For us heat styling tool challenge people, this iron is easy to use, doesn't hurt your wrists, or leave a little chunk of hair bent the wrong way at the end.
The learning curve wasn't too large, after a few tries I had it down, and the process is pretty quick. I just sectioned off my hair like normal and worked from back to front, to make sure I didn't miss any pieces.
At no point did the InstaWave get tangled in my hair (obviously my biggest concern) and it does automatically turn off after 90 minutes. (Anyone who's ever had those 'Did I forget to turn off the ____?' moments will appreciate that.)
My one issue with the InstaWave is that it emits a high-pitched noise when it's plugged it, that gets louder when you turn it on. I find this to be very bothersome, and contacted Kiss about it. They assured me it's not a safety issue, however, considering how close this tool is held to my ears, I do consider it a significant problem. Maybe I just have overly sensitive ears, but they are hurting from the noise.
Overall, I love the curls I was able to achieve and the ease of the product. You can purchase it for $59.99 at Target, Ulta and Amazon.
You can also watch a little video of it in action.
This opportunity was provided to me by BrandBacker.
You look stunning! I loved the hair, reminds me of the beach. I love that style, it's not a fancy hairstyle but still chic and beautiful.

I can never use any form of curling iron...I'm just too scared of burning myself, haha.... I bought a $20 one when I got my haircut last year and used it once...oh well

Love the waves. It's so funny I've never learned how to use a curling iron. For some reason my curls/waves never come out right. User error, obviously.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it worked beautifully! I would be willing to deal with the annoying sound if it gave me a hairstyle like yours!

nice product..love your hair
ReplyDeleteWow - I watched the video and that really is a lot of noise! It's a shame, because the curls turned out really beautifully, but I think all of that whirring would make me feel like I was at the dentist's office while I was doing my hair and that really wouldn't work for me. Guess I'll be sticking with ou sponge rollers for now ;)

Your hair is so pretty like that! The noise bothered me when I tried it too, but overall I am impressed with the curls and their staying power. I guess sometimes beauty equals a bit of ear pain! ;)
ReplyDeleteYour hair is glorious.

ReplyDeleteI love the automatic curling function. My hair is now a bit too short for that but I'll tell my daughter about it.

I would love to be able to do hair like this. Whenever I try it the curl just doesn't look right. You look stunning!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like such a great little tool! :) I'm never happy with my curls when I try a curling iron, haha. And if I am, they always come undone so quickly :P

That sound would bother me also. But it created some beautiful waves and curls for your hair.
