Kiss InstaWave Automatic Curler Review...Can My 9 Year Old Use It?

My daughter, 9, used a friend's automatic curler while spending the night and raved about it. Her hair looked really great, plus I didn't have to stand there and curl it for her. How awesome is that?!?!

However, when I found out the device used cost $99, it lost most of its awesomeness.

$99!!

I was NOT willing to spend that kind of money on a hair styling tool.

Sorry.

So, when I was contacted to see if I had interest in doing a review for a similar product, the Kiss InstaWave Automatic Curler, I was intrigued.

After all, I want my daughter to be able to fix her hair up whenever she'd like...and without that meaning that I'd be tied up in the process for a good 30-45 minutes. I set my hopes on the Kiss InstaWave working well.

Watch our video below to see how it worked out for us.

 

So, here's a few observations:

• You'll need a small amount of time to get used to the functions (mostly, remembering which way to push the button in order to curl in a certain direction). There's not a huge learning curve, though.
• You MUST have combed-out tangle-free hair or you may have problems. No tangles=good thing.
• It really helps cut down on the time to curl, though it still takes some time.
• It really cuts down on the "muscle-used" factor, which I imagine would be very helpful to someone with arthritis or carpal tunnel syndrome. My wrist didn't get the workout it usually does when using a curling iron, so YAY!!
• It heats up SUPER quick. You will NOT be twiddling your thumbs waiting for it to heat up.
• There are 2 settings: Low and High, with High maxing out at 420F degrees.
• It shuts off automatically after 90 minutes, so don't worry about leaving it on all day accidentally.
• It's best if you keep the section of hair you're working on completely separated from the rest of your hair, b/c the device can "grab" other hair you aren't intending to get at that time.
• It's kind of fun, while also making hair look so pretty.
• My daughter can now curl her own hair all by herself...AND she can curl her little sister's hair, too!

Score!!
