Hi everyone! I have a very exciting product review to share with you all! Being a member of BrandBacker has allowed me to connect with the brand KISS. They specialize in a ton of beauty products and just came out with the KISS InstaWave and I was lucky enough to receive one to review for all of you!
The KISS InstaWave is an easy-to-use styling tool that will help you achieve beautiful curls all by yourself. It's a fully automatic, tangle-free curler that lets you curl from any position using either hand. It has a large button on it that lets you switch directions of the curl from left to right (which is very helpful!), and it has two temperature settings (low and high) with a max temp of 420° F. The InstaWave even shuts off after 90 minutes - which is perfect because I always second guess myself if I turned off my styling tools or not.
This styling tool basically allows you to place a section of hair against the barrel, and it will do the rest! By pressing the large dial, it will spin the section of hair around the barrel and hold it in place while it curls. After 5-10 seconds, you can slide the tool down and release your curl!

Before using the KISS InstaWave, I washed my hair and blow dried it straight. My hair is naturally frizzy and wavy/curly so I tend to straighten it to control the frizz and volume. But I do love to curl it, so I was hoping this product would be great on my hair.
HOW TO:
First picture: I grabbed a section of my hair and pulled it in between the large inside tab and the heated curling barrel.
Second picture: I pressed the dial on the handle to begin the curling action.
Third picture: The hair has been wrapped around the barrel, and is placed there for 10 seconds to create a beautiful curl.

This product did an amazing job on my hair (I wish I could take credit, but the InstaWave did all the work!). It was so easy to use, and left my hair shiny and soft! The curls were so lightweight and full of volume. I would honestly recommend this tool for those who don't have a lot of experience with using curlers.
The only thing I did NOT like about this product was that as soon as I plugged it in (not even turning it on), I could hear a very high pitched sound, almost like white noise. It got louder as I turned it on to Low & High. I messaged my contact at KISS, and they said they are aware of this issue (it's caused by the circuit to drive the motor), but they assured me that it would not be a safety issue.
