Preparing for use
Washing your hair
Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine
can help to achieve this.
1When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for
30-60 seconds.
2Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it
between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.
3Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or
pull long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
4Massage your scalp with your fingertips.This stimulates blood
circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.
5Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.
Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

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 finish.
1After 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.
2Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the back.
3Dry 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.
4When 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 Salon Pro 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.
Using the appliance
Straightening your hair
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and should 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 steps below:
1Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2Set the the on/off switch to I.
The power-on light goes on.
The plates heat up rapidly and will be ready for use within seconds.

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.
3Select the preferred temperature setting by turning the
adjustment knob to the preferred position (1 to 25) (fig. 2).
4Comb 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.
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 approximately 3-4 cm wide. Place it
between the straightening plates and press the handles of the
appliance firmly together.
6Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in a few
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.
Cleaning
1Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2Let the appliance cool down completely on a heat-resistant
surface.
3Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.
