I bought the Instyler and they make you buy two when you do. Wasn't happy about that. Shipping took awhile. I gave one to my daughter and the other for me. The first time my daughter used her Instyler it overheated and broke. I called them as I had purchased a lifetime waranty. They said okay just return it. I gave my daughter mine and returned the broken Instyler. It took 3 months to get a replacement unit. I used it for about 2 months and still couldn't get it to work well on my long, thick curly hair. Has to be on the highest setting and then its to hot and burns my hair. Doesn't work on my daughter's hair either. Perhaps if one has thin hair they would have better luck. I really tried to get this to work, I was so excited when I watched the info that said any hair type. This is not true and I suggest that you try to find someone with one to test it out before purchase or wait until they are sold in stores so you can return.

I'm not sure why your experience with the InStyler wasn't as great as mine. But, I'm not sure what you were doing either. I never really tried it without some sort of product in my hair. I use DooGrow after I wash my hair. I then blow dry my hair before I use the InStyler. My hair is curly. My daughter's hair is coarse and thick. When I use the InStyler, I always use the highest heat setting and I just don't let it sit on my hair too long. So I never burn our hair. When using the InStyler, I make sure that the hair is pressed against the barrel as if I'm trying to add volume. I make sure that the barrel is rotating in the direction that I am pulling the InStyler. I also make sure not to put too much hair in it at one time. I hope this has been helpful for you.
