Using the appliance
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 make sure you
select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type.
Straightening
1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
2 Set the on/off switch to ‘I’.
The blue power-on light goes on.
Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.Always put
the appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it is heating up and
when it is hot.
3 Turn the temperature wheel to select the required temperature
setting. Select a temperature setting that is suitable for your
hair. (Fig. 2)
Always select a low setting when you use the straightener for the rst
time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a medium to high
setting.
For ne, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a medium to
low setting.
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since
it is susceptible to damage at high temperatures.

6 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.

underneath rst, followed by the top area.
7 Take a section that is not wider than 5cm. Place it between the
straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance rmly
together.
8 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds,
from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent
overheating (Fig. 4).

desired look.

cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.
