Can't live without the In styler!!!

I love the In styler. I have been using the In styler for years and can not live without it. I can do my hair (very curly and frizzy) in speed time, plus it has height and doesn't come out flat. My only complaint is that you cannot use it abroad. I've lost two even with converters. too sensitive i guess.

I'm looking for a new Instyler because the one my ex-boyfriend got for me just went out after 4 1/2 yrs. He bought it because his daughter wanted one & he got me one too. I thought it was just another curling iron. WRONG! It straightens my hair & leaves it silky smooth! My hair looks beautiful & the curls last! I love it & NEED another one. The Chi I have is just not doing the job like this does.

I bought one of these 2 years ago, even though I was reluctant to pay what I thought was a lot for just another curling iron. . . WOW, what a great find!! I have really, really thick hair that is frizzy from all the years of highlights and 3/4 of it is quite curly. My Instyler has been an absolute life saver for me!! Now I can have straight smooth hair whenever I want it - I LOVE THIS THING!!!! If it ever gives out on me I will definitely buy another one!! But this one has out lasted all the other curling & flat irons I used in the past.

I have wanted to try this product for a couple of years but was too cheap to buy it. My hair texture is moderately fine but I have a lot of it. It's naturally curly but not a pretty curl. Stylists can use a straightener to effortlessly straighten and then flip the end but I never had luck with that. My time consuming process was to straighten it then use the curling iron to give the ends a little curl. I just used the Instyler for the first time and now I can't believe I waited so long to get one. I was skeptical that it would really straighten, but it really, really does. I twisted my wrist when I got to the bottom and got a great flip. I was done in less than half the time that it used to take me to do my hair and it looks just how I like it to look, no compromise. This success was taking it right out of the box without reading any of the techniques or watching the dvd it came with. I look forward to learning some other techniques just for fun. I'm thrilled. The only thing I wish it had was a cool tip to hold onto at the top end like a curling iron does. I'm sure I'll get used to not having that. I love the little mat provided to protect the counter top.

my instyler was a gift 2 years ago. i LOVE it! it straightens my hair beautifully. i normally curl my hair with it and WOW its soo simple and my hair looks better than anyone else! i love the instyler. i am just now - after 2yrs- looking for something else just bc i need a change.
pros- everything! does the job in a flash. heat is constant. still rotates with out a problem. protective sleeves protect my coffee table or whatever im setting it down on. and my curls last all night and sometimes through the next day.
cons- it does damage more than other straighteners but im curling my hair every other day.
oh the dvd it comes with says you can use it on lightly damp hair. do not do that! be logical.

I love the Instyler and am about to purchase a second one to keep in my house back home in Europe. Being an Expat, I travel frequently. I tested it during the summer and it worked well with a converter (an affordable one that I got from DR).

This product actually worked ok on my hair, the results were not extremely effective but I guess moderate, however, between 3-6months of using it the instyler broke apart. The cap of the cone fell off and later on the whole part felt apart. I was very dissappointed on the product, and unfortunately I was unable to get a refund since I lost the receipt (my fault). People please don't buy this product, spend $100 on something else!!!

I brought the instyler about five years ago and I am still using it, it is by far the best hot iron invented, because it curls and gives the hair shine at the same time. With three kids it does the job in half the time than blow drying. I have wavy hair and it works great.

This product has burn my fingers one too many times. In my opinion is difficult to use and hazardous to my fingers. Too many people are getting rid of them and selling them used. Stay away from this product!

I put off buying this product due to the mixed reviews and the price. I finally decided to get it with a 20% discount coupon and $10 mail-in rebate at Bed Bath & Beyond, where I could return it if it didn't work. I must say that I am very impressed! My hair is fine and lacks body. I've only used it a few times but it actually gives my hair body that actually lasts from one day to the other! I find that it works best if my hair is dry, not damp. You just need to follow the instructions!

I had seen the InStyler on T.V. for awhile and thought that anything that looked that good had to be too good to be true. I finally decided after reading the reviews to give it a try. I have very curly coarse hair (once I had my friends use two straight irons on it and it took the three of them to straighten my hair an hour.) Using the InStyler I can straighten my hair in less than ten minutes. I love how shiny and smooth my hair is. I haven't expeirienced any of the problems that some of the other reviewers had. The rotating barrel's motor does make some noise (but not nearly so much as the average blow drier). It does get very hot so be careful. Overall I would buy this again in a heartbeat and am wondering why I waited so long to buy it. This time it would seem that it really is as good as advertised

I had only used the In Styler about a dozen times; just enough to get the hang of it, and I actually liked it. Then one day using it, i put it down on the counter and it sparked and popped......it was dead! Very disappointed!

I purchased this on friday. I had a friend to suggest this. I hesitated because I have never been able to use a curling iron or do much to style my hair.. I color my hair- it is long, coarse texture, curly and frizzy and very easy to damage. I wanted the Instyler but was afraid to use it. Why did I wait so long!!!! Donot do like I did ---just get in !!!!!! It works!!!!!

I've been using In Styler for the last 2 month almost daily . Is amazing ,I love it !!! I don't have time ( OK , I don't have patience ) to blow dry my long hair and I tried all kinds of products for frizzy hair , nothing worked . I decided to give it a try not really expecting too much ... Is working , I use it at the lowest setting , it doesn't burn my hair ( my hair looks just perfect after 2 months ) and is straight and very shiny . I live in a place with very high humidity ( Atlanta ) and this thing does a great job . I spent just 80 bucks on it, I went to the store and used a 20% off coupon ! I am more that happy with this product !!!

I have known about this styling tool for several years, but never bought it due to the mixed reviews. However, being frustrated with using multiple (professional grade) tools and my hair being shorter and a little harder to style, I went ahead and purchased the Instyler. BB&B is one of the better places to purchase due to their easy returns process and the 20% off coupon. Most retailers will not accept it back used or require pre auth to return. The same retailers charge more as well, the price varies from a few dollars to the manufactures price. This item works more like a straightener and polisher, however I used products prior. It does not work that great on short hair and was somewhat difficult to use. Although if my stylist were finishing my hair with this tool, my recommendation would be better. Since that can't be all the time, I will continue using my other tools, which serve the same functions and turn out to give somewhat better results. I returned the Instyler the next day.

When I was looking at this online, I thought "This is so cool! It straightens and curls! Why doesn't everybody buy these?" Now I know why. I got it home and I straightened it and I loved it. I continued using it, and I noticed other people who straightened their hair with a regular straightener and I realized that my hair never really was straight. The curls also look really bad. I bought a different curler, and the results were a MILLION times better!! This thing is not all that great like some reviews say. I don't even use it anymore because it makes my hair look horrible now. Save your money and get a straightener and curler because this is not worth $100!!

My husband bought this for me for Christmas the best thing I have ever gotten for my hair. I have thin hair and love the way I get volume,and shine. The ones who are giving this a low rate seriously don't know how to use it. You are getting burned because you don't know how to use a curling Iron/ flat Iron it has a temperature control use it. I have been telling every one about this. It does it all everything it says it does, Iam so excited about this Instyler I just hope that it keeps up what its doing and I can own it for a long time.

I am a stylist and purchased this after several youtude videos that said it was GREAT but to my surprise it was TERRIBLE..I used it right there really isn't much to it nd its time consuming..could be used to add slight volume in straight hair but a round brush is cheaper..and does a better job
