Can I use styling products before or after I use my MAX?
You can use any salon quality product with your
MAX, although we do not recommend using any oil-based
products on your hair beforehand. A professional thermal
protectant spray can be applied to the hair before you style,
as well as any professional firm-up or styling spray to help
hold the style.
MAX doesn’t seem to be working on my ends. Am I doing
something wrong?
If you’re having trouble styling the ends, try holding
MAX there a little bit longer. The ends of the hair are
normally the driest part of the hair, and can be a bit
more dicult to style. It helps to use a good conditioner,
especially on the ends to help infuse moisture. Also, if you
have split ends, the hair may come out looking frizzy.
I see smoke coming from my hair! Is it burning my hair?
No! MAX is not burning your hair. This is just a byproduct of
the evaporation of built-up conditioner or styling products
on your hair and it is completely normal.
Can I use my MAX with real human hair extensions?
Yes. Make sure you start with your MAX below where the
extension is attached to your natural hair. Do not pull
MAX through with any pressure, as you may pull out your
extensions if not careful. NEVER use your MAX with any
synthetic hair extensions.
What is the InStyler MAX Rotating Iron?
MAX is a new hair styling tool that straightens, polishes
and styles hair by means of a rotating heated barrel and
brush bristles. This totally new design polishes the hair
strands individually, creating amazing results that are much
better than those they would have achieved using a flat
iron, curling iron, or hot tool. The new design delivers great
results without an extreme amount of heat or heavy styling
products.
How is MAX dierent than my flat iron?
Simple: A flat iron compresses, mashes and then literally
bakes your hair between two extremely hot plates.
MAX’s rotating polishing barrel gives your hair the heat
it needs to help style and straighten. Since the barrel
is constantly moving, it won’t “press and bake” like a
traditional flat iron. MAX also features a heated, floating
plate between the two rows of brushes. The plate
automatically adjusts, allowing the hair to have more
consistent contact with the barrel, without having to grip
the unit so tightly. The result is less frizz and smoother,
shinier hair with no creasing. The polishing barrel allows
MAX to actually use less heat than a flat iron delivering
better results including perfect flips, curls and loads of
luscious volume.
I need a lot of heat to straighten my hair. Will MAX get hot
enough?
We get asked this question a lot, and we’re very proud to
say you can add this one to the old “hair styling myths”
column! With MAX, you don’t need a lot of heat to
straighten and style your hair! MAX’s unique design actually
allows you to use less heat than you are used to, while still
getting better results than you would with a flat iron or
other hot tool. It’s a totally new way of thinking about heat
and your hair – you don’t need the extreme heat to get the
results you want. If you decide that you would like more
heat, MAX has two dierent temperature settings.
Can I use MAX to curl hair?
Absolutely! Simply by wrapping your hair around the
rotating heated polishing barrel, and closing MAX, you can
create great curls!
The heated polishing barrel rotates. Can my hair get
tangled?
No. The surface of the rotating heated polishing barrel is
totally smooth, so your hair will not get tangled.
What is the diameter of the heated barrel?
Your MAX heated barrel diameter is 1¼ inches.
