You can quickly create a playful feathered hairstyle with the InStyler tool.
The InStyler is a rotating hot iron that combines the conveniences of a brush, flat iron and curling iron into one styling tool. When closed around a section of hair and moved down the hair shaft, the InStyler's rotating heated cylinder polishes hair while four sets of brush bristles opposite the cylinder smooth and style hair of nearly all lengths and conditions for a silky finish. With three heat settings, the InStyler allows for a number of hairstyles from stick-straight locks to cascading curls to the retro-hip feathered look. Once popular in the 1970s, feathering flips the front layers of hair away from the face for a playful, free-spirited coiffure.
Instructions
1. Plug in the InStyler and press the "On/Off" button to power on the tool. The InStyler defaults to "High" heat (appropriate for thick and coarse hair); press the power button once for "Medium" (medium-textured hair) and again for "Low" heat (fine and thin hair), as indicated by the blinking temperature LED. Allow the device to fully heat (shown by a solid LED) before styling.
2. Comb through your hair with a medium-tooth comb to remove any tangles. Part your hair in the desired location---right side, left side or down the middle---using the tail of your comb to run along your scalp and separate the hair.
3. Gather a 2- to 3-inch-wide section of hair about 1/2 inch from your part, using the tail of the comb to separate the hair. While holding the layer of hair in your nondominant hand, position the open InStyler with your dominant hand around the layer of hair beginning at the roots---barrel on top---and close it. The cylinder automatically begins to rotate.
4. Glide the InStyler slowly down the layer of hair, gently twisting the cylinder away from your face about two-thirds of the way down so the brush of the InStyler begins to turn upward. At the end of the hair, allow the hair tips to rotate along the barrel for three to five seconds. This gives the hair a smooth and subtle flip on the end. For a larger flip, begin turning the InStyler sooner down the hair layer.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 on the opposite side of your part, separating a layer out and flipping the end.
6. Touch up bottom-layer ends of unflipped hair by closing the InStyler around the tips and allowing it to smooth the ends for three to five seconds, rotating the barrel away from the face.
7. Spray a light layer of hairspray over your hairstyle to keep it in place.
