My hair is damaged from using my chi iron everyday, so i've been wanting to get the instyler thing. but on the comercial it says 30 day trial for 14.99, what happens after the 30 days do I have to give it back or do I have to pay more? if I have to pay more how much do I have to pay? I tried calling the number, but I got some rude lady and ended up just hanging up, then I tried calling back, and they started asking me all these questions like "what my first andd last name is,and where I live" I told the lady I only had a question, and she insisted I gave her my information so I just hung up, and figured i'd ask on here!
That Instyler thing looks super damaging to the hair. I can't say because I haven't tried it, but brushing the hair, while you're applying heat just sounds disastrous to me. Your hair can only take so much, and if you have hair that needs straightening to look straight, then you probably shouldn't be using a brush any way ever - only a wide toothed comb to detangle, and a skinny comb with a flat iron on the lowest heat you can use to produce straight results. Most people turn their flat irons all the way up, when they can probably get their hair straight on a much lower temperature. Usually 50 - 100 degrees cooler.
Also you should be using heat protectant every time you use heat.
Now the brush and that heat will make your hair look shiny at first, but after awhile, it will degrade your strands, and split up your hair and ends. Brushes are very damaging to curly hair. I can't see any way that it wouldn't. It just can't logically be used without creating some sort of excessive damage. A regular flat iron chasing a skinny comb, on low heat, on air dried hair sounds much better.
Second:
You have to be careful with trial offers like that. What happens is that they get your credit card number and info, in order to charge you the $14.99. After your trial period is up, they will charge your same card for whatever the retail price is for the product plus shipping and handling, and any other fees they want to tack on. All the fees will usually be listed in the fine print of the receipt that you receive from them.
Many times fees like this can add up to $100 - $200 for products like these. In order to cancel the offer before your card is charged, you usually have to call a special number before a certain date (usually printed on the receipt as well), and you also have to ship the product back to the manufacturer at your expense. This is fine if the product is something that you really want. But if you are not sure, just buy the product from a local store. I know many beauty supply stores that sell salon products have it, as well as stores like Linens and Things or Bed Bath and Beyond sometimes have it. Return it if you don't like it. But honestly, that thing looks crazy. You shouldn't buy it. [ meep's advice column | Ask meep A Question ]
