InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

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.

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'm sorry if this is your "go-to" styling tool. But this thing aghhh. I have used this probably only a handful of times. I have tried it with freshly blown dry hair, hair air dried, and then second-day hair and it does not work for me. It either makes my hair go ultra flat or boofy. It also has a tendency to grab my hair in the spinning barrel or completely burn my ends off. I have tried multiple heat products and none of them change the results of this.

doesn't do what its told, made my hair have awkward flicks and went all fluffy and frizzy, I would say this product has a fair amount of false advertising alongside it

if I could rate this a zero I would. total sh#t! Im just glad I didn't pay for it (got it free with some thin lizzy foundation). it barely straightened my hair. it dragged through and broke my hair, and was very difficult to try and curl without burning my fingers and as a result I burnt my forehead. urgh I hated this

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 think if you purchase one of these you are a sucker for infomercials (I know I am!). This is such a gimmicky product that just doesn't do what it says it will. It made my hair feel yucky, more straw like and dry and it definitely did not smooth if out, if anything this made my hair MORE frizzy! I found it tricky to handle and use as well. And it is so noisy!

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.

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.

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.
