InStyler – Ionic Styler Pro (Hot Brush + Ceramic Flat Iron)

Posted on by

I’m sharing a demo of how I use the InStyler Ionic Styler Pro Hot Brush + Ceramic Flat Iron. I purchased this over a year ago at TJmaxx. The Ionic Styler Pro heats up from 280 – 400 degrees. The bristles don’t get hot just the barrel, so you have less of chance to get burned.

So here is my demo:

Overall, I like the Ionic Styler Pro. I find using it as a flat iron difficult to use on myself but easy to use on someone else. Small sections of hair work best especially if you have not blow-dried your hair prior. The only con to the Ionic Styler Pro is that product buildup is very difficult to clean.

Review: Curlformers Glam-up Kit for Barrel Curls

Posted on by

I purchased the Curlformers Glam-up Kit for Barrel Curls from Amazon. The set comes with 16 curformers, 1 glittery styling hook, 1 organza bag to hold curlformers, and instruction leaflet. There are 8 curlformers that curl to the right (gold line) and 8 that curl to the left.

You place the hook through the curlformer. The hook then loops onto a small section of wet hair, then you pull the hook out of the curlformer. You can air dry or use a hooded dryer.

There is a learning curve to using this product. My hair got snagged several time with pulling the hook out of the curlformer. I was taking larger sections of hair because the amount of curlformers is not enough to cover my whole head using the small sections that is recommended.

I choose to air dry. Removing the curlformers was easy, simply pinch the ends to open the curlformer, straighten it and slide down.

I liked how my hair came out. The curls came out well defined. It is a great way to get curls without heat. But I would definitely need to get at least two more of these kits to cover my head properly.
