**RAVE Review** ~ InStyler Rotating Iron

[@Kazzzyable]

i've been using this exclusively for years. i even have a back up. i have also invested in several high end straighteners, curling irons, curling clipless wands, etc etc etc and this is the one!

[@kathydobrzynski6119]

I got mine when it first came out. Took me a bit to learn it but I love it! I have frizzy hair and this calms it down and give me lift.

[@monicabroniecki7624]

I have frizzy hair too, but at 55 years old have been fortunate enough not to have needed to colour yet. I have tried so many products to control the frizz that haven't really worked, so I gave up. I tried your methods just using a hair dryer today, with much better success. Thinking of transitioning to the Instyler. A lot more optimistic about conquering the frizz now. Thank you Angela!!!

[@Melissa55]

Angie, it truly is the little things that can make our day brighter. I felt your excitement when your hair was doing what you wanted and I knew that feeling. I loved what this did for your hair. It looked beautiful. I know what my next purchase is going to be!!! Thanks for a great review. Love, Melissa

[@tvmom]

I am 53 and have the exact same hair as you. I understand your giddy happiness at normal looking front pieces.

[@trumpeterswan4177]

I have had one of these stylers for about 2 years and today is the day I will try using it. So excited as my hair is much like yours in texture.

[@FourJaysFour]

I love how genuine you are in your videos, showing us what's real.

[@TeriGigi]

I've had my InStyler for years. It's always in my rotation. I did a positive review on it years ago on my blog, and I still love it :) It's great for travel because for me, it takes the place of hot rollers, flat iron, and curling iron. My mom's broke after she dropped it and she bought another one the next day!

[@dianacockerill9479]

You have re-inspired me to give my Instyler another go. I'm 52, thin hair and at a loss at what to do with it. Thank you. I'll keep trying

[@jenniferk5249]

I love the way you do your videos! You get right to the point and you're not making a whole lot of gibberish and nonsense! Great job!

[@noreen4040]

I love watching you get excited! I have an in styler too, I have naturally curly/wavy and frizzy hair. I don't even blow dry anymore, just wash at night and air dry and in the morning use this, its so nice!!! You do have to make sure the barrel is moving down the hair and not up the hair, there is a learning curve but once you know how to hold it on each side, it goes fast!!!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Noreen Leonard Yes, I thought it was weird that it was turning the wrong way… have to figure that out!

[@lsaz8524]

I've used this for many yrs. I have both wet to dry and dry hair..Its by far my favorite tool it takes out the frizz without leaving my hair flat..I find it works best when the barrel spins down with the hair shaft and not against it...

[@SEHSEH33]

I've had this Instyler for years, I now have the newer one. Great to travel with, let your hair air dry or use the hotels dryer. You have only one tool to travel with that makes your hair amazing! Love mine.

[@adeletome9812]

Hi Angie! Make sure you always use the heat spray, as this tool severely damaged my hair over time. Also, weekly oil treatments AND deep conditioning is also very helpful. Not only to protect, but to replace shine and moisture we lose over time, so we don't get the dreaded "old lady" thin and frizzy look. Enjoy your new toy!

[@amandakeith5334]

Awesome. I have been on the fence about investing almost $100 on a hair tool, but your excitement has convinced me. Thank you for your real time, honest review!

[@cookieran3753]

I have this for almost 7 years and it is really works for curling or straight. It gives great lift at the roots. Enjoy!

