I recieved one of these INstylers as a present just the other day and was very dissappointed.

I have been a long time user of GHD’s, so I had a high hope for this machine too. I was VERY wrong. I have moderately curly hair and to find a straightener that works is quite the challenge. The INstyler not only left my hair looking like I put fire to it but it tangled my hair also. After an hour, my hair would return to its natural state (curly) and touching it would make my scalp hurt.

If you are looking at getting this product, PLEASE RECONSIDER!

I got the instyler on sale in an electronics store here in Trinidad…only paid $200 TT for it which is about $15 US so i was really glad that it didnt abuse my wallet…tried it on my black hair and it took me HOURS!! (but mainly because I have sooooo much hair on my head ) anyways, I used it with a heat protectant spray and it got my hair pretty straight..for a little while. idk if it’s humidity of the caribbean air but my hair was back to normal in about 10 minutes…so Caribbean women, I would be a little careful about buying this product, but if u get it for a steal like I did, why not try and see if it works for u..

My Instyler started making popping electrical sounds and smelled vaguely of smoke less than 6 months after purchase. Instyler refused to honor my warranty claim because I purchased the unit on Amazon. I liked the product before it broke, and I would have been ok if they had kept their word and honored the warranty. You would have a better experience with a conair from Walmart. Don’t waste your money!

I have been using the in styler for about 2 months and I am noticing I am starting to loose my hair, it has broken off very short in places, while it does add volume to my thin hair type, it isn’t worth loosing my hair over.I would like ot know if anyone else is having this problem.

I just ordered my INStyler but I haven’t used it yet… I honestly think that if you’re a potential buyer, you should do the 14 day trial first. Don’t go off other people’s reviews because everyone has different hair!

I’ve wanted to buy this for a long time and I finally got it today from bed bath and beyond only because I had a coupon and if I didn’t like it I could return it with no hassle….I really like it!
I just make sure I blow dry my hair first just a quick 2 min job so it’s not wet the use the Instyler….it’s pretty much a flat iron that gives your hair body which I love…usually I use a flat iron after I blow dry but then end up with flat hair..my hair feels very soft and full with the instyle…just don’t use it on wet hair because it gets so hot and I noticed it burned a small part if my hair while it was wet that’s why I blow dried it first!

I tried the instyler and I have 3 burns and may seek legal council. Not to mention it does not do what it claims, I cannot believe they would be able to put this thing on the market!

They were using it wrong. They went way too fast.
Idiots. Find smart people to use the product correctly.

I love my Instyler I got 2 about 2 years ago and when one broke down I had the other one, I like it much more than a flat iron, I just ordered 2 more because i can’t go without one, it is my most favorite hair apparatus, bar none. It does make my hair shiny.
