Longing for those effortless, tousled, “I woke up like this” locks?
KISS Hair Appliances has developed a fantastic new tool, called the InstaWave that you need in your life. When I first read about this fully automatic tangle-free curler that instantly creates beautiful, long-lasting curls with ease, I was certain it was too good to be true…
But, thanks to BrandBacker, I was able to give it a try for myself. I’ll admit, I’m not one for reading instructions. I’d much rather just play around and figure out how things work myself. So, after some experimentation, confusion, and a few tangles, I finally got the hang of the InstaWave. From there, I had my entire head in perfectly polished curls in under 15 minutes.
Here’s how it works:
- Hold the InstaWave vertically
- Place a section of hair on the InstaWave curling rod (this is an important step to avoid tangles)
- Touch the Curl Dial either left or right, and it instantly and automatically catches and curls the hair
- Hold for 5-10 seconds (longer for tighter curls and less for beachy waves)
- Let the hair out by gently pulling down the InstaWave vertically
BONUS: Now you no longer have to fuss with attempting to curl your hair with the opposite hand or accept that your curls are always going to be going in the same direction on both sides of your head (if you don’t know what I’m talking about, lucky you)! Just switch between curling right and curling left on the button and you’ll create the most natural looking curls.
I promise, anyone can use this (and from any angle, with any hand)! With 2 heat settings and a maximum temperature of 420, it’ll also work on any type of hair. Plus, for those of us who have anxiety about leaving the house with our curling irons on (myself included – I have to check to make sure I unplug any hair tools like 3 times before walking out the door) it automatically shuts off after 90 minutes. One less thing to worry about is always a good thing!
You can grab your very own InstaWave at either Target or Ulta.
Side note – to achieve my messy waves, flip your head upside down and comb your fingers through your hair (after InstaWaving of course). Then, rub about a dime size portion of texturing creme in your palms and work through your curls. I’m a huge fan of KMS California’s Hair Play Messing Creme for this because it gives flexible hold and smells AMAZING!
Post quick curling satisfaction, I threw on a full face of Root make up (more on that below), grabbed Shaun Novak to snap a few blog pics (just what every guy wants to do before date night, right?) and off to dinner and the movies we went. Upon my return home, my messy curls were still intact!
Before I leave, let us have a makeup moment with Root – the most fantastic brand of all-natural beauty products. In these photos, I’m wearing all Root (except for my mascara, which is Maybelline’s The Falsies Big Eyes Volum’ Express Mascara). I’ve had my eyes on this booming beauty brand since my first review of their Pearl Powder Mineral Foundation over a year ago! Now they’ve expanded to adding eye shadow, lipstick and balm, stunning versatile pigments to play with, and so so so much more. Bottom line – if you haven’t tried Root yet, you need to!
PS – My sweater is from EXPRESS and it is the most comfy article of clothing I’ve ever owned in my entire life.
Happy curling! <3
