KISS InstaWave Automatic Tangle Free Hair Curler is fun and easy to use @brandbacker @kissproducts


Disclosure: Powered by Brandbacker. My opinions are my own.


I love to curl my hair my dread how challenging it can be with the standard curling irons that I have tried. I actually have several of them and they mostly sit in the drawer because it is so time consuming. Sometimes I would just go to my stylist to get it done right. My daughter is always asking me to curl her hair and I do it from time to time but I always wished there was an easier way. Now there actually is. KISS InstaWave has arrived now and essentially has revolutionized hair curling for me. The InstaWave is a fully automatic tangle-free curler that instantly creates beautiful, long-lasting curls with no headaches.


You probably know KISS Products because you have used their nail products, like I have for years. They are the global leader in the nail care industry and have been for a long time. KISS has expanded its line to include a vast array of beauty care products, including hair appliances like the InstaWave. Just like their high quality and innovative nail products, they want to bring amazing, salon quality products to people like you and me at consumer friendly prices. Who can afford to go to the salon all the time for beautifully curled hair? Not me. KISS knows that too.  That is why it is so wonderful that we have at home options like the InstaWave at a great price.


My daughter and I have been having so much fun with this easy to use curling device. It is so easy for me to do I can do it in a few minutes even on a busy morning. I don't need to beg my stylist to squeeze me in because I can style both my hair and her hair perfectly.  I really like how I can instantly create beautiful, long-lasting curls with just the touch of a button with the KISS InstaWave. It is truly a fully automatic tangle-free curler.


I was excited to try out the KISS InstaWave and show everyone a quick how-to tutorial so you all know how simple it is to use. It is really easy to follow the instructions and I was impressed that my hair did not tangle or knot up at all. Kiss InstaWave recommends that you start out with clean, recently washed, dried and untangled hair. Ladies, you need to brush it out first before you even take out your InstaWave. Just brush it out, not a big deal.


I like that it has two different settings, high and low that you can use to help you make tighter or looser curls depending on your desired style. It is good for ladies that are left handed or right handed too...either hand is fine and works with no issues.  I know my friends that are left handed will be thrilled with that because so many tools are a real challenge for lefties.


KISS InstaWave is a fully automatic tangle-free curler that instantly creates beautiful curls on any kind of hair. My hair is thicker and it worked beautifully, my daughter has much more fine hair and it worked beautifully turning out soft curls that made her squeal in happiness. The curl dial works like magic turning the hair and curling it right up with no effort at all once you press the button.  It is easy for anyone to use, from any angle, with any hand...right or left.


Some key features of the KISS KISS InstaWave Automatic Tangle Free Hair Curler:

  • Automatically shuts off after 90 minutes
  • Easy for anyone to use, from any angle, with any hand.
  • Features a Curl Dial with left/right curl directions
  • 2 heat settings with a low/high switch with maximum temperature of 420


It is really easy to use. Watch me use it on my daughter in the video above and you will see how simple it is. Anyone can do it. All you do is hold the InstaWave vertically, place about a 1-inch section of hair on the InstaWave curling rod, then you touch the Curl Dial either left or right, and the InstaWave instantly and automatically catches and curls the hair. It couldn't be more simple. Hold the curl for 5-10 seconds with the InstaWave, hold longer for tighter curls and less for beachy waves. Finally, you gently pull the InstaWave down vertically, letting hair out. Let the hair set for a minute until it is cool. I like to spray the curled hair for best and most long-lasting results.

**Pro Tip: KISS has shared with me that if you alternate between curling right and curling left, this creates the most natural looking curls.  Shhh, we won't tell but friends have to share the best secrets with one another.

    Salted Apple Caramel Hand Pies Easy as 1-2-3 #handpies #apple


    We made some apple hand pies recently and they really were easy. We started with frozen dough from Trader Joes which made it a bunch easier.  It was a fun activity to do together with my daughter and I was surprised that it was pretty quick and fun.

    I chopped up about 7 apples fairly fine and blended them with cinnamon and sugar. I just kept tasting it and when it seemed sweet enough I stopped adding. I think anyone can do that. I always do a little at a time so you don't overdo the cinnamon.'
    Use a clean drinking glass to cut out circles of dough. I placed then on waxed paper in layer and kept them in the refrigerator until we were ready to use them. It makes the dough a lot easier to work with when it is cold. You spoon a teaspoon or two of apples onto a piece of dough, add a small caramel or a half a teaspoon of Trader Joes liquid caramel sauce, a pinch of kosher salt and top it with a second piece of dough. Don't use too much of the apples or it will be hard to close it up. After you put the piece of dough on top use a fork to gently press the tines down all around to seal it.

    See how easy it is? Then once all of them are sealed up in their little hand-pie packages brush the tops with a beaten egg and shake a little sugar on top...I like the bigger clear crystals just to give a little sparkle to them.

    Cut two vertical lines on each pie to let the steam escape while they cook. Don't forget! Bake them at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until they are slightly brown. Enjoy.

This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children.

    Why has no one ever thought of this before? Geez, how many times have I had that late afternoon or even worse...the after dinner cup of espresso only to be up all night! Some of my friends find that the afternoon energy drink gives them what they need to keep going until bedtime...then they have the same problem. Here are two great natural solutions for the eternal problem.  
     
    RUTA Sleep uses the gentle power of fruit-derived Rutaecarpine to speed up the naturally occurring enzymes in your body that break down caffeine. I never realized that your body can take up to 15 hours to break down caffeine completely. You know that feeling when you are all hopped up, tense and overstimulated. RUTA Sleep blends Rutaecarpine with the natural sleep aid Melatonin in a special time-release formula. RUTA Sleep eases the stress of caffeine use and promotes deep, restful sleep.


    • Take two hours before sleep for best results  
      • Only for caffeine consumers.


    You know all those coffee shop visits can leave you feeling jittery after a while but you have to get the work done. You can reduce some of the overstimulation from caffeinated beverages or ther products with RUTA Cleanse. It contains 100 mg of Rutaecarpine, found in the Evodia fruit.  RUTA Cleanse calms and relaxes while actually reducing your body’s caffeine levels. RUTA Cleanse was developed by a father and son pharmacist team to speed up the naturally occurring enzymes in your body that break down caffeine.  RUTA Cleanse helps you feel a decrease in tension and stress within two hours! *


    RutaCleanse contains 100mg of Rutaecarpine from the Evodia fruit. The Evodia fruit is native to China and Korea and has been used for digestion problems and lack of appetite in Traditional Chinese Medicine for many years. Recently data published in the Archives of Pharmacal Research evaluated the effect of oncaffeine. The results suggest that Rutaecarpine increases the metabolism of caffeine in rats. Several other medical sites suggest that Evodia may reduce the efficacy of caffeine. RutaCleanse is a supplement that may speed up the rate at which caffeine is broken down and removed from the body.
