I Tried The InStyler Max 2-Way Rotating Iron And The Results Were Amazing

Today I'm going to tell you a special story about how I received an InStyler Max 2-Way Rotating Iron for review, but first I have to tell you about my hair. When I was a kid, my hair was super straight, but somewhere around age 25, it went through what I can only assume was a quarter life crisis, and turned into a frizzy puff ball. I've tried cutting it short and I've tried growing it long, I've eve tried special shampoos, but nothing seems to stop the frizz.

One time my friend Lee tried using a flat iron on my hair, but 20 minutes into the process, we hadn't even straightened a fourth of it. (Have I mentioned that in addition to being long my hair is really thick?) I was out. There was no way I was going to put in the time necessary to straighten all of my hair. So last weekend, when I was at her house practicing wedding crafts and helping her take pictures of a fancy hair straightener, I really didn't think it would work for me - in fact, we had already reminisced about that unsuccessful flat iron experience. But as I watched her use it on her hair, it was so pretty, and worked so well, I wanted to try it for myself just in case.

Will The InStyler Max Work On Long, Thick, Coarse, And Frizzy Hair?

We took a quick before picture just (bloggers take pictures of everything), and I started using the InStyler Max. Right away I could see it straightening my hair, and it was FAST. I could hardly believe it. I've never been good with hair tools, but this was actually easy to use. 

Very quickly I straightened half of my hair. You can see it right there in the middle of the collage - a picture of my hair half straight and half frizzy. I was impressed, but ready to move on with other things we had planned, until Lee pointed out how fast it was going. "Are you kidding? Do your whole head! This is working and only took a few minutes!" I quickly finished straightening the rest of my hair and took a final picture.

The entire straightening process took 15 minutes. We were both amazed. 

I'm not sure if it is the ceramic barrel, the ionic bristles, or the fact that it rotates, but something about the InStyler Max is magical. So magical, in fact, that this isn't the end of the story...

I returned home Sunday night and went to sleep. Now, anyone with long, thick hair like mine knows you don't wash it every day - it takes a long time to wash and hours to dry - so I woke up Monday morning and ran a brush through it. You know what? It was still straight. Unbelievably straight. 

As the day progressed I could't stop looking at it. Straight, sleek hair. It was like being 24 years old again. I went outside, and even the heavy Florida humidity wasn't touching it. Later that night I had to make a run for the car in the rain because we had an appointment, and I had another quick run through the rain when we returned home. I walked into the bathroom, and saw...straight hair. 

Sleep. Humidity. Rain. The InStyler Max beat them all. 

This was when I knew I needed the InStyler in my life full-time, and I had to tell you about it. You can expect to see a lot more pictures of me with straight, frizz-free hair in the future, because something easy I can do in 15 minutes, and see the effects last for days, is exactly the kind of hair treatment I have longed for.

The InStyler Max can also be used to make curls or add volume to your hair. Those things are going to take some practice, I expect, but I'm going to try. I think it helps that the barrel rotates to the right or the left, so I won't have to hold it backwards or upside down to get the curls on both sides to match like I would with a curling iron. It is easy to get it to change the direction of rotation, too, you just double "click" the iron as you close it.

For more InStyler goodness, check out Lee's hair. She has really fine hair, but it worked for her, too. Magic, I tell you. Magic. And if you want some of this magic in your own life, check out the InStyler website. They have both a buy one get one free deal and a 30-day trial offer happening right now. This is the time to get straight hair. And if you are thinking this works great for me because my hair is long, but would never work on your super short hair, take a look at the small ¾" barrel InStyler. It might just be perfect for you.

Tell me about your hair routine.
Do you spend time straightening or curling your hair each day? 

*I was given an InStyler Max by VocalPoint. I was not required to say nice things or look at myself in the mirror 175 times while stroking my hair and whispering, "It's so straight."
