Styling your hair

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 ngertips. 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.
Step 2: drying your hair
To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for
straightening. Dry you hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a
professional, smooth nish.
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 nished drying each section, set the hairdryer to
the cold setting for a nal cold shot. This closes the cuticles and
leaves your hair glossier.
Note:Tip: Philips Protect hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a
stronger airow 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.
If you use the straightener incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong
temperature, you could overdry your hair or even burn it.Always
follow the four steps below to select the right temperature for you
hair type! (Fig. 2)

Always select a low heat setting when you start using the straightener
for the rst time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, selected a medium
(120 cC) to high heat setting (160 cC).
For ne, medium-textured or soft waved hair, select a medium
(120 cC) to low heat setting (100 cC)
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair,
since it will be susceptible to damage at high temperatures.
The display shows the selected temperature and the remaining
time of the straightening session.
Look at the display to see the temperature you have selected.

5 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth.
(Fig. 3)
Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in
one section.
Note: 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 5 cm. 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. 4)
8 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the
desired look.
9 Allow 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.
Reducing frizz and static electricity
The ioniser inside the hairstyler generates streams of ions that surround
and condition your hair. Ions reduce frizz and static electricity and leave
your hair looking soft, smooth and shiny.
The ioniser starts working as soon as the appliance is switched on.
Cleaning
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2 Let the appliance cool down completely on a heat-resistant surface.
3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.
