Best Hot Iron for Hair?

A new hot iron for hair called the InStyler was designed to replace a blow-dryer, flatiron, curling iron and big round brush.

You can straighten hair without flattening it, create soft, bouncy curls, flip ends in or out to finish a look, and enhance volume and body at the root.

You simply run it through your hair, allowing the first set of bristles to gently sort and separate the individual strands.

Next, the rotating, heated cylinder gently glides over your hair, smoothing, polishing and straightening it.

Finally, the second set of bristles finishes the hair, leaving it shiny and smooth.

The InStyler also gives you plenty of control over its heat, with low, medium and high settings, making it easier to style your hair exactly how you want it.

Celebrity hairstylist Dean Banowetz offers these tips for using it:

- Sleek Look. For shiny, smooth and straight hair with body, take a small section of hair, place the iron’s barrel near your roots and glide the iron down toward the ends. If you want a little more bend in the hair, apply added tension to the barrel and repeat until finished.

- Loose Curls. For a loose curl flipped away from the face, take a section of hair, with the barrel placed behind it so it is moving away from the face. Next, wrap a medium to small section around the barrel, close and hold for five seconds.

- Volume. To get hair that is full of volume, take a section of hair and move the iron the opposite way from which it falls. This puts additional support on the root of the hair, which results in more volume.
