that colouring hair, bleaching & environmental elements can cause over
time. Not only can you take your hair from damp, to dry & silky smooth
or curled in no time thanks to the wet & dry technology, but you can

CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY
Ceramic Technology helps keep your hair looking healthy & shiny
by maintaining even heat during the curling process. Static is
reduced by quickly sealing the hair cuticle layer ensuring minimal
frizz making your hair easier to manage.
ADVANCED PLASMA
CONDITIONING IONS
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact
with man-made fibers & air pollution add to the build-up of static
electricity in your hair. Even simply brushing & towel-drying your
hair can increase these levels. This static charge causes the scales,
or cuticles of the hair, to push hair strands apart, resulting in a rough
hair surface. Consequently, your hair may have a dull appearance.
High levels of static charge cause your hair to become ‘flyaway’ &
dicult to style.
Advanced Plasma Conditioning Ion technology is designed with a
unique air attraction system that creates millions of supercharged
Plasma Ions that when released into the hair creates a microscopic
water molecule coating, wrapping each hair cuticle, boosting &
sealing the hydration level & reducing the transpiration of moisture
that colouring hair, bleaching & environmental elements can cause
over time. The Plasma Conditioning Ions bring an equilibrium to
your hair, hydrating & replenishing each hair cuticle for an overall
conditioning eect, so that hair feels healthier, glossier, smoother &
frizz-free after consistent use.
NOTE: Turning on the styler will automatically activate the Advanced
Plasma Conditioning Ions. Any noise generated from the ion ports is
normal.

WET & DRY TECHNOLOGY
You can use this styler on dry hair, as you would a regular one, & with
Wet & Dry Technology it also allows you to use it on hair that’s still
damp. Little outlets on the top of the barrel, channel excess water
out through the vents in the housing letting you skip the dryer! When
used on damp hair you may hear a hissing sound & some steam
may appear. This is normal - it’s the excess water from your hair
evaporating as it dries.
CAUTION:
Steam evaporating through the vents will be hot. During use, avoid
touching or blocking the vents & direct vents away from your face
& scalp.

HOW TO STYLE WITH
THE HYDRO SMOOTH
STRAIGHT & CURL
STRAIGHTEN
Start with clean & dry or clean & damp, thoroughly combed through
hair. Apply a heat spray for extra protection & longer lasting results.
Straighten your hair in sections ensuring you go over each section
once to get that gorgeous, silky finish. If you are needing to go over
the section more than once, creating thinner sections will help create
straight hair in the first glide.
VOLUME
Create volume by making a curved movement with your wrist as you
glide the straightener down the hair section.
TIGHT BOUNCY CURLS
For a sleek, glamorous look; Roll less hair in sections, in the same
direction.
FREE-FLOWING CURLS
For a more voluminous look; Roll more hair in sections, alternating
from wrapping sections of hair under & over the curling tong so that
the curls bounce o each other.

HYDRO SMOOTH STRAIGHT & CURL
16
FLIPS & WAVES
To add flips & waves, secure ends in between plates & wrap hair around
the outer housing. It’s an easy way to add shape to straight styles. Turn
your wrist up or under to create flips, add curl or more body.
EXPERT TIP
Set your style with a spritz of light hold hair spray, for extra hold if
needed.
