THE TITANIUM EASY-GLIDE STYLER
The Unbound™styler has a titanium easy-glide surface. This is the newest technology. It not only
makes it simpler to clean off styling product residue, etc., after each use, but you’ll find that hair glides
easily over the surface of the heating plates. The titanium surface also helps smooth down flyaways
and frizzies for added shine.
The styler evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth,
shiny finish.
Titanium technology makes styling hair easier, and gives you professional results.

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
Hair should be clean and completely dry before using the multi-styler. For best results,
use a light styling product before blow-drying hair.
1. Set the appliance to straight mode.
2. Start with a hair section that is 1½ inches wide and no more than ½ inch thick.
3. Open the iron and place the hair section between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair
between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together.
4. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the ends.
5. At the ends, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair to slide out.
Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hairstyle you desire. It may be
necessary to repeat process on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair.

Some experience is necessary when learning to use this multi-styler. After using the iron several times,
you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair.
TO CURL HAIR
Ensure hair is dry and combed through.
1. Set the appliance to curl mode.
2. Lock plates closed.
3. Take a 1-inch wide section of hair, starting 2 inches from the scalp. Ensure the end
of the appliance is pointing down toward the shoulder.
4. Wind the section of hair around the barrel toward the cool tip.
5. Hold the ends of the hair in place at the cool tip for 5 to 8 seconds, depending on hair
type, and then release. For tighter, bouncier curls, roll less hair. For loose, free-flowing
curls, roll more hair.

6. To set the curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.
Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hairstyle you desire. Some experience
is necessary when learning to use this multi-styler. After using it several times, you will
learn the ideal way to curl your hair.
STYLE TIPS
• On a low setting, use the outer barrel to smooth flyaways.
• To add flips and waves, secure ends in between plates and wrap hair around the
outer housing. It’s an easy way to add shape to straight styles. Turn your wrist up
or under to create flips, add curl or more body.

TIPS
Before using, fully charge the product to get the best performance.
Before preparing to store your styler for a long time, fully charge it. Always be sure to charge it at least
once every 3 months to keep the styler in the best condition.
During use, if the charge indicator light is blinking, it means the iron needs to be charged. If you
continue to use iron, it will automatically shut off after approximately 5 minutes. If you have not finished
styling your hair, simply turn the unit back on.
The charge indicator light will blink when charging.
When the iron is fully charged and the charger is still connected, the charge indicator light will remain
solid.
