Ive straightened my hair for years, and have always been annoyed that it can take up to 20 minutes to do my whole head. Thats why I was intrigued when I heard about the InStyler, a combination straightening iron and brush that spins and straightens your locks as you use it.
I used the 1¼-inch iron. It was perfect for me because my hair reaches right above my shoulders. To start, I blow-dried my wet hair. (You can use it when your hair is wet too, but I thought it would be easier to try for the first time when my hair was dry.) I also added a heat protection spray to protect my hair from the irons hot temps.
I started from the back and worked my way to the front. All I had to do was lift a section of my hair and insert it into the InStyler—it did the rest. By the time I got to the front, I was impressed by the lack of frizz and the amount of volume my hair had. (I love having volume!)
Through the process I discovered that how much volume you get depends on how slow you straighten your hair. I noticed that when I took my time with the iron, I got the the va-va-voom I adore.
The InStyler also came with a heat rag to place on my counter during use and an iron protecter so I didnt burn myself as I used it. Pretty neat, huh?
My final verdict: The InStyler is extremely easy to use—and fast. Once I become a pro, Im sure itll only take me five minutes. So if youre craving less time with your straightening iron like me, then youll really love this product.

HOW-TO: CURLS & WAVES CURL WITH CONFIDENCE
1. Detangle, section, and smooth hair before styling. 2. Hold the tool vertically. 3. Grab a 1-2″ section of hair and wrap it around the barrel. Make sure the entire section of hair is laying flat on the barrel. 4. Close WET TO DRY for 3-5 seconds. The longer you press, the more defined the curl will be. 5. For beach waves, take a smaller section, and wrap hair in alternate directions for a more undone texture. Leave 1-2’ of hair out on the ends.
8). I see smoke from my hair! Is my hair burning?
The InStyler doesn’t burn your hair. What you see is the evaporating steam from your hair. This is only a conditioner or product built up and is completely safe and normal.
