Review: Kiss InstaWave Automatic Curler


What is the Kiss InstaWave?


The Kiss InstaWave is a clipless curling iron/wand that has a 1" rotating barrel that creates tangle-free, beautiful, long-lasting curls with ease! It is easy to use with either hand and has a curl dial that can make left/right curling directions. The wand also has 2 heat settings that reach a max temperature of 420 degrees. The wand also has an automatic timer that turns the wand off after 90 mins, so no need to stress after you leave. "Did I forget to turn off my curling wand?" If you want tighter curls, turn the heat setting to high and hold the hair on the wand for 10 seconds. For looser, more beachy waves, use the low setting and hold for 5 seconds.

How do I use it?


Make sure your hair is 100% dry and tangle free before beginning. Start by settling your heat to your desired temperature. The wand has an indicator light that turns red when the device is on, but turns blue when it reaches the right temperature, the wand heats up in under 2 mins. 
Start by grabbing a 1-2" section of hair and placing the hair in the dial at the bottom of the wand. Make sure you hold the wand vertical and close to your roots for a more natural curl. 
Push the the curl dial button left or right and the InstaWave will instantly and automatically catch your hair and wrap it around the wand to curl it. Release the button when all of the hair is wrapped on the barrel. **Pro Tip: Switch between curling your hair left and right for a more natural look. When you reach the front of your face, curl the hair away from your face.
Make sure the wand is vertical and hold for 5-10 seconds(depending on your desired look)
Pull the wand straight down to release your hair and admire your wonderful curls!

First Impressions


It took me about 3 tries to get the hang of the curling wand, and I still was not super impressed with it. Though the barrel is 1", my hair is a few inches past my shoulders and the wand did not do a great job curling my hair, I think this product is best for longer hair. The curls weren't a complete fail, they did look pretty nice in some parts, maybe I just need a bit more practice with it. (I will insert pictures)

















As you can tell by my face, I was not completely impressed with it. Maybe if I tried a few more times and tried on somebody with longer hair it would look great. I've seen fantastic results from this wand and it is still growing on me. Maybe my next time will be a huge success and I can post a great update!(Stay tuned!)

Where can I purchase it?


The Kiss InstaWave retails for about $59.99. You can purchase from their official site here, on Amazon or if you need it today! Visit your local Target or Ulta