[@rxstrmom]

I purchased mine when they were first introduced years ago...I love it. Try using the barrel facing down (underneath) and hold it for just a couple of seconds right at the root...the more you use it the easier it will be and before long you won't have to do all the sectioning....you'll figure it out ! xo patti

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

***** Thanks for the tips, Patti!! How has this been out for so long and I'm just finding it now?!?!?

[@dsmith6601]

***** I have had it for at least two years, I believe.

[@bostonpatty6425]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I bought the Instyler based on your review and it's a game changer! I first purchased the John Frieda brush based on your prior review. I like it, but there is no comparison. I then bought the Instyler. I do not have the skill or the patience to blow dry my hair. I've only used the Instyler a couple of times, and my hair looks like "salon" hair. It is so easy. And, it doesn't take long. I didn't watch the accompanying video - I just watched you. It does take a little practice to figure out the reverse image in the mirror. I haven't tried the curling part yet, but I will. BTW, my hair is just like your hair. I can't wait to try this in FL. Thanks again. PS. I use the Aveda smoothing cream that Marnie recommended - a gorgeous finish!

[@vanessacevallos5803]

I have the newest model of the instyler which I ordered online: it comes with 2 of them. My order came with a large one and a small one for tighter curls. It's absolutely AMAZING!!! I love it so much! Best hot styling tool I've ever purchased! Celebrity stylists use it all the time. I'm so glad you're enjoying it! I giggled every time you saw your hair in the mirror...looked like an excited little girl opening up a new present. Lol 😉 This was a great first impressions video! 👍😊

[@jillfoley24]

truly adorable!!! Love your reaction!!! I am not sure I could operate this item, I was so scared it was going to get your hair all twisted up in the rolling mechanism. You have more skill than I do. It truly did wonders for your hair. I might give it a try, at least I could return it , if needed. Great video!!!! xo

[@BonMar1226]

ok..that's it, I'm getting an instyler today! My good friend has one and loves it but she has thick hair. She will never know the torture of being a teenager in the big haired 80's with thin hair that EVERY SINGLE curling iron made THE CRIMP. I was smiling like a fool so HAPPY for you when you got the swoop :) I totally understand the excitement. And those curls? No crimps? I'm on my way to Ulta!!! Thank you so much!!!! I'm so excited that hope exists.

[@victoriasmith1657]

Your excitement is palpable. I'm feeling it, too. Having baby fine textured hair..this may be a good option for me, too. For a while I have eye-balled this tool. Being a bit stingy...I mean, frugal, I've had a long, hard look. Just maybe. Thanks, Angie. You give great reviews.

[@Imar5d]

I've had mine for over a year and I love it!

[@tania0874]

I recently bought the INstyler, and it is amazing. Angie I enjoy so much your reaction when you finally got your hair to flip out, it was hilarious!

[@BBMc107]

You remind me of me. I have never been a girly girl, but at 53, I am giving it a go and I act like a tweenager when it works. Thanks for the honest review. I am ordering one right now to try. I also have the john freida dryer, but it isn't always convenient to dry my semi dry hair or rewet it in order to roll it dry. Plus, I love that you got 2, 3, 4?) different effects.

[@ro5055]

I've been looking at this for a year or more and your review convinced me to go ahead with the purchase. I'm so happy I bought it! This is wonderful.

[@estherhealy3413]

! ?I

[@Jholli25]

I've had mine for a year. I kept going back and forth on it and finally buckled down and watched several videos. There is a lot you can do with this tool and I thoroughly I love it now. The barrel on top works way better for my thick but fine hair and smooths it much better. I just saw how to create volume at the crown and it was awesome. I make curls just by bending my wrist instead of the corkscrew curls but it's nice to have options.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

Jholli25 There was so much info. in the video that came with it… really helpful!

[@debbie5992]

I went out and bought me one after watching this video I'm 57 and got very excited about the way it worked for me love it thank you so much!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

+Debbie 59 You're welcome, and so glad you love it too!!

[@pjhansen9060]

I am not patient enough and using a hot iron is faster for me. I also have fine hair but it is thick. I would imagine the barrel direction matters, against the grain issue and all for better smoothness. Congrats on the curl though, looks good! Loved how excited you were!

