ETA: I’ve been getting lots of hits because of THIS DEAL on groupon today. Brilliant deal as the InStyler is still £99.99 in the shops!

I love my straighters. I take them EVERWHERE with me, trust me, I may have pretty straight hair naturally but without my straighters it is like a bird has nested on my head. So I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the new rotating hot iron – the InStyler mainly so I could give curling my hair a go!

I’ll start with the curls; I have always wanted curly hair. When I was a teenager I even tried a perm, which made my hair look like a pot noodle for an hour and promptly fell out leaving my hair once again poker straight. However, as my I’ve gotten older and my hair has decided that it doesn’t want to throw teenage strops any more I’ve been able to hold a curl for a few hours at least. Now, I have no hand eye co-ordination so trying to curl my hair using my GHD’s is a nightmare, actually scrap that, it’s a non-starter. Using the InStyler made curling my hair pretty easy, I just went for a lose wave look (no one wants to look like a poodle anymore do they) and found that even I managed to do it. I think because it’s pretty chunky it’s easier to manage when you’re wrapping your hair around, of course the rotating element also helps enormously.

The other thing I’m impressed with is the heat settings. My GHD’s have one setting – which is hot, the InStyler has 3 settings meaning for every day styling you can place it on a low setting and save your locks some serious heat damage.

“Here’s how it works: when you run the InStyler® rotating hot iron through your hair, the first set of bristles gently sort and separate your hair strands. Then the rotating heated polishing cylinder gently glides over your hair, smoothly polishing, straightening, and styling each strand. Finally, the second set of bristles puts the finishing touch on your hair, leaving you with shiny, silky, hair! It’s truly amazing!”on your hair, leaving you with shiny, silky, hair! It’s truly amazing!”

I’m not sure how well it will do when travelling as it is a bit chunkier than regular straighners but its great for styling your hair at home and perfect for reducing the amount of products you have to have. I really recommend this product!

The InStyler is priced at £99.99 and is available from Boots.com
or the InStyler website.
