Hair Game Changer: Kiss InstaWave

DIY is not my strong suit — I see things on Pinterest and instantly check Etsy to see if I can buy them pre-made. Likewise for my hair: Trying to do it myself is a waste of time and energy because it always ends up taking hours and looking bad. It makes me sad to think about how many video tutorials I’ve watched and how far away I still am (especially when I realize the girls in the video are 12 and I just graduated college and can’t mimic their technique). But now I’ll never have to.

Enter the KISS InstaWave, which is idiotproof. This automatic curler is tangle-free and easy to use. Place a section of hair on the InstaWave and press the curl dial (there are two directions depending on which way you want your hair to curl — your two front pieces should always curl away from your face) and it automatically catches and curls. It eats up the whole length of your hair so you don’t have to worry about what to do with the ends. After 10 seconds, just pull out the iron and you have a perfect curl. This is by far the most exciting hair tool I have ever used and it’s totally changed my hair game.

The InstaWave is available in September for $60 at Target, Ulta and Amazon.com.
