My natural wave becomes natural frizz, and I’m not a fan.

Admittedly, my first attempt was clumsy.

It took a bit to get used to handling the InStyler.

After a few minutes of monkeying around with it, though, I got the hang of it.

You have to separate your hair into small, thin sections to get the best results.

With the bristle side up, I simply pulled my hair through with the InStyler as directed.

All in all, I was actually pretty impressed with the final result.

My hair was smooth and soft with a nice shine, and the volume stayed throughout the evening.

Through the crown/top layers of my hair, I opted to have the hair curl under instead of out.

I imagine it’s more of a flick-of-the-wrist technique that my brain didn’t get just right.

I’m hoping I’ll be able to figure it out, but it could be its primary downfall.

Wrap your hair around the rotating polishing cylinderand get an amazing curl that lasts all day!"

So how well did it hold up to these promises?

Well, I was impressed with the lift and fullness.

A full style in eight-minutes was a little unrealistic.

Actually, I didn’t feel that the InStyler was any faster than a flat iron or curling iron.

Speedy: not really.
