DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE
The Curl Secret® is a dierent type of styling tool & works dierently
to any other curling stylers you may have used in the past. So before
you start using it, familiarize yourself with the right size hair section
depending on your length.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the curl any closer than 2cm to 4cm from
the scalp, depending on how long your hair length is.
Comb through to remove any tangles & divide hair into sections no
wider than 2.5cm (the smaller the section, the tighter the curls).
The short & long hair slots should help you to determine the
optimum hair section. DO NOT try to jam larger sections into the
hair slots, as this is improper use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry & free from hairspray.
Hairspray may cause the hair to heat up to astronomical
temperatures & stick like glue, in-turn creating diculty to
remove hair from the styler.
1. IMPORTANT - You must section your hair & comb through until
its completely tangle-free before use.
The secret to nailing your look is to create 3 sections.
This will ensure your style always looks consistent.
a) Use a comb or fingers & create the top section, from temple to
temple and clip away on top of the head with a sectioning clip.
b) Create the middle section from ear to ear & clip away with a
sectioning clip.
c) The hair left down is your bottom section.
d) Always start with the bottom section first & once completely
styled as desired, unclip the middle section, style & then
unclip the top section. When using the Curl Secret®
you will need to divide the hair into smaller sections.
Refer to DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for
more detail.
For more information on sectioning hair go to vssassoon.com.au.
2. Plug your Curl Secret® into a suitable plug adapter (refer to
chart), connect to a household outlet (120-240V) & place on a
heat protective, flat level surface.
3. Switch on the styler by pressing & holding the power
button for approximately
1 second. The styler & LED display will
turn on, while the default heat setting will
start flashing.
4. Select your desired temperature, curl
type, & curl direction settings. (Fig. 1
and2) Fig. 1 Fig. 2

CURL SECRET® CERAMIC AUTO CURLER

5. Hold the styler vertically/upright with the short slot
opening facing towards your head.
6. Place a section of hair in the short slot opening at the
top of the unit making sure that all the hair is placed
inside the top of the split barrel. (Fig. 3)
7. Guide the remaining section of hair down the long
slot until it’s below the *symbol & gently hold in
place to ensure proper position for curling. Make sure
100% of the hair section is aligned along the slot and
that there are no fray hair strands.
IMPORTANT - Your hair may become tangled if these
instructions are not followed or if any hair is held
loosely & falls away without 100% of it entering the curl
chamber at the same time.
8. Press the START button & watch the magic happen
as your hair gently wraps around the barrel. (Fig. 4)
9. Hold the curler in place until you hear the rapid
beeps. (Fig. 5)
10. Pull the curler down & away to reveal the curl. (Fig.6)
11. Allow your hair to cool before handling or combing.
12. Repeat all desired sections until you have the number
of curls you would like. Use light hair spray to set the
curls and maximize curl longevity.
13. After use, turn the styler o by pressing & holding
the power button for approximately 1 second.
Allow to cool before storing away..
