Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the InStyler as compared to my flat iron?
A. The technique is similar in that you put your hair into the InStyler, you close it onto
your hair, and then slowly move down the length of your hair. That is where the
similarities end!! The rotating, heated, polishing barrel and bristles will do most
of the work for you. Plus, you’ll find that you can do much, much more with your
InStyler than you could ever do with your flat iron.
My Hair is coming out frizzy when I use my InStyler. What am I doing wrong?
A. Go Slowly. It helps to completely dry, comb and detangle your hair as much as
possible. Position the InStyler so that the barrel rotates with the direction of your
hair. Also, keep in mind to put as little tension as possible on the barrel. This will
help keep frizz to a minimum.
Does the InStyler work on natural African American hair?
A. Absolutely. You will get best results if your hair is combed and detangled first.
The InStyler is a great tool for African American Hair because it will not leave
crease marks like flat irons, and the polishing barrel and bristles will leave the
hair looking shiny and beautiful. The InStyler is safe for any type of hair when
used properly.
Should I dry my hair first before using the InStyler?
A. It is recommended that you do dry your hair completely before using your InStyler.
The style will hold better and longer if you start with fully dried hair. Damp hair will
take longer to style, and will not hold a style as well as dry hair.
Can I use styling products before or after I use my InStyler?
A. You can use any salon quality product with your InStyler, although we do not
recommend using any oil-based products on your hair beforehand. A professional
thermal protectant spray can be applied to the hair before you style, as well as any
professional firm-up or styling spray to help hold the style.
The InStyler doesn’t seem to be working on my ends. Am I doing something wrong?
A. If you’re having trouble styling the ends, try holding the InStyler there a little bit
longer. The ends of the hair are normally the driest part of the hair, and can be
a bit more difficult to style. It helps to use a good conditioner, especially on the
ends to help infuse moisture. Also, if you have split ends, the hair may come out
looking frizzy.
