Straight hair with volume!
undefined.8 years agoI have fine hair with a slight frizzy wave in it and when I use a flat iron (which I usually do - because I am in a hurry and don't have time to do the whole section by section with a round brush routine), my hair ends up looking super flat and limp. The MAX gives me that blowout look, but I can still be done in about 10 minutes. Looks like round is the new flat! Love it!

stops working
undefined.8 years agoI bought this less than 2 months ago to replace the instyler I bought in 2010, I loved it but it was showing it's age. I'm very disappinted that it is not the quality my first one was. I only use it every couple of days but it no longer turns. The smaller one still works fine though. Since their return policy says you can only return within 30 days of purchase I cannot get another one to replace it.

No good
When using the brush my hair gets frizzy and takes a long time to flat iron. Total opposite of what I was expecting.
Lacks heat
It Doesn’t get as hot to hold the curl at the ends.
Takes too long to do my hair.
It’s too stiff and it takes twice the time to do my hair than the original rotating iron.
Love it!!
Love the max prime, it's the first InStyler I've had since 2009. I love that it gives my hair body.
Great buy!
I really like how quick and how smooth this makes my pretty curly hair. Saves me so much time! Love it!!
Gotta have
I have very thick hair, it is also wavy, curly and strait in places. This makes my life sooo much easier.
The Original Instyler Is Better Than The Max
I do not like the new Max Prime Instyler as well as the original Instyler that I bought years ago. It does not hold the hair as secure and some of my hair falls out of the iron before I get to the end of it.
Would buy again!
Like this iron as much as the Airless-just a different size barrel for a different look. Also super easy when I want to straighten.
JUST AS THE ORIGINAL!!!!
My mom loves it! Was looking for the original but it's sold out :(. This works great! Will buy more for family and myself!!!!
Breaks hair
Hair gets stuck in the top of the roller and breaks.
Works great!
It straightens and softly curls my extremely curly hair! The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because this is my third one I’ve had to purchase. I still think it’s worth it because it works so well!
Very disappointed. Does not work with thick curly
I thought maybe I had found a tool that would give me that blow out look on my thick, curly hair. I was wrong. It pulled out my hair, the handle made it very easy to burn my thumb, it’s very clunky to handle, and it didn’t straighten my hair nearly as well as my straightener does. Maybe this works well on thinner, wavy hair. But if you have incredibly thick, very curly hair, do not try this.
Excellent hair styler
Love this styling tool, have used this before and had to order a replacement.
From the original till now bad quality
I am a hairstylist of 18 years I know quality when I see it. I bought my mom three in total the first one I got at a TJ Maxx for $49 and it was the best one of all, bought her another one at Sally’s lasted a year, it started to smell like melting plastic and when she would press it down in her hair it started doing electric shocks. Bought her a third one on the site a year ago and some months and now it is rubbing metal to metal and creating damage in your hair. The rotating barrel is flimsy, and the quality of the whole iron in itself is cheaply made.
Wouldn’t recommend
Definitely doesn’t work as well as others. My hair is still frizzy
10/10 Love my curls
Been using this machine for 8 years now it’s my 3rd one the only thing I use works wonders I’m sad it’s no longer in any stores my first time ordering it online
I love it!
I love it! This is my third Instyler. I bought my first one in 2007 and that one lasted 8 yrs. My second one had to be replaced since it was faulty. My second one last 7 yrs. My friend just used mine and she is buying one for herself and her daughter.
Problem Solver
This has solved my styling problems! After hair loss from being sick, my hair is growing back super curly and I had no idea how to “tame” it. I love how smooth and straight it is for days after styling with my Max Pro! Thank you!!
Replacement Parts!
I have been using the Instyler for 10 + years. I have owned, at least, 5. Currently, I have the type of Instyler that you can take the bristles off on either side with not much difficulty. The problem I'm having is instead of buying an entirely new Instyler where can I buy a set of replacement bristles, as everything else about this Instyler is in perfect working order. Please advise. Thank you.
The quality of the InStyler has decreased since the original one. I'm glad that I patiently waited for a sale on this one. It does not get very hot and it just doesn't work as good as the previous ones. This will be the 6th InStyler I have had and definitely not happy with it.
