InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

I brought one a while back but my teenage daughter has taken ownership of it - I only used it once and didn't like it but perhaps it was just because I didn't know what to do = my daughter on the other hand loves loves loves it - she uses it every single day to do her hair (only for straightening mind you) - she has very thick hair - she has burnt her fingers a couple of times though

I have used this for about a week then never again. I was really excited that it could curl hair, so once I got it home and plugged it in, I started … and failed, over and over again.

I had a friend over at the time so we were both trying it on each other’s hair to see if we could get it to make curls. After what felt like forever and looking for tips online we got it to make very loose curls which isn’t what I was after but went with it any way.

We had plans to go out that night so we curled each other’s hair as we were unable to use it on ourselves. And off we went.

The next morning I woke up and my hair had a really really unusual smell. Now this wasn’t from going out I had been to the place we went a thousand time before and never has my hair smelt the way it did. I text my friend to ask her if she had the same problem and yep her hair had a funny smell too. It was almost as though our hair had been cooked and even after washing my hair the smell stayed a few days.

Giving it another chance I used it again and the same thing happened. I will never use it again and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

Very hard to use, the outcome wasn't up to my expectations, and I was left with a bad smell!

I have very thick hair so it didnt work as well in my hair as people i know with thinner hair. it did give my hair a nice shine tho and would probably give it another go

I have tried these numerous times and I don't think I can recommend them to anyone. They are ok if someone else is doing your hair. The rotator bit only goes one way so it smooth's down one side of the head and on the other side it runs up the cuticle. Also my mother in law has burnt herself a couple of times even with the guard on.

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.

My mum recommended this to me because it worked for her, as for myself it didnt do anything amazing. I dont like that it can only be controlled with one hand, i kept burning my hand. I have thick hair and it kept getting caught in the roller. Not a pleasant feeling at all. Because i have thick hair i had to go over the same patch a few times and still it didnt give the desired results.

Being a hairdresser I have had heaps of clients asking me about these and I have a few clients who own them and say they are not worth the money and dont do a good job, I have tried one myself from a friend and was not impressed at all, they are okay for curling but not the best, I just dont like the feel of it going through my hair. But everyone is different and it could of just been the one I was using.

My family gifted it to me in Feb this year. Its the best thing thats been invented for hair. When I started using it I burnt my face and my fingers a few times. But eventually got the knack. Haven't used a hair dryer since. My hair look much healthier. They always look like I have come out of a salon, shiny as well as awesome looking. The only downside for me is not being able to curl my hair. Just can't get the hang. Don't have any issues with the brush so far as some of the others have mentioned in their reviews.

I received the InStyler as a Birthday present from my partner recently and I love it!

My hair it very naturally thick, frizzly and curly so it takes a long time to straighten this mess out! But with the InStyler I found that its much quicker as I dont have to go OVER and OVER one strand of hair just to get it straight. I believe this is a great tool for woman with thicker, more unruly hair. Or for woman who want volume rather than a "Flat" look.

my friend got this for me awhile ago, and it works really good in my hair, i find it easy to use, it heats up quickly. leaves my hair rather solf and managable. only downfall is that the bristles on the brush have gone all bent and spread out. aswell as i cant seem to master the curling part of the styling tool! but it doesnt bother me. i do like it but i personally wouldnt spend that much money on it.
