Instyler

I was reading a magazine the other day and saw this article raving about the instyler and claiming that a lot of celebrities are using it.

After reading the article I'd remember that I got one last year and I left it in my gadget graveyard, err... I mean my storage box, and after some digging, here you go.

If you don't kwow what an instyler is watch this video that I found on youtube:

 

When I've first seen this video I  was amazed by the instyler, and got one straight away, but I don't remember why it went into the gadget graveyard, because I remember liking it.

 

After using it again today, I've finally remembered why it went to the graveyard, it took me nearly 20 minutes to straighten my hair, and I don't have that kind of time to do it every morning, I can easily straighten my hair with my vidal sassoon straightener in less than 5 minutes.

 

The final results between the instyler and a traditional straightening iron is very different, the traditional iron will give me pin straight hair while the instyler will give a more natural straight hair look, not pin straigh but still straight.

 

Apart from not having the time to use the instyler everyday, I've noticed that instyler drys out my hair more than a traditional straightening iron.

My Opinion:

I curl my hair nearly everyday, and since my hair is really dry and damaged, I'm very fuzzy about my curling iron.

 

I'm really sad to inform you all that so far I haven't found "the perfect curling iron", but in my searching progress I have accumulated a few, so I might as well start reviewing them.

 

I had this Babyliss curling iron for about 4 months and I though that this would be the one, it heats up really fast, it gives me the most beautiful VS style bouncy curls, and it never tugs on my hair.

 

I really though that the search was over, but after using it for 3 months, it has started to tug on my hair, and later on, the ceramic coat has started to shed. I no longer use it because I'm sick of picking up the white ceramic sheds from my hair and I think I'm going to toss it after this review.
