Here are some reasons why you might smell burning:
* Too much heat: If you use the highest heat setting on the InStyler and leave it on your hair for too long, it can burn your hair.
* Dirty plates: Over time, hair products and oils can build up on the heated plates of the InStyler. This can lead to burning when the plates come in contact with your hair.
* Hair product buildup: Using too much hair product, especially thick creams or sprays, can cause burning when the product is exposed to the heat of the InStyler.
Here are some tips to avoid burning your hair with the InStyler:
* Start with a lower heat setting. You can always increase the heat if needed.
* Don't leave the InStyler on your hair for too long. Move it continuously through your hair.
* Clean the plates of the InStyler regularly. Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution.
* Don't use too much hair product. Apply product to your hair before styling, and avoid using too much.
If you are still experiencing burning, it's best to consult with a hairstylist or a professional. They can help you determine the cause of the burning and recommend ways to prevent it from happening again.
