ready light will glow.
3. Divide hair into manageable sec-
tions and clip the upper layers on
top of your head and out of the
way. Work with underneath layers
first.
4. Test the styler on a small section
of hair before styling the
rest of your hair.
5. Take a small section of hair and
pull hair down and away from your
scalp, and hold it taut.
6. 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.
7. Repeat with all sections of your
hair, working with the underneath
layers first, then the top and sides.
8. When you are finished styling,
slide the ON/OFF switch to turn the
unit off, unplug it, and allow it to
