Product Description
You can deal with shampoos and conditioners. Professional hair styling can be expensive. You've got the insight but you don't have the proper styling tools. You really don't need tools. You just need the InStyler

 Love it! July 10, 2009

I have had this styler for about 6 months and I love it. I was skeptical at first, to say the least, but it has turned out to be my can't-live-without iron. I can style my shoulder length hair in 10 minutes, or less if I'm rushed, instead of 20 minutes with my other irons. I read through many web reviews before I bought it. Here are a few things that bothered people and my take on them:
*It is loud - Since it has a motor, it is not silent like the infomercials imply. Although it is a bit noisy, it is not loud enough to bother me.
*It burns - It does get HOT, even on the lowest setting and, yes, if you touch it you will get burned like with any other hair iron. You will probably get scorched a time or two or three..., as I did, especially when getting used to it. Be careful!
*It only rotates in one direction - This is true and it takes time to get used to. I have learned to use both my left and right hands to straighten my hair in the direction of the rotation. I slowed down a segment in the infomercial and one model smoothed her hair against the rotation. It turned out great, so I guess it's okay but I haven't tried it myself.
*It doesn't work on very short hair - This styler works wonders on my medium length hair but I cannot use it on my 2 inch long bangs. It makes them stick out weird. Based on that, I don't think those with very short hair would benefit from it unless they come out with a smaller barrel.
*Hair gets stuck in the barrel - This has never happened to me and I use it almost every day.
*Hair gets damaged - Most hot tools will cause some type of damage to hair. Although my hair does seem a little drier because I use the styler so often, my hairstylist says it is still healthy. I use conditioner and thermal spray to minimize damage.
While not perfect, this is the best styler I've ever used, hence the 5 stars. I am even getting one for my sister.
Best straightener I've ever had July 18, 2009

I have extremely thick, course hair with a bit of a natural wave and a tendency to go a little crazy when it gets humid (which is always since I live in the Ohio River Valley). I've had many straighteners before, but the only time I've ever gotten the results I wanted was when I splurged and went to an exorbitantly expensive and exclusive salon and had the stylist spend over an hour hard at work with a professional, super-hot straightening iron. I never wanted to wash my hair again after that trip to the salon because I knew it would never look that good again...until I ordered my InStyler. Now I have that hair ever time I use it. I'm really pleased with the product. It does exactly what the infomercial promised.
Beware of FAKES I got a fake one and a real one to compare July 22, 2009

I bought a fake Instyler on Ebay (unknowingly) and it sucked! Did not work correctly, made my hair a frizzy mess. Then I found a reputable seller on Ebay as well and bought a real one for $80 (offbetti is the seller's name) and IT IS AMAZING!!!!
I have frizzy damaged fine hair and on the lowest setting it took me 5 minutes to do my entire head with a result that looked as good as a salon blowout. I suck at blowdrying and straightening irons make my hair to fake-flat. But the Instyler polished it and gave me an amazing shiny flip on the ends. I just can't get over how great it works -- just like the infomercial.
Once again BEWARE OF FAKES!! ON THIS SITE AND ON EBAY
Works great and straightens my hair November 20, 2009

I bought this device at the local BJ's and have fallen in love with it. I've got shoulder length hair that's frizzy and which is medium heavy in density. Well, normally I look like I have a lions mane of hair that's a nightmare and I end up with it in a ponytail. For the past two days, I've managed to flatten and somewhat curl my hair. I go carefully but I've found within 10 to 15 minutes my hair is nice and smooth.
The moving roller seems to work well and I've had no faulty issues with it. I'm quite happy actually as I normally hate curling irons and usually avoid doing anything to my hair. Normally, I wash it and let it dry for the next day. I never know if I'll wake up looking great or awful. :) Now, I always have a way to make it look good. The best part is, I've been able to get away from styling it daily. :)
I would definitely buy this again.
I must say though - don't buy this device if you have really short hair. It's not designed for super short hair. Also, Sally's Beauty supply sells a glove to protect your hand so you can wrap hair around the iron without burning yourself.

Instyler rotating hot iron hair straightener November 9, 2009

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this machine. It is so much more than a straightener. It gets every single bit of frizz out, but also adds curl and body. It is real easy to use too. I am a little bit worried about burning myself though. There isn't anywhere on the end to hold. Takes some getting used to holding it differently than other irons.
