I normally shower, blow out my hair with a round brush and head out to start my day. It takes about 40 minutes to blow out my hair with a round brush. For the KISS InstaWave, I actually showered, put my hair up & the next day used this curler on dry but un straightened hair. Usually my hair doesn't hold curl if I don't do it immediately after drying so this made the KISS InstaWave a true test of the best.
1. I noticed that I had to hold this in my hair for a good 10 seconds to get a GOOD Curl. I tried a quick spin and drop and the curl fell out quick.
2. I had a bit of tangling in my hair when I didn't piece out my hair. It's very important you put in a section otherwise it will twist up hair in the surrounding area.
3. Patience is a virtue. It took about 20 minutes total which wasn't as long as round brushing but it was longer than expected.
I was pleasantly surprised as curls stayed in all day and then the next. Usually my hair curls easy but only lasts a few hours. I documented below the progress of my hair throughout a full day (morning-8am to bedtime- 12am)

Dang D!!! You are always gorg, but that curl looks so awesome!!!! Do you think it would work on hair as long as mine?
ReplyDeleteYes but you would have to do very small sections and could take 40 to 60 minutes but would last for 2 days :)
DeleteGreat post! I am always looking for new things for my hair. ;)
ReplyDeletei would love to try this on my hair

ReplyDeleteWow your curls really lasted for most of the day! I got this too but before it came I ended up chopping off my hair off. I curled a few pieces for the review but I haven't used it fully because I'm not sure if it would look good or hold. You've given me LIFE with this post! = )
ReplyDeleteThose curls look awesome
ReplyDeleteI am convinced this makes excellent curls in your hair and it would be a great idea for my four daughters with long hair. I love curly hair on them!
ReplyDeleteWow, this looks like an awesome product that actually works!
ReplyDeleteYour curls are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous curls! I am growing my hair out from a very short cut and it's finally almost to my shoulders, I can't wait to curl it like that again!
ReplyDeleteI love the curls, now I need one of these :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, I am impressed! My hair normally won't hold a curl, either. I'm kinda hating that I cut it now, because I would have loved to have been able to curl my hair when it was long.
ReplyDeleteI am super impressed with those gorgeous curls. I know from experience with an almost $200 curling iron that getting curls that good is almost impossible
ReplyDeleteWow, amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou look gorgeous. Thanks for the tips and the honest review.
ReplyDeleteCurls looked good! I have naturally wavy hair, so I'm one of the lucky ones who would not need this (I would never have the patience for it anyway).
ReplyDeletelove your hair like this!
ReplyDeleteAwesome curls :)
ReplyDeleteMy hair has lost its body and hold now that I've hit perimenopause. I love using a curler if I need to look 'fancy' but have to really prep my hair with lots of product for it to hold LOL

Now I really want to try this! My curls never last more than a few hours like you, so I'm curious to know if this would work better on me too.
ReplyDeletewow! how nice, I love what it did to your hair in such a short time,, something that I defnitely could use :) great review and thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteWow, that looks amazing! I've always wanted curly hair. I've bought curling irons and got perms back in the 80's but nothing works. I might have to try this.

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how long your hair held it's curls from the Instawave. My daughter would love it because normally her curls want to fall after a few hours too.
It does a nice job of curling and looks like they last an incredibly long time.
ReplyDeleteWOW, most curls don't last that long, at least for me, thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of tracking how your curls lasted throughout the day. I haven't heard of this product before and I like the idea of not having to manually wrap my hair around a curling iron.
ReplyDeletewow i would love to have one of these, and they last all day long wow
ReplyDeleteHi! I've always been a little afraid of these "automatic" curlers. lol You showed how easy it is to use &, wow, did it last a long time! Thank-you for the information & review!
ReplyDeleteLove your curly results! I wish my hair could hold a curl that well. (I mean, it's not long enough to curl these days, anyway, but still!) This looks great.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing that the curls even last through to the next day, wow! And you look gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe curls look good on you. I keep my hair short because of all the swimming I do.
