Styling your hair
Step 1: washing your hair
Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine
can 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 fingertips.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 finish.
◗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 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 Protect 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.

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 first time.
- For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, selected a medium
(120cC) to high heat setting (160cC).
- For fine, medium-textured or softy waved hair, select a medium
(120cC) to low heat setting (100cC)
- 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.
- The bars on the display show the remaining usage time of the
straightener.The total usage time is 60 minutes. Every ten minutes
one of the six bars will disappear.
1Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2Press the on/off button.
The pilot light burns red to indicate that the straightener is heating up.
Ions are generated as soon as the straightener is switched on and and
are released through the ion output holes.
3Let the appliance heat up.The default heat setting is 100ºC.
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.
ENGLISH 9

4When the pilot light turns green the default temperature of
100cC has been reached.When the appliance has reached this
temperature, you can adjust the temperature to your preference
(fig. 2).
- Press the + button to increase the temperature or press the -
button to decrease the temperature.The display tells you which
temperature you have selected.The pilot light turns red to indicate
that the appliance is adjusting the temperature.
- The pilot light turns green when the selected temperature has been
reached.
5Comb 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.
6Take a section that is not wider than 5 cm. Place it between the
straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly
together.
7Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds,
from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating
(fig. 4).
8Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the
desired look.
9Allow 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 (fig. 5).
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.