[@xxlivsthegurl4uxx102]

All this time I’ve been using the instyler rotating iron for straightening my hair until I realised I could curl it and thanks to this video I now love it and I will be sure to use it for curling more often ❤️

[@taratadema212]

Nice review, Angie! Just when I told myself I was going to stop buying beauty products for a while, now I want one of these! :)

[@sfberryful]

I have been looking at the InStyler so I was thrilled to see that you had posted on it. So getting it now!! Thanks for the review.

[@kslocum]

The InStyler changed my life! Also love my Infiniti Pro Spin brush. Two great tools. Now I only have to get one keratin treatment in the summer.

[@Kri_stee_na]

"What are my options with this?" You had me cracking up! My hair is EXACTLY the same if I let it air dry... all crimped and frizzy! This tool seems handy and the final look was gorgeous. Thank you so much for sharing, your videos are always so informative! Best, Christina

[@susannereiser9428]

I loved my Instyler for the first few weeks but then noticed that like all hot tools, it was really frying my hair if I wanted it to get the best results. Sadly I had to switch back to hot rollers. I have fine hair. Buy this from a store with a good return policy and really give it a run. I think people with really tough hair would love this in the long haul. I feel your excitement....please do a follow up in month or two. Love your videos Angie.

[@lanaellis2402]

That was so cute, when you got so excited. I love when you invest in a product and your truly tickled with the results. Thanks Angie!

[@kayekog]

Thanks for doing this demo. I just started (this week) using a non-rotating one like this every day and it's really damaging my hair. Afraid this one would damage more. I've always styled my hair with a round brush while drying, minimal product. In other words, practically nothing but "things are changing" and I'm feeling a need to put forth more effort on my appearance. I appreciate all the work you do in your videos.

[@estherhealy3413]

houses ,

[@rdml1125]

Thank you for reviewing this Angie! I've been wondering about this styling tool for several years, but couldn't convince myself to spend the money to purchase it. I have thick, wavy, coarse hair. This looks like the solution to all my hair issues. Thnx.

[@debbierushing7850]

THANK YOU THANK YOU oh and did I say THANK YOU! This is awesome, I'm 61 and had never even seen this before. Always used my straightener or curling iron but I do believe they will be put away for awhile. Lots of volume that I could never get with the other styles. You are the bomb.

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

I'm still using and loving this tool! Hope you love it too!!

[@JulesOfWisdom]

Nice demonstration. I also have fine, color treated, frizzy hair so it was nice to see it work on like hair. I also happy to see that it has a heat guard since burning myself was a concern of mine when I saw this advertised on HSN. I don't remember seeing the guard on HSN.

[@sherryg1838]

Your excitement is contagious! Your hair looks really nice. I have fine, stick straight hair, and so does my daughter. This looks like something that might work for us. Thanks for the video.

[@janieishme]

I've been wanting to learn how to make side bangs swoop like that for YEARS! Buying it now because of your review.

[@jodiwatt743]

Wonderful demo and love your excitement. It's so unexpected to find a tool or mu that makes your day and when it happens it's the greatest. Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday. Love you, Jodi

[@OmShanti4ever]

Thank you!..i also watched your other tutorial using the InStyler...and I am sold! will be buying one as soon as I get back to Australia. I love your honesty and your enthusiasm. I have been watching your tutorials for a couple of months and I have found them so helpful. thank you so much again for sharing :-)

[@Ilovechicpeas]

I feel your joy. I have this and it's the only thing that gives me curls I like AND most importantly, it's easy. It does get hot though so I don't use it often. X

[@cheri2356]

Love love love my instyler. It helps to have smaller sections and to make sure barrel is on the bottom. I have just learned how to curl using this tool. You can aslo get great volume when you have it at the root, push it forward a little bit so it tugs on opposite hair growth and it is awesome. By the way, I also was sooo excited when my bangs curled back too-like way too excited!

[@lanag3182]

So glad you found something that work for curls! I just love to have a curly hair days and would be lost without them! Great review .Thanks bunches. Have wonderfully day!

