The InstaWave is super easy to use, but give your self a few practice tries, as it is a little different than most hair styling tools you’ve probably used in the past. I accidentally made this mistake and tried my first piece in the very front of my hair, right next to my face. Try your first and maybe second and third piece underneath or somewhere in the back.
The styling tool heats up right away, and you can adjust to a high or a low setting. I have super thick, full hair, so I went with the high setting, which is a maximum of 420 degrees. You then just wrap the end of some hair around the base of the InstaWave (between the prongs so that it can grab your hair and start twisting) then push the button to have it either rotate left or rotate right (depending on what side of your head your curling, and if you want the curls curling towards your face or outwards.
I started on my left side, and holding the InstaWave vertically, I curled outward by clicking the right side of the button. Like I said, it took me a few tries, but by the second or third try, I had it down. I also started playing with different curls varying how much hair I put in and if I pulled the end in around the thongs to curl up from the bottom or put my hair in towards about the bottom-middle length of my hair, to leave some of my natural ends. (I like leaving some of my ends out of the curl as this tends to give a more natural, wavy look). You can also curl some curls to the right and some to the left, throughout your hair, to get the most natural looking curls.
When you push the button, the InstaWave will begin rotating until you reach the root of your hair. Just take your finger off the button when you get to the roots, hold for about 5-10 seconds (or less if you’re going for loose waves) and then just pull the InstaWave out of the curl by pulling it downwards, vertically. I found my hair came right out of the InstaWave when I got to my roots and held, no problem. I never had any tugging on my hair of any sort, and absolutely no discomfort while using my InstaWave!
Here you can see where you can get some tighter barrel curls. Just brush out for a more natural wavy look, or use your fingers to loosen the curls and then apply some holding hairspray or pomade.
I’m absolutely hooked on this styler. It’s super easy to use and I love that the barrel doesn’t rotate too quickly too so you don’t get your hair caught in a nasty mess! This tool is incredibly easy to use that even tween girls could use this product (if you happen to have one or more on your holiday shopping list this year!)
The InstaWave can help you change up your look daily by using it to create tons of different styles. I love the versatility of this styling tool and the fact that it does the work, the actual curling for you! It is a fully automatic curler that curls your hair for you!
Also, if like me, you often leave the house and think, “Oh crap! Did I remember to unplug my curling iron?” Well no more worrying about that! The InstaWave automatically turns off after 90 minutes! This is genius and I am surprised you don’t find this on every hair tool on the market! (And yet another good reason this would make the perfect gift for younger girls on your holiday list this year, or if you have a completely forgetful room mate!)
I’m completely obsessed with my InstaWave and have no doubt I will be using it for years to come! This awesome curling iron does the work for me, is completely tangle-free and safe on my hair, and also gives me lots of fabulously different styles in minutes! I also love that my curls hold all day too!
