humidity and static for frizz-free shine.

preventing static, stickiness, and build-up of mousse gels, and hair sprays for
smooth, shiny results −every time.
Ceramic: Ceramic protects against damaging hot spots with high, even heat to
lock in moisture and create long-lasting styles.
Ionic conditioning: Negative ions are created, neutralizing positive ions to reduce
static and frizz, leaving your hair looking shiny and healthy.

to use the styler for another 60 minutes. If no button is pressed, the unit will turn
itself off when the LCD stops blinking.

Usage Tips
NOTE: Please see "Wet/Dry Setting" to the left.
Straightening Your Hair
1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with a towel, as
this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.
2. Plug the straightener into an electrical outlet. Press and hold the on/off button
until the unit turns on and the digital display begins flashing.
3. The straightener will initially heat to setting 15. Adjust the temperature using the +/-
buttons. The bars on the display will flash while the unit heats up, then glow steadily
when the unit has reached the selected temperature. The styler will beep three times
when it is ready for use.
4. Divide hair into manageable sections and clip the upper layers on top of your head
and out of the way. Work with underneath layers first.
5. Test the styler on a small section of hair, then adjust the temperature up or
down before styling the rest of your hair.
NOTE:
■ If you find that you need a higher setting while straightening your hair, simply
adjust the temperature by pressing the "+" button. The unit will beep when it
reaches the new temperature.
■ While straightening your hair, if you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the
temperature by pressing the "-" button.
6. Take a small section of hair and comb through it with a fine-toothed comb. Pull
hair down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.
7. Hold the straightener with the display and steam vents facing away from
your scalp. Starting at the roots, clamp hair firmly between the plates and run
the styler down the entire hair strand, from root to tip, in one smooth stroke. Do
not hold it in one area for a long period of time or damage to hair may occur.
8. To speed up drying at the roots, you may wish to run the styler over the first few
inches of hair nearest the root several times. Repeatedly run the unit smoothly
down the entire strand until hair is fully dried. (NOTE: The unit may make a
steaming/hissing noise when used on damp hair. This is okay! The unique
design of this styler will channel the moisture away from hair and out the
steam vents.)
9. Repeat with all sections of your hair, working with the underneath layers first,
then the top and sides, until hair is fully dried.
10.When you are finished styling, press and hold the on/off button to turn the unit
off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before storing.
