don't know if it works well on other people if their hair is curly. I tried to curl my hair but it didn't work, it only gave me wavyish hair. It says you can use it when your hair is wet but I am way too scared to use it on wet hair.

My mum decided to buy one, and wanted to try it on my hair. I felt like I was coming out of an 80's advert. There was a lot of volume. It's quite pricey for what it is, and my hair certainly wasn't shiny and smooth like in the advert. It's also quite noisy. My hair is normally quite fine and curly... but I don't think this did me any favours

My mum bought this and I've used it on both her hair and mine. Her hair is very thin and super dry from dyeing it so much, but when I used this on her hair it made her hair very soft. There is quite a technique to using it, and you do have to get used to it to get any result anywhere close to the advertisements. But I would never buy it again if her one broke. My hair is quite thick and naturally curly. I used it to straighten my hair and although it did cut down a lot of time doing so it was nowhere near as straight as it should be. Noisy, clumsy and quite disappointing really.

I did like the instyler but I didn't find it amazing. It's a good tool to use if you like straightening irons. What I found annoying about it was that one side of my hair was very simple to do and my hair looked great but when I had to do the other side it was a little complcated as the barrel only moved in one direction which ment I had to hold the tool in a awkward way to do my hair. It did notice that my hair was shiny and silky after using it again. So apart from that small complication I would still be it again.

I've used this product on and off for 2 years on my thick wavy hair. It's easy to use when straightening and it leaves my hair looking soft and shiny without fail. However I find that it requires too much effort to generate nice curls even after watching 'how-to' videos. It's also noisy and not ideal if you're the first person up in the morning getting ready for work. I don't recommend this product because it's faster to curl your hair using a normal straightener.

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.

The InStyler was great for one thing - making my hair super smooth and silky! It brushes at the same time, so it smoothes out your hair really well. However it is really bulky, so not good for my medium length, fine hair, bob cut. I also couldn't get it right to my roots. I managed to straighten my hair with it pretty well, but couldn't manoeuvre it to do curls or volume. I even watched youtube clips. I prefer my Cloud9 to this.

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 bought one of these when they first came out but didn't think it suited my fine hair. It just went frizzy & stactic like. I sent it back & got ghds but after 8 years these died so i tried my friends instyler again as i thought it may of been the way i was using it but still no go for my hair so i went with cloud 9 after a lot of research.
