Instyler Freestyle Ceramic Styling Wand | Salon Quality at Home | Ionic Tip Barrel | Dual Voltage Tool | Ceramic Heated Bristles | Frizz Reducing Brush

Overall, I'm delighted with this thing. It is economical, effective, simple to use-- and actually fun! I tried and despised the Airless, so this is a huge improvement. The Freestyle gets hot fast, but even at the highest setting it does not feel like it's damaging my hair. I can twirl or slide it through quite rapidly and I suspect that my hair is barely making direct contact with hot surfaces. It's just a smart design. It smooths, shines, and de-frizzes my hair. I can use it to make sleeker, longer curls throughout my natural curls or I can use it to make beachy waves. If you do not follow the directions, it is very easy to tangle your hair-- which is scary. If I stop paying attention, then my long hair will definitely get wrapped up in this thing. Eeeek. However, this has not happened once when I am actually following the directions. Basically only when I zone out. It's also a pain in the butt to keep clean, and I do worry that the bristles could be breakable if I accidentally drop it. I have also actually caused more frizz at times with this tool, but that seems like a technique issue more than anything. I have also noticed that I have difficulty creating volume at the roots with this tool-- not sure if that's a technique thing too or if my very long hair is just too heavy. I also have to detangle realllllllly thoroughly to use the tool without snagging and ripping my way through my hair. Ouuuuch. But the instructions do say to detangle, so that isn't really a shocker. Just more of an irritating extra step that comes along with having piles of hair. Overall, I love it and am glad I found it.

Edit to include: this is a review of the FREESTYLE InStyler tool. I noticed that the reviews here are for multiple models of the InStyler. I LOVE the InStyler tool. The first photo shows my InStyler (white) and my very old InStyler (purple). I bought my original InStyler many years ago, maybe 8-10 years? I can’t really remember. But the hard plastic teeth are now breaking off. The tool still works. I searched for months locally for a replacement of anything close to my purple tool. No luck. One key feature is the on/off button does not toggle when using the tool. Not the case with every other brand out there. Also, other brands have bristles which cause static and pull the curl out of my hair. I finally went on line and found out the InStyler that I love is not made any more. But the new model (white) is available. So I gave it a shot. I love it. The on/off button is not an issue. It seems to get hotter than my old tool so I use a lower setting. The 2nd pic attached is my hair air dried and frizzy. The 3rd pic is my hair smooth and curled with the InStyler. Both the new & old tool yield these results. I like the fact that I am able to let my hair air dry and allow my natural curl and wave (and let’s face it, friz) be the base that will create the body behind the soft curls that the InStyler yields. Plus not blow drying means less damage to my hair.

Agree with all the other reviews. The Instyler is the best curling tool, especially for straight, fine and thin hair. And, yes, it is fragile. An additional plus, I have used this device all over the world, there has never been a problem with voltage. I have bought at least 3 of these and will continue to buy the Instyler, even with the fragility issue. When something works, I'm sticking with it. This is a great tool! I highly recommend it!

This is easy to use and hardy! You will have it for a good amount of time if you treat it well. It is fabulous in doing what I need it to do in the curling of my hair! I have used different ones over my years since completing high-school 50 years ago, and this one is by far the best…

I have used the instyler hot curling brush for years to tame my curly hair. I really love this product and hope it does not go away. The only change I wish they would make is to make the barrell a little longer in length. Also, I'm not crazy over the way the teeth are made on this one but I can live with it. I was used to the instyler that had the purple handle but I guess that one has gone away. As long as they continue to make this product, I will buy it.

Works well, I like it.

I’ve had three of these Instylers & the top has come loose on all three. I’m not sure if it can be fixed or not. I’ve not figured it out if it can. It looks like you could tighten it up but it won’t. They should last longer than they do for that amount of money!

I've used the instylers that have a rotating barrel for years and loved them so when my latest one broke I thought I'd give this a try. It works great for quickly straightenning your hair with a little flip or tiny curl at the bottom, but I can't get the beachy waves I like from the old instyler to save my life. It's probably my fault, I'm not a very "high maintenance" kind of girl, I barely know how to do my go-to natural looking makeup and my quick beachy waves with the old instylers- I see the results other women are getting but I just can't figure it out. It tangles or falls off the barrel for me. So if you are either good at using beauty products or only want to use it to quickly smooth your hair out, this would work. Just not for me. It gets plenty hot and seems like a fine product, but I think I'll stick with the original instylers.
