InStyler Rotating Hot Iron Hair Styler

I have difficulty getting my hair straight at the best of times - it's wavy, long and extremely thick. Not just in the sense that there's a lot of hair, but the hair its self is coarse and thick. If I wanted the results off the TV using the instyler, I would have had to sit in front of a mirror for a good 2 hours going over and over sections of hair - which is not ideal for someone like me with two young children. I think I'll stick to my VS Godess til I can upgrade!

Have owned one of these in the past to trial, just because it looked decent on television.

This styler was absolute rubbish for my hair type (I have fine strands of hair that has a lot of curl and wave) I found that even though I constantly brushed my hair (so that it was smooth) before putting it through the bristles and clamping down the rotating iron, I still had bunches of hair that just got caught up/tangled in the bristles which made the "brush" part pretty much pointless (because there was always so much hair build up in it).

Because of all of the heat emanating from the iron the bristles on the brush also melted slightly outward to almost give the appearance of an over-used toothbrush.

I would absolutely not recommend this product to any person who had curly hair.

I had brought this for myself when his product fist advertised on television. It was recommended for all type hair except that when I received my in style and was going to use it first time round it didn't seem to go as plan.i was very so waning to find a easier way to straighten you hair but this product had just seem to make money hair worse as it was not propyl rotating trough my ex tired hair it was not heating up to its full potential of a in styler and yet took me a few hours to straighten th hole head of hair of mine, was defiantly not impressed and was not tempted at all to be another set

My mother in law gave me this one year for Christmas- to me it seemed very gimmicky and I would never have purchased it myself. It was very tricky and awkward to use. My hair got tangled and stuck multiple times to the point where I had a panic attack, it was so stuck and it was hot and I thought my hair would burn. Upon giving it another more careful go I found it took forever to straighten or even just smooth out my hair - it was never completely straight and it seemed like so much work for the same results I could get with a hairdryer and irons in half the time. Just another gimmicky appliance that takes up too much cupboard space. I have since passed it on to a friend.

My aunty bought this for herself and it came with another spare one for free. Watching the ad, it seemed easy to use,but when I tried it out I found that it didn't straighten the roots of my hair as I would like it to be. It left a burn mark on the side of my ears and I wasn't aware of it. The noise that it made was loud for me and quite annoying.

I would not recommend this.

I have super thick, curly hair and the Instyler did absolutely nothing except make my hair a huge, frizzy mess. I tried it several times, blowdrying and brushing my hair out first, not brushing my hair out, adding product, not adding product etc. but it all ended the same way - a head full of knots and frizz. I'm not sure how this would work on other hair types, but it's not something I would recommend.

I was so excited when I saw the informercial for this product. It looked relatively easy to use, didn't just straighten but also curled; but most importantly would work on African American hair so I thought it should definitely work on my thick wavy island hair.

I was to be disappointed.

I used it a few times to work on my technique but the end result was never the "as seen on TV result" .My hair didn't look shiny or smooth or flat in the traditional hair straightener sense.By the time I had burnt my forehead trying to get the bits I had at the top I had had enough and gave up on it.

I have this in the purple colour and although the colour looked pretty and styly, that is pretty much where the excitement ended.

I found it really hard to work with and I felt it didn't do that great a job. It seemed to pull my hair and the finish was not that great. That was trying to use the straightening technique.

As for trying to curl my hair, that was so not going to happen. I found it awkward and just couldn't seem to get it to look like the so called advertisements that raved about the product.

I didn't find it user friendly and got hot pretty quick.

Such a shame as I had such high hopes for this hair styler.

I believed the hype many moons ago and purchased the Instyler because I was curious and the models on TV made it look so easy. At the time I had shoulder length hair but quite fine and at times dry.

The Instyler did my hair no favours, in fact I think it burnt my hair - and it definitely caused a few burns to the hand from the awkward way of holding it and getting my hair into the device. Even with the protection cage I would also manage to burn my ear!

The rotating curler if it catches your hair at the wrong angle pulls and tugs, and brings back childhood memories of my mother untangling my hair before school. I don't know if it was the enthusiastic way it the cylinder rotates against the brush, or the fact that my hair was fine, but there was always hair left in the brush after use - which after a while was a real concern.

I could get something that resembled a curl from the Instyler - but was more like a kink of a wave, and I could never master straightening with it at all. It was just lots of fluffy hair. It never replaced my straighteners for straightening my hair.

I never tried the hottest heat setting, for fear for my hair and my ears, and the lowest setting was okay but still seemed quite hot. What I did notice, was the styles when I did manage something suitable for public viewing never really held for long through the day.

Needless to say I wasn't impressed and suspect it's better suited to those with longer hair and a higher pain threshold than me.....so now my Instyler sits on the top shelf of my wardrobe, wondering if it will ever see daylight again. Which it likely won't.

I brought two of these, one for my mum and one for me. It took ages to get to us (over a month) My mum has shoulder length, thin, straight hair so we were hoping she would be able to get a few looks out of it.

We were excited when they finally arrived. The packaging was nice and it felt like a nice quality but that's were it stopped. I plugged it in and I noticed it has a very small cord. Also the sound when it's turned on is very loud (my mum also agreed) For me personally the bristles were to soft and couldn't hold my hair properly. I have very thick, wavy, long hair and I was wanting some proper curls.

This product is not for me.