[@christinawhite9256]

Angie, I am happy for you that you enjoy the InStyler!!! :) I have burned myself too many times, but when I did not burn myself, it worked. Barely touching skin makes for a long time to heal. Wish there was easy fitting protective glove that did not feel odd, because then I would try it again.

[@rachelhammond4388]

Thanks for that, I have been contemplating buying one for a year now, but reluctant as I got sick of buying things that don't work for me. I really enjoy your vids.

[@BayouDreamz]

Such a cute video, Angie! Have had one of these in my closet, unopened, for a couple of years now. My hair is also fine, but profuse, and even more wavy/curly. It was a gift from my SIL who thought it would help me with straightening, but I ended up cutting my hair short before ever using it. LOL Loved this one, as we can all relate to finally finding *something* that works as-advertised!!

[@lin1038]

I am curling iron challenged...so I'm a hot roller gal, but am always looking for something to travel with. Loved your excitement...think I will give this a try! Thanks for posting this Angie...great review!

[@msflipflops]

I bought this when it first came out and love it. I got so excited for you as I know you have been looking for the perfect thing. Your hair looks great!! xo Carolyn

[@tharrison0043]

HA,you got so excited,i love it.I have long hair,and it's a pain to blow dry,this would perfect for me.Thank you for the tutorial.

[@CherylBerryl]

Hey, Angie. I can totally relate to feeling un-coordinated while doing my hair! I feel like I'm good w/ makeup, but "all things hair" just set me off in a tizzy! I think I might give this guy a shot! I have hair pretty much like yours, & so now I hold some hope that I'll be able to do this too! Although, Inam a little worried about burning myself! Each time you were using your fingers to wrap the hair around the barrel, I was cringing! & saying to myself..."Oh Angie! don't burn yourself!" I'm glad you didn't! & pray I don't either!

[@bellarosa009]

Great video! My hair is very similar to yours in texture. I can't wait to try this. Thanks so much for posting this video.

[@carollove8752]

i have this and i love it! your excitement is so infectious! lol i think your hair isn't as thin as you think and you could use the iron hotter. also try to spray the heat protectant at once all over your hair and allow it to set in. looks like you could use a deep conditioner and a hair trim as well! have fun and enjoy Angie! lol

[@kathyprice1674]

You crack me up how excited you get with the curl, that would be me because I have used a curling iron or any tool like that in probably 30 years and my daughter was curling my hair. when I did it on my own she said you have 70's hair. I said no, mine didn't look this good back then. LOL! I want to curl my hair because it actually looks great the next day when I do. But, I need a lot of practice with it. My hair is like yours, I have a lot, but its fine and I have natural frizzy, curly hair. Ringlet curly, Ugggg! people think that's sounds great, but not when its on your own head and it frizzes and curls funking in the humidity. Thanks for the review, I may think about getting this long as I can use my coupon at Ulta for it. Thanks again Angie, love your videos.

[@nictims7]

Angie what a difference!!!!! Not gonna knock the john frieda tool off the shelf though..must say your hair looks beautiful with that as well...but the instyler gave you that flawless finish! I bet you are hyped about it!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

nicholas timberlake You're right! I'll still use the JF hot brush on wet hair days, and the InStyler on 2nd day hair or when I want a special curly 'do that'll last and not frizz!! So happy to have two great tools!!

[@toybiz1]

I asked for a hair tutorial on your last video and poof there it is! 👍 Thank you so much! My hair is fine also but have a lot of it and this device looks like a winner!

[@rachaelpeek9908]

Your expressions made it worth watching twice! Loved the video. Now I need to use my moms!

[@Yayidiaz27]

I have the In Style and it really works. You just have to practice a lot and you can curl all your hair an is faster then a curly iron.

