My friend Deirdre has hard to straighten hair. It’s short and wavy and she likes to wear it sleek and straight. In the past, she had to get professional blowouts for film premieres and such (she’s a documentary filmmaker}, but recently she found the secret to straightening her hair: the Instyler. [p] Why it’s so amazing: The chi Instyler is a rotating hot iron that has 4 rows of bristles that act like a brush. The first set of bristles separates hair, then the rotating cylinder polishes the hair, smoothing and straightening it. I know it sounds crazy, but Deirdre swears by it and we even tried some of the above straighteners on her hair and this one by far was the best.
