Introduction
The new Philips SalonStraight DUO is specially designed to give you
perfect straight results and to prevent hair damage at the same time.
That’s because this straightener has two sets of plates next to each other,
which give the hair a dual treatment in one single stroke. First, the ceramic
straightening plates with professional styling temperatures glide over the
hair to give perfect results. Immediately after that, the white marble
protection plates softly glide over the hair to neutralise damaging excess
heat within seconds.

Electromagnetic elds (EMF)
This Philips appliance complies with all standards regarding
electromagnetic elds (EMF). If handled properly and according to the
instructions in this user manual, the appliance is safe to use based on
scientic evidence available today.
Preparing for use
Washing
The straightener gives the best results on well-washed hair.We advise you
to follow the washing tips below:
1 Wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.
2 Pour some 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.
5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.
Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.
Drying
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.
1 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.
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.

thecoolsettingforanalcoolshot.Thisclosesthecuticlesand
adds shine to the hair.
Note: Philips SalonPro 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.
Using the appliance
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.
Straightening
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with
care.
Always follow the instructions below to select the right heat setting for
your hair type:
Always select a low heat setting when you use the straightener for
the rst time.
For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a heat setting
between 13 and 25 (155°C-210°C).
For ne, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a heat setting
between 1 and 12 (115°C-150°C).
1 Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2 Set the on/off switch to ‘on’.

4 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.
Tip: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair
underneath rst, followed by the top area.
5 Takeasectionthatisapproximately3-4cmwide.
6 Hold the straightener in such a way that the marble protection
plates point upward and the hot straightening plates point
downwards (Fig. 4).
Look at the symbol on the appliance. (Fig. 5)
If the hot straightening plates point in the wrong direction, turn the
appliance around.When you slide the straightener down the hair, the hot
straightening plates must touch the hair before the marble protection
plates.
7 Pressthehandlesoftheappliancermlytogether.
8 Slide the straightener down the lock of hair in 5 seconds, from root
to hair end, without stopping (Fig. 6).
9 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the
desired look.
10 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.
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.
Storage
Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.
