(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)
The Infinitipro Spin Air styler is essentially a large brush with a low-power hair-dryer in its center. In this video, I demonstrate the spinning action and how it works. For chin-length or longer hair, this is probably a five-star product, but the 2-inch brush is simply too large for short hair. If this product had interchangeable brush heads, it would be perfect. I give it 3 stars for short hair, but 5 stars overall for how it works.
UPDATE: I now have a slightly longer hair style. Although my hair is still layered, the longest pieces are chin length, and the style curls under. This styler is EXCELLENT for the length and style, although it takes a long time to dry my hair (I have a lot of it) and occasionally the brush cannot turn well when my hair is still wet. The results, however, are much better than they were with a shorter length. The volume is not as great as with a traditional blow drier, but my hair is smoother and holds its style better using the Infinitipro.

I've never seen the commercial for this product. I had immediate anxiety when I discovered the tip of the styler rotates. I pictured knots, a hair nest, and some pain. I am pleasantly surprised. The more I use this product, the more I love it.
THE BRUSH
The styler has a brush top. I want to warn you that when the brush is in your hair, it's not going to feel like it has enough strength to do the job. The brush felt too soft in my hair. It does do the trick.
THE SETTINGS
There are thee settings: low, high and cool. There are also two buttons that can be pressed with the thumb. One rotates the brush head clockwise and one rotates it counter clockwise. When I had the brush on "cool" the rotate function does not work.
BENEFITS
This product saves the wrists. It takes a two hand task and makes it doable with one hand. The rotating brush really saves time because I don't have to hold a brush in my other hand while drying. The fact that the brush rotates both ways makes it easy to style hair no matter what section of hair I'm working on. No more sore arms or wrists.
My hair is shinier. It looks smoother. When I use this, I don't need to straighten it with a flat iron afterwards.
It's really a great product.
TIPS
Comb your hair out before you start using it. To me this is common sense but I felt the need to add this.
My hair is half way down my back. I don't pre-dry it with a dryer before using this. If anything, it takes 5-10 minutes longer to dry but I save that time by not having to use a straightener after my hair is dry. In essence, it takes the same amount of time it normally does to do my hair and uses 1/3 of the tools.
NOTE: You DON'T need to ever roll your hair around this brush. You use it the same as you would use a round brush during a blowout.
I found that it's easier to use this product on the low setting. The brush rotates slower and it makes it easier to style.
I tried this on my son's short hair. I put a bit of gel on top. Combed through the top of his hair making the brush move towards the back of his head. Instant lift and spikage. Now, he didn't appreciate this experimentation. So we wet the top of his hair and this time brushed with the rotator going toward his face. Instant combed down, flat hair. It was very cool.
During my week long experiment with this tool, I've found a way to make my long hair flip out or curl under. Comb a bit of gel through the ends of your hair. Then place the brush at the bottom of your hair and keep the rotation button pressed, it will continue to roll that part of hair again and again making either a little flip or an undercurl. This works at the bottom only because there is no additional hair that the brush is going to try to roll. The hair continues to tumble.
When using this to straighten hair, start at the root, as soon as the hair is in the brush, press the rotation button and pull the brush down as you would any round brush during styling. It's really that easy. The hardest part is knowing which button makes the brush turn which way. In this instance, the direction that the brush moves will depend on whether or not you've place the brush above or below the section of hair you're drying. If you push the wrong button...the hair will start to come out of the brush. It's trial and error based on how the user is used to blowing out hair.
To add volume, start at the root. Instead of using the rotator, just leave the brush at the root. It would be the same as if you are using a round brush to add volume.
I was surprised at the negative reviews and difficulty others with long hair had. I don't understand why there were problems. If anyone has questions before buying, please feel free to contact me. I think this is a great product, very easy to use and especially kind on the arms and wrists. I would pay to replace this product if it ever broke. I love it that much.

This product worked very well as advertised. It is very good for brushing out long hair while partially drying it. On the plus side, my wife tried to tangle her hair with it, and it simply would not tangle, which is a first! As impressive as that is, there are mote positives. I tried touching the brush while on and found that I was unable to find a way that would result in a burn, so this is very safe to use. There are adjustments for temperature as you would find on any quality hair dryer. Also, the cord is a bit longer than your typical dryer, so you have plenty of room to work.
Now for the drawback, and there really is only one. The airflow is a bit anemic. Perhaps this is the only way it could be done, since more airflow would blow your hair right out of the brush, but the end result is that this will not replace your blow dryer. As I said, I don't think it is really designed to replace anything, so I didn't knock off a star for something it isn't designed to do, but you should be aware before purchasing that this is to style and brush your hair, but not to dry it.
Read Best Reviews of Infiniti Pro by Conair Spin Air Rotating Styler Here
I have very straight, fine, almost shoulder-length hair that I typically style using a round brush and hair dryer, followed by a straightening iron to smooth everything down. I thought this product might help me eliminate some of those pieces, particularly when traveling, and I was also intrigued with the claims of faster drying and the ionizing properties.
What I found:
Pro: Added volume and shininess
Con: Very heavy; unwieldy; not terribly intuitive (for me, anyway)
The Styler is very large and very heavy. Although I have a large blow dryer, this product is even heavier. The real problem, though, is that the handle is extremely large, which makes it hard for me to grasp for any length of time and I have big hands (size 8.5 glove)!
The spin feature is triggered by pressing a button -one button goes clockwise, the other counterclockwise, which would be really handy if you have hair long enough to roll up on this thing. However, I kept using the wrong button and would thus either change an under flip to an over flip, or just ruck up a layer of hair that I was trying to get to lie smoothly.
The product claims to dry hair "faster" but I'm not sure what it is supposed to be faster than. It definitely took longer to dry and style with this than with my traditional methodology. I'm sure some of that is from not being used to it.
I do think my hair looked shinier after using this product, and I think it was easier to add volume at the roots with this product than with my round brush and dryer.
I found the styler to be too big and heavy to want to use, despite some improvement in results over the three-tool method. For travel, it is slightly less bulky than my other tools, but heavier, so I think that benefit cancels out. If they could make this work with a brush the same size but a handle more the size of a traditional curling iron, I'd be interested, but, as it is, it's just too much work.
Want Infiniti Pro by Conair Spin Air Rotating Styler Discount?
I bought this product in a store, not even knowing how it worked. I have almost chin length hair that tends to frizz. First time I used the product, it was a little awkward getting used to which way it rotated, but it did a fabulous job on my hair. I looked like I had just walked out of my stylist's salon. I loved it so much I wanted another one, but the store had sold out. I ordered one on-line and now I have one to keep at home and one for travel. For me, this is a life saver! I have only my right hand to use, because of a brain hemorrhage I had 13 years ago that left my left arm and hand useless. Finally, I can have well styled hair done by myself, using just one hand.

I bought this flat iron back in 2005 and just yesterday had to throw it in the trash. :( The only reason it had to be thrown away is because the wires pulled out from the end of it. But after 5 years of use and to have that be the reason it stops working, I think, is pretty amazing. Every other flat iron I've had has had the ceramic plates go out. I am so satisfied with this flat iron that I bought this same exact one just yesterday! I look forward to another many years using it! I would recommend this to anyone! It's the perfect size (1-inch plates) for long hair, short hair, thick hair, thin hair... whatever you have. It has many heat settings and doesn't fry your hair. I've always used it on the highest setting and it's never ruined or fried my hair. It makes my hair shiny and pretty.
