Our verdict

An automatic alternative worth trying for anyone who finds manual curling irons awkward to hold or aim, thanks to the self-rotating dial that keeps hands off the hot barrel.

Overview

The Kiss Instawave Deluxe is a self-rotating automatic curling iron: hair is fed into a curl dial with comb-like ridges and the barrel rotates on its own to wrap and curl it, so hands stay away from the hot barrel throughout.

This is built around the automation rather than barrel size or heat range, aimed squarely at people who find manual clamp irons or wands hard to use on themselves. The 2-way rotation and comb ridges are meant to detangle as they curl, which is the main functional difference from the manual irons and wands elsewhere in this line.

  • 2-way self-rotating automatic curling dial
  • Ceramic ionic 1 inch barrel
  • Comb-like ridges detangle while curling
  • Dual heat settings up to 420 degrees F with 90 minute auto shutoff

Who it's for

Best for anyone who has struggled to angle a manual iron on their own hair, especially at the back of the head, or who wants a curling tool that keeps fingers away from the heated barrel. Less useful for anyone who wants full manual control over curl tightness and direction.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Self-rotating dial curls hair without hands near the hot barrel
  • Comb-like ridges detangle hair as it curls
  • Two heat settings up to 420 degrees F
  • 90 minute auto shutoff for safety
Cons
  • Automatic rotation gives less direct control over curl placement than a manual iron
  • Only two heat settings versus the 5 or more on manual irons in this category

Performance notes

Hair is inserted into the curl dial, which grips it with comb-like ridges, detangles it, and rotates it around the internal ceramic ionic barrel automatically in either direction. Two heat settings run up to 420 degrees F, and a 90 minute auto shutoff is built in since the iron is not being held in the hand the way a manual model is.
