Keep the straightening plates clean and free of dust, dirt and styling
products such as mousse, spray and gel. Dust, dirt and styling products
may cause damage to the nano-silver ceramic-coated straightening
plates.
The plates have a nano-silver ceramic coating. This coating slowly wears
away over time. This does not affect the performance of the appliance.
If you use the appliance on colour-treated hair, the straightening plates
may stain.

Preparing for use
Washing your hair
Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine can
help to achieve this.
1 Wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.
2 Pour some TRESemmé shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it
between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.
3 Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull
up long hair onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
4 Massage your scalp with your ngertips. This stimulates blood
circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.

ENGLISH 5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.
Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.
Note:After shampooing, use TRESemmé remoisturising conditioner to detangle
the hair and improve its condition.
Drying your hair
To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for
straightening. Dry your hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a
professional, smooth nish.
1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands
and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle the hair gently
from the roots to the tips.
2 Divide the hair into sections using clips. Start at the back.
3 To dry each section, pull a straightening brush down the hair length.
Follow the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing towards
the hair ends.
4 When you have nished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the
cool setting for a nal cool shot. This closes the cuticles and adds
shine to the hair.
Using the appliance
Straightening your hair
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care.
As with all straighteners that reach salon-high temperatures, do not use the
appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair.
If you use the straightener incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong
temperature setting, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.
Always follow the following steps:
1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
2 Turn the on/off switch.
The power-on light goes on.
3 Let the appliance heat up.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.Always put
the appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it heats up and when it is
hot.
4 Turn the adjustment knob to the preferred temperature setting
(1 to 25) (Fig. 1).
5 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth
(Fig. 2).
Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in
one section.
Note:Tip: it is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair
underneath rst. Then straighten the top area.
6 Take a section that is not wider than 5cm. Place it between the
straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance rmly
together.
7 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds, from
root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating (Fig. 3).
8 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the
desired look.
9 Let your hair cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it has
cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.

2 Let the appliance cool down completely on a heat-resistant surface.
3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.
Storage
Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.