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

I have this product, and love it 3 seasons of the year. I bought this over a year ago, and of course it was more expensive. In my instuctions, it did not mention holding 10 seconds, but that makes perfect sense. Also, I now use largerr sections of hair. It looks as good, and it takes less time. I ove yor videos, and always look forward to seeing a new one posted. Enjoy the day..............MaryEllen

[@evean]

I love watching your videos, they are always very informative. I love the fact that you are very thorough with your reviews. But I have to say that this has been one of the most funny and enjoyable of your videos to watch. Your excitement for the first curl was priceless. I had never been interested in the InStyler but after your review I just might give it a try. I too have never been able to get my bangs to flip back no matter what i try but thanks to your review I think I just found the perfect product for that.

[@tsholt01]

I have had one of those for years - got caught with the infomercial! But I have loved it and always use it for 2nd day hair - mine will have that slight frizz too if I don't blow dry around a brush or if I have slept on it. I have never tried the curl way but after your demo I'm going to give it a shot.

[@kaladwarakanath5503]

Thanks for your reply, HotandFlasy. You did address all my questions. What I have is not the wet-to-dry kind.

[@JVSak]

Thanks for this, Angie! I've been on the fence on the InStyler- but this definitely took away any doubt. I was just not sure I wanted to spend $90 on another heating tool that will just sit in my closet. So awesome how well it works!!!

[@kinzmaven]

Well this was great! I bought the Calista Tools "Perfecter" hair curler/heated brush. It has the no-burn-ever exterior, so less worry that way. But ~ after a few uses the teeth started to go missing, and the tool inevitably gets clogged with hair and there is no effective way to clear them out! Also, over time I find the tool less and less able to produce quality results! So imagine my chagrin when I saw this implement prominently displayed in my local drug store! It's the same price range as the one I bought from TV, and it is a more established name in the industry. So, I guess I need to bite the bullet and cough up another $100 to buy this one, too! I also have longish, fine and hard to curl hair, so I feel optimistic now that I too should be able to get my hair to "look normal!" Many thanks!

[@dbutterscottish]

I've had mine for a few years and I still love it and use it regularly

[@Hunnie_B]

Love this review Angie.....those loose curls are gorgeous !! I have very short hair, so this won't work for me, but love how it works for gals with long hair.

[@borntonosh]

Hey Angie, I use my John Freida on second day hair to smooth and straighten it out. It works just as well on dry hair as wet!

[@seus2731]

I'm not sure if this product would work for me as I have lots, lots, LOTS of hair and very very long too but your review is the best one I've seen so far.

[@dianawoods7837]

Loved seeing your happy surprise! Great video, as usual!

[@keoshia01]

I love this video, not for the instyler, but for you making my day

[@lifeisgoodat55]

Your excitement is priceless.....LOL Love this video.

[@MsRolex999]

I use mine all the time and LOVE IT!

[@lisapruitt3000]

I am so addicted to your videos! Love your personality and all the very practical help and advice that I soooo need! I never knew anyone had my exact same hair! Misery loves company lol.

[@2moneyhoney]

Loved your vid!! Thank you for such a clear demonstration ! Just received this from my daughter for Christmas! ! I used it quickly this a.m. I think this is going to be the product I have needed for my limpish hair!!! 👍 Looking forward to checking out your other videos as well!

[@kimstaggenborg3928]

You crack me up. I have one of these and it works ok on straightening but not so much for curling. It also gets way too hot. I bought it hoping it would add some volume in the top of my hair but not a lot of luck. I am hair challenged also.

[@Kristinn321]

I think I bought this a year or so ago and could not get it to work for me. You make me want to give it another try! You made it look so easy! xoxo

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

MsKristinn321 Hey Kristinn, did you watch the video that came with it? All the tricks to make it work are in there… definitely need small sections, heat spray, rotate wrist and go slow, but you don't need it… your hair always looks great! xo

[@Kristinn321]

Aw Angie, you are so sweet! I didn't watch the video, I'm impatient like that, and I don't think I tried it more than a couple of times before I gave up. If it works, I think it would be a great tool to have on those occasions I want curls. xoxo

[@madams.5976]

Angie, if you're going to use that new contraption as a curling wand, you may want to buy one of those heat protective gloves so you don't burn your fingers. Love the beachy curl look.

