TYME Style Iron is it worth the splurge?!

17th January 2017

 

 

If you have Facebook then I’m sure you would have seen this Hair iron all over your Facebook feed, I Know I did which is what made me intrigued to try this. All my friends and family were tagging me in the TYME page videos, (they know I love curling my hair so much) and the videos made this iron look so easy to use and the finished results were amazing!! we all know a lot of these videos make things look easy but actually aren’t when it comes to trying them out ourselves.

I was lucky enough to get sent this to review but I was actually going to buy it myself I was that impressed with the reviews and videos I had seen, so as always my review will be completely honest.

The TYME Style Iron

 What is the TYME iron?! Well Not only is this iron so stylish and so blogger I might add, it’s also really smart, I havent seen a hair tool like it! The good thing about this is it’s not just a curling iron but it can also be used to straighten hair as well, the perfect all in one tool, some of you might think you can do that with any hair straightener but I personally think this gives nicer curls which last longer than any straightener I’ve used, but more on that later. 🙂

You will notice that this iron has an unsual shape to any other iron and that’s because each side creates different styles, the brown guideline side curls and the flat side straightens hair, it might sound a little confusing but I promise as soon as you hold these in your hand you will pick it up straight away.

The iron is a set temperature of 204 Celsius / 400 Fahrenheit

Gold plated titanium plates

Rotating Swirl cord with UK plug!

Comes with thick heat protective sleeve.

 

I’m going to try to explain the best I can,  I know It would be so much easier to show a Video. One of my goals this year is to start youtube I need to get over my fears and just do it but in the meantime I hope this post is enough to get across how great this iron really is.

How to use

Because of the shape and the guidelines I would recommend having a play around with them before hand, just to get a feel of how to hold them.

If you’re right handed I don’t think you will have any issues with these as the instructions and videos are really simple and easy to follow,  but because I’m left handed it took me a little while to master them as I have to hold them slighty differently. Just remember if you’re curling your hair the brown guidelines always have to be closer to your scalp, which should mean the TYME iron logo is facing the mirror, you then have to slighty twist or rotate and glide the iron towards the mirror, while gliding them through the hair with light pressure (no need to pull or tug at the hair ) just let the iron glide if you have thin hair glide faster, if your hair is thicker glide slower and you should have a perfect curl. If you’re right-handed your thumb position should be behind the on button.

If you’re left handed like me I’ve found that holding the iron in my left hand completely vertical with the TYME iron logo facing the mirror and then I always rotate outwards and away from my head, which gives me the best results and I do this on both sides, I find keeping them vertical works best for me although some videos I’ve seen others like to hold them at an angle, to be honest I say whatever works for you. I don’t think you have to do exactly what the instructions say, Play around and see what works best for you. I think how much you twist or rotate the iron and also the angle you hold the iron at will determine what results you get.  (If you go onto the TYME website there is so many helpful videos all about using this iron)

what I love is the fact TYME offer a free TYME STYLE session which is a live skype or facetime session with one of the TYME stylists, which is such a fantastic idea, it really shows they want people to love and understand their product. I actually had one booked myself but something come up so we had to cancel last minute but the girls I have been speaking to are so helpful with any issues I’ve had I can’t fault the customer service.

It only took me a couple of attempts to get to grips with it but now I have it’s completely easy and I’ve got to say super fast, it really does save me loads of tyme! (see what I did there?)  I would spend at least 30/40 mins curling all my hair in the morning but now it only takes be about 15 minites if not less. Which is great as sometimes I am really rushing around but want to still curl my hair.

I absolutely love the curls and waves it gives me and they last all day! I actually find my curls are lasting even when I’m sleeping with my hair down which never happens with any other iron I’ve used.

How I’m holding the iron in the first picture is how I use them, I always hold them vertical and then glide outwards towards the mirror.

Each time I’ve used them I have got different end results and that’s because of the angle or how much im rotating the iron, its definitely worth playing around and seeing all the different styles you can create with it, whats even better is its great for all hair types and length.

Here is another picture I took on a different day, again my curls look slighty different, (excuse my hair it needed toning)

Final Verdict

The Pros

All In one tool

perfect for travel

stylish design

travel heat sleeve included

Easy to use

free Tyme stylish session

great customer service

Quick results

Gold plated titanium plates

Swirl cord

30 day free returns

great for all hair types

The Cons

No heat dial or setting

Guidelines

I definitely have more pros than cons, but I will give more details on why I’ve said these are cons.

The iron has a set Temp of 204c which I find a little bit too hot for me personally, I think having a temperature control dial is a must on any heat styling tool, although I have thick hair mine is very dry at the ends as I bleach it so I would like the option to control the temperature as I would use it at about 180c at least. But TYME do explain on their website why the iron has a set temperature but I still would love to see a Temp control in the future.

Also the reason I’ve said guidelines is because mine have already started to rub off which I’m a bit gutted about as I’ve used them about 7 times and I always place the iron down on the guidelines which you’re supposed to do. I know its not the end of the world but I think they can be improved a little so they don’t rub off so easy.

But overall I am really impressed with these and I have been using them nonstop, if you follow me on social media you will know I’ve been talking about these a lot. So yes I would definitely say this is worth the money when you think of how much other heat styling tools cost.

These Can be purchased from the TYME website  here 

priced at  £184.50 with free delivery

    I absolutely love the tousled hair look and these look like they make it so easy! They do have a pretty hefty price tag attached so would have to be a considered purchase for me but they definitely look worth it especially of theyre saving you so much time in the morning. Great review xx

      They are really good and so much quick to use but like you said a little pricey to just go out and buy. But then got to think how much ghds and other brand cost. Thanks Hun xo

    Your hair looks amazing – mine just doesn’t want to hold any kind of curl for some reason! My hairdresser struggles to do it so I’ve got no chance!!

    Interesting! So one side is flat and the other has a curved side so after you heat it up you can curl it and hold it? Do you have to hold it upside down on one side? I love things that do more than one thing – saves space!

      19th January 2017 at 9:52 pm

      Yeah exactly so one side has a curved side and the other flat and you put the curved side closest to your scalp for curls and then use it the other way for straight hair it’s really easy. It depends if you’re right or left handed on how you hold it but it’s what works best for you 🙂

    I purchase this on Facebook in early November and it never came. When I contacted them by email they never replied. I clicked the link to track my order and it no longer works. I think this is a scam and I would advise anyone else not to get caught out like I did.

      I would keep contacting them until you hear back and on their Social media, that’s odd. Like I said I had no issues with them and spoke to them A lot over email.

I got Elliott’s old ones from America and I just hadn’t seen anything I really loved until I came across @popandtedthreads and I fell in love with their whole range, especially the made to order personalised ones where you can pick your own fabric, trim and hardware colours.  Of course I just had to have this monochrome Dalmatian print fabric😍🤩 I can’t believe they’re completely hand made, I’m so impressed with the quality and finish.  You can tell a lot of hard work and love goes into these so thank you @popandtedthreads my little pups are going to love their new stuff for Christmas and will look so cute!! Thought I would share incase anyone else was looking for really unique dog accessories 🖤
I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath I really wanted to change up this Christmas Wreath this year and add some bits to it but I just haven’t had the time, not even put up half of my Christmas decorations that I wanted to. 😭 So I just added some more snow and glitter to this and have made do 🙈 honesty where has this year and month gone...it’s flown by and I’m not ready for Christmas in the slightest, got to finish my shopping tomorrow and wrap everything, do the food shop and have a good clean up in the house!

Another job ticked off the list and one step close Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻

So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨

I love me some gold and spotty print office statio I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense.

Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pamp Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
