USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Start With Good Hair Maintenance:
• Always keep your hair clean and properly
conditioned. Hair is only as healthy looking
as the care it gets. The cut is important,
but proper care is crucial.
• For best results, wash, comb and dry
hair until just damp to touch-although the
appliance can be used for touch ups at
any time.
1. Fully unwind the mains cable.
2. Plug the straightener into the mains
socket and switch on the product.
3. Wait for 1 -2 minutes to allow the
appliance to reach its working
temperature.
4. Divide hair into manageable sections and
clip the upper layers on top of your head
and out of the way. Work with underneath
layer rst.
5. Take a small section of hair and pull hair
down and away from your scalp and hold
it taut.
6. Starting with the roots, clamp hair
rmly between the plates and run the
straightener down the entire hair strand,
from root to tip, in one smooth stroke. Do
not hold it in one area for a long period of
time.
7. Repeat with all the sections of your hair.
8. When you are nishing styling, slide the
on/o switch to turn the unit o, unplug
the unit and allow it to completely cool
down before cleaning or storing.
Last Minute Curls:
• Starting part way down the hair, take a
section and wrap it round the ceramic
straightening plate.
• Close the plates together and hold
for a few seconds before pulling the
straighteners away to reveal a curl.
• The longer you hold the hair in the
straightener, the more dened the curl will
be.
• Once you’ve curled your hair all over, run
your ngers through the curls if you want
them to look more natural.
• Set with salt spray for textured look, or
hair spray for curls that last all night.
Sectioning:
There are many ways to section hair.
1. To begin, take the top layer of hair and pull
it into a messy bun on top of the head.
2. Take the next layer and tie it up just
underneath the rst bun - This should
leave the bottom layer loose and down.
3. Part the hair over the shoulders and now
you are ready to straighten.
4. When the bottom layer is straightened,
release the next section and straighten.
5. Continue until all hair is loose and
straightened as desired.
Note: Depending on the style and thickness of
the hair, you may have to section o multiple
upper layers.
