Overview of Instyler Rotating Hot Iron

Many women struggle to style their hair with traditional and conventional styling products. Straightening hair with a blow dryer and a large round brush feels like you need at least three hands to get the job done, while straightening with a hot flat iron can take forever. The InStyler is a rotating hot iron that claims that it can straighten and curl with ease, and certainly without the need for an extra hand. Although this styling product has a large amount of appeal, many woman are still wondering whether or not it delivers.

The InStyler combines two very necessary styling tools, a brush and a heated cylinder, into a single handheld product. Like other styling tools, it has several heat settings - three to be exact - but what really sets it apart from other products is that the heated cylinder actually rotates, which makes styling easier and faster. However, with a price that ranges from $90 to $140, depending upon where it is purchased, women are recommended to try the InStyler before they commit to the purchase.

To use the InStyler, all you need to do is plug it in and wait a minute for it to heat up. Once it’s heated, you use it in the same manner as a regular curling iron or flat iron. Unlike those products, though, the InStyler uses the bristles on its built-in brush to separate the strands of your hair so that they are easier for the heated cylinder to straighten or curl. As the cylinder passes along your hair, a second set of bristles brushes over your hair and smoothes it out, which can help you create a more polished look with shiny, rather than dull, hair.

For women who are tired of frying their hair with excessive blow drying and straightening, the InStyler may be the solution. It uses less heat than a flat iron and, since it can straighten and curl fairly quickly, it also means that less heat is applied to your hair overall. This can lead to healthier and bouncier hair that feels smooth, rather than dried out.

The InStyler is also capable of creating different types of hair styles for all kinds of hair types, including fine and coarse hair. It can create large, luscious curls as well as straight hair that still has volume. A common complaint that many people have when using traditional flat irons is that they leave their hair looking lifeless and stick straight. The InStyler, when used properly, can help you create a straightened look with some bounce to it because it uses a rotating cylinder to straighten the hair, rather than two heated flat irons.

Although the InStyler works well for different types of hair, it is not suitable for all hair lengths. Women who have medium length hair, which is slightly above or below the shoulders, as well as women with long hair will benefit most from using this styling product. Very short hair, even if it is a few inches long, will be difficult to style properly due to the thickness of the heated cylinder. Trying to style bangs or short hair with the InStyler will most likely result in odd crimps within the hair or hair that sticks out in all the wrong places.

If you are stuck for styling ideas or if you have trouble using the InStyler, there are a number of instructional videos and tutorials that you can refer to for help. However, since the design of this product is fairly different from other hair styling products on the market, it will take some getting used to. For example, the cylinder only rotates in one direction, so you may need to learn to straighten and curl using both your left and right hands. On the other hand, it is possible to style against the rotation, but this also will take some getting used to, so be sure to practice using this at home before you use it to style your hair for a big night out or a special event.

Even though the InStyler uses less heat than many flat irons and traditional curling irons, it still gets very hot, even on the lowest setting. In order to protect your hair, you should still use a compatible thermal protectant or a thermal spray that doesn’t stick to the heated cylinder. You should also take great care not to burn your hands when using the InStyler. Touching the heated cylinder, as with other heated styling products, can burn your skin.

Some women have said that they have gotten their hair stuck between the rotating barrel and the bristles of the InStyler. However, this is completely avoidable when the product is used properly. The trick is to not straighten or curl incredibly large sections of your hair at once or too quickly. Instead, gather sections that are between two and three inches, and slowly glide the InStyler across your hair without holding the InStyler at an angle. Moving slowly at a low heat setting is recommended for beginners who are learning to use the InStyler. This should result in smooth hair with no snags.

Overall, the InStyler is a great product for styling fine and course hair as well as medium length and long hair. It does take some time to get used to using the InStyler and it’s not cool enough to warrant throwing out your thermal sprays, but with practice, you can definitely get your styling sessions down to 10 minutes and minimize the damage to your hair at the same time.
