Beautiful Hair

I am one who watches tv very often, one thing about tv that intrigues me is infomercials. Their layout is always the same. They over exaggerate a daily task and make it look much more difficult than it really is and then they introduce this magical product that will make this "difficult" daily task much more easy. I usually never fall for these infomercials, I laugh at them and enjoy how ridiculous they can be. But one day there was an infomercial for a product called the Instyler. This product is a hair straightener and a hair curler. It was advertised as an easy innovative way to not only straighten or curl your hair but the way this product was designed was supposed to keep your hair from getting heat damage and make it soft and shiny in half the amount of time it would take a regular hair straightener or curler. How amazing!

As a girl who spends sometimes an hour styling my hair I was immediately intrigued. My hair suffered from years of heat damage and I thought this product was the perfect solution, so I bought it, a decision I now regret. In the infomercials there was a person who was seen styling someones hair with the innovative Instyler, it looked so simple and easy. But when I got my Instyler and turned it on, the first thing I noticed was it made a terribly loud buzzing sound, a sound that was absent from all the commercials I had seen. But I thought, well if it works the way the commercial says I guess the noise isn't too bad. I gathered a piece of my hair and ran it through the Instyler,  much to my disappointment this product no where near reached the outcome I had watched over and over on those infomercials. My hair was not suddenly straightened, shiny or soft. This was the worst styling product I have ever experienced.

When I first saw these infomercials it made me feel like this product would simplify my life, beautify my hair, and be a solution to my hair problems. The commercial had made me feel like I needed this product and my life would be much better with it. The design of this product seemed so innovative, it looked like no other styling product I had seen before. I fell for the advertisement of this product, but now the amazing Instyler sits in my drawer never to be used again.
