Kmart shoppers' warning over popular $35 hair styling product: 'Nearly caught fire'

A Kmart shopper has given a dire warning about a $35 hair product after it was posted in a Kmart fans' Facebook group. One customer was looking for recommendations on the hair styling tool and may have left more confused about whether they wanted to buy it or not after being met with mixed reviews.

The 5-in-1 hair styler is priced at $35 and boasts of giving "salon-style perfect hair" in the comfort of your own home, and comes with four attachments: the main unit, a dryer head, a round brush head, flat brush head, and straightening head.

Over on the Kmart site, the company has said the product has been tested to applicable Australian electrical safety standards, but some Kmart shoppers have expressed concern after using the product themselves.

Kmart shoppers' mixed reviews on hair styling product

While the product does have a 5-star rating on the Kmart website, some shoppers have expressed concerns after a member of the Facebook group asked if anyone had tried the hair styler out.

"Terrible, mine nearly caught fire lol," one person said. "Yes, my hair gets caught in it and it rips your hair out," someone else commented.

"I like it! But it does overheat fast!" another person warned.

Others however raved about the product, saying it did a great job for the cheap price. "Love mine, one of the best $35 I’ve ever spent and that’s on me having thick frizzy hair," someone said. "Love mine! It does a great job for the price," another agreed. "It’s a time-efficient tool for me with busy mornings before work."

"Quick, easy to use, and would highly recommend," someone said on the Kmart website. "Hoping they make the curler attachments for this version."

Over on TikTok, people have shared their reviews of the product also, after it was originally released last year, with one girl warning the "actual tools get very hot".

"I returned it straight away," one person commented on someone's TikTok trialling the styler. "It's not you its just a sh*t product."

"Can’t say I’m impressed… the fact of how hot it got was a big no," another person stated.
