Styling your hair
Step 1: washing your hair
Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine
can help to achieve this.
◗When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60
seconds.
◗Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it
between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.
◗Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or
pull long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
◗Massage your scalp with your fingertips.This stimulates blood
circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.
◗Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.
Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.
ENGLISH 7

Step 2: drying your hair
To get super-smooth results, it is Initialto prepare your hair for
straightening. Dry you hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a
professional, smooth finish.
◗After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your
hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle hair
gently from the roots to the tips.
◗Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the
back.
◗Dry each section by pulling a straightening brush down the hair
length while following the brush with the hairdryer, with its
nozzle pointing towards the hair ends.
◗When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to
the cold setting for a final cold shot.This closes the cuticles and
leaves your hair glossier.
BTip: Philips Protect hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a
stronger airflow than regular dryers.Thanks to this combination, they dry
just as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way.
Step 3: straightening your hair
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and should always be used with
care.
1Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2The 'power on' pilot light goes on (fig. 2).
3Let the appliance heat up for 2-3 minutes.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.
Never put the appliance on a surface that is not heat-resistant when
it is heating up and when it is hot.
4Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth
(fig. 3).
ENGLISH8

Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair
in one section.
BTip: it is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair
underneath first.Then straighten the top area.
5Take a section that is not wider than 5 cm. Place it between the
straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly
together.
6Slide the straightener down the length of the hair for 5 seconds,
from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating
(fig. 4).
7Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the
desired look.
8Allow your hair to cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it
has cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just
created.

the section 'Straightening your hair', but turn the appliance
inwards once you reach the hair ends (fig. 5).
2Hold the appliance in this position for a few seconds and then