[@annettejohnson4348]

this was like watching a kid at Christmas!!! I loved it!!! THank you Angie, you made my day!!!

[@debrarozich2456]

This video is so cute...you were so excited with the end results. My hair texture is exactly like yours....I must try the InStyler. TY xo, Cowgirl Deb

[@NEChristo]

Your reaction to this is priceless!! You and I have almost the exact same hair texture, I fight frizz all the time. This thing looks pretty nice! Lately I've just been letting it air dry with Sally Hershbergers Wavy Style Primer scrunched in..it's such a nice break to not have to heat style it but I do prefer my hair straighter like you do I would love to see you style it with your natural texture sometime though..I think I am going to do a tutorial in a couple weeks on how I style it with very little to no frizz and using no heat :) xo! Btw, still use my John Freida Styler and love it!

[@AngieHotandFlashy]

FibroFancyNancy Hi Nancy~ One of my first videos was on how I style for texture with very little heat… here's the link if you're interested: How To Make Beachy Waves in 10 Minutes ~ Easy!

[@YagwitOG]

I have the same hair.... Walgreen wash n curl is my fave stuff....I mix it will water in a spray bottle then curl or straighten :) Holds much longer

[@brenyp2545]

It was too cute seeing you get so excited over the flip! haha. I think I'll get one of these today to give it a try. Thanks for the review. :)

[@newine62]

You are sooo cute , your reactions were a thrill to watch, I'm 53 & my reaction was like yours I couldn't believe it . I finally found something that really worked , when I bought it I couldn't even sleep I wanted to stay up all nite doing different styles . Thanks for sharing I really did enjoy your video & YES I did subscribe yo your channel Yayyyyy

[@twominutetips]

Thanks for your review and all the joy you showed "look a curl popped out".

[@MsMimo61]

Awesome! I love that you are so excited :-) I have short hair and growing it out and am looking forward to getting one. Great review.

[@zenaiko33]

I love how excited you get :D I just purchased it and I'm watching your videos to help me figure out how to use it, thanks! :)

[@Emm.Emm.]

lol @ "I'm very picky and I don't like much" your hair looks so good, and I was so excited to see you so excited lol! yay!

[@judyanger1161]

I have the same hair issues that you do and may have to try this out since I am "hair challenged" also. Thanks for the review Angie!

[@Ultimatecruegirl]

It was fun watching this video just to see how excited you were about your hair. Great review TFS!

[@LGCblessed]

Hello Angie : ) Glad watching you again and it s great that your hair looks a lot like mine before styling it :D I got the wet to dry version and I really like it. It is probably not way better than the dry one because if you place it too close to your scalp you will burn it ha ha... it takes a while to master using the device and yes always reading or watching the instructions is key! : ) I need more than one pass no doubt. So anyway love this video. Thank you for sharing : )

[@dsmith6601]

Oh, Angie...that thing fried my hair! Now I let my hair dry naturallly, then use these awesome inexpensive flocked ionic rollers on my hair for two minutes and have great results!

[@cnunesoregon]

You are so cute. I love how excited you got using it. Wish I could get that excited about my hair.

[@juliesmith8153]

I have the same type of hair and I got the John .frieda dryer you recommended. You did a great demo of this!

[@doowopshopgal]

The barrel has to be turning away from your scalp when you curl your hair not the opposite way. The hair should curl around the barrel not around the brush part. That part is very confusing and that's why I don't use it that much. It's the rotation of the barrel that confuses me when I use my left hand as well

[@sweeetbea1]

I love your reaction when you got the great flip!

[@marystewart1942]

Loved how happy it made you. Please keep us updated :))

[@LauraRaeBeauty]

Thank you so much Angie for this great review. I have always wanted to buy one of these but did not think it would work on my fine hair. Now I definitely need to get one. xxoo Laura
