Today I'm putting two automatic hair curlers to the test: the Chi Spin N Curl, as seen on TikTok, and my current favorite: the Kiss Instawave. Can you get the same results with the cheaper alternative, or is the expensive option worth the splurge? I'll be testing them on my short hair that's very thick and wavy. Let me know in the comments which automatic hair curler you think did a better job!

I bought the CHI Spin & Curl this week so I could style my hair for a wedding yesterday. I absolutely love how it worked and received so many compliments on my hair. Curls stayed over night too! So glad I purchased it!

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

Yes, the curls last!! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!

@GMR.24 Год назад

I don't usually get into tutorial videos. I kind of fast forward through and just watch the parts I need. But your commentary is amazing. You explain things very well. You make great points, very clearly. You're just... really good at this! While also being natural and relatable! You've earned my sub!!

Thank you so much for the review. I've seen the Chi, but never watched to see how to use it and thought it might be gimmicky. BUT, after seeing your video, I am intrigued to buy one. Maybe for once I can curl my hair with ease. Your hair looked fantastic!

I watched another person using the Chi Spin N Curl and she wasn't as articulate and organized as you. The time spent was well worth viewing because you compared a product that you have used prior to the introduction of something new. You gave me a convincing reason why I should look into the purchase of the Chi Spin N Curl. I am conscious of the value and cost of a product and I research what I buy more often now. The newer version is now in a rose gold barrel. Thank you.

@windowdepot7492 2 года назад

Thanks for the review. Just FYI, I might have missed it, but I didn’t hear any mention about hair length issues with either. I have the Chi and it was impossible to use with shorter hair as you didn’t have enough hair to grab onto the barrel, but I was able to a little easier with the Instawave.

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

Yes I actually mention the opposite-- with the Chi there's also a limited amount of hair you can work on due to how short the barrel is, so I imagine for longer hair you'd only be able to curl your ends.

@ashh996 3 года назад

@ginadeluca9749 3 года назад

I can tell the CHI tool is making your curls smooth and adding bounce. I might wait until my birthday or tax returns. I'm use to no heat strategies since my hair is on the fine side.

@slashedbeauty 3 года назад

Definitely, and the curls lasted longer too!

@tarawalzer 2 года назад

I'm growing my pixie out and could never manage to curl my hair myself with a regular wand (just too thick and i don't seem to have the skill) so I am looking forward to trying the CHI

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

I'm eager to hear how it works on shorter hair! Be sure to circle back and update us!

@patriciabalderas1306 3 года назад

Loved your review I have been thinking about getting the chi curler for a while. The only thing I will say is it seems u were able to grab thicker pieces with the chi maybe that makes it a faster curling time then with the kiss your pieces seemed slimmer. Great review 👌

@slashedbeauty 3 года назад

Yes, but not too thick that it would trigger the tangle alarm! 😂Thanks for watching, Patricia!

@heppihippos9307 3 года назад

I got so scared when I saw the smoke rising up from your hair 😂🙈 I usually can't get curls to stay in my hair because I have pretty fine hair but also a lot of it. The only thing that works is the babyliss automatic curler but I don't quite like the curls it creates because they're too tight for me. Maybe I'll try the CHI 🤔 it seems to create bigger curls

@slashedbeauty 3 года назад

Ooh yes I've tried that one and it took forever because it works in such small sections for tight curls like you said. Maybe you could get away with the 1" in this tool!

@timiddd 2 года назад

If you hair spray the curl or pin it up when it’s still hot it can help maintain the curl for longer, but i still think this looks super pretty and i wanna try and buy the chi!!!

@lorimoore5589 3 года назад

Maybe the smaller barrel on the kiss one would give you tighter curls, because you said you bought the bigger barrel because you don't like tight curls but you like the tighter curls the chi gave you. You have gorgeous hair either way.

@slashedbeauty 3 года назад

These two are both 1 & 1/4 inch! I believe the heat and tension resulted in the more uniform curl.

@autumn5396 2 года назад

I have a beachwaver and would love to see the chi compared to that. I feel like the clamp on the beachwaver makes the ends of my curls look bad

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

@julielyons9180 Год назад

I am sure you already know that the Kiss Instawave also has a more expensive one and the difference is that the cord swivels and it has one of the prongs that is located close to the barrel for a more secure hold on the hair, and it also has a beep once the curl has set which tells you that you can pull down to release your hair, and I think it also turns itself off if left plugged in for 90 min.

@slashedbeauty Год назад

Yes, that's the newer version!

@beesilva9085 2 года назад

The chi side looks so beautiful! Can anyone tell me if this might cause heat damage? Thanks

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

You can play around with what heat setting works for your hair and always put a heat protectant spray on first!

@ShaniaT036 2 года назад

In your opinion between both tools which one would you suggest for long hair & when I say long I mean it’s almost to the top of my hips 😬🤗

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

I don't think the CHI would be good for long hair to be honest because it can only take a certain amount to fit in the barrel! I've seen people with long hair use it but its more just curling the ends-- and if you feed too much in it it will stop half way!

@evelynramirez162 11 месяцев назад

Hii hopefully you see this comment even if it is 2 years later from when you posted the video. So when we want to straighten or curl our hair it doesn’t matter if our hair is wet from heat protection spray can we directly apply the tool to our hair with the heat protection wet hair?

@slashedbeauty 11 месяцев назад

I would say don’t make it WET but a little damp is fine

@t4tulip 2 года назад

I don't understand what you mean about not being able to travel with it because it is only single voltage? You can buy European adapters if that's what you're talkin about. I lived in Europe and had to buy adapters for my TV and several other things that I brought from the US. They worked great! I hope this helps you!

@slashedbeauty 2 года назад

The adapters only change the plug type-- single or dual voltage refers to the actual electrical voltage that powers it/that it can handle, and countries have a different standard voltage that their outlets put out. If an appliance is single voltage , it'll say something like 110V only on the plug. Dual votalge will say something like 110/330V. If there's only one number and you bring it to a country with a higher voltage, it will literally overcharge/fry your appliance. If it's dual voltage, that means it can handle a range of voltage levels.
