GETTING STARTED:
CHARGING
The Curl Secret® Cordless is so easy to use. But before you start
using your new styler you must take the time to CHARGE FULLY
OVERNIGHT BEFORE FIRST USE.
1. Before use, plug the USB-C end of the charging cable into the
charging port on the bottom of the styler. Then plug the USB
cable into the USB port of the adaptor.
2. Plug your adaptor into a suitable household power outlet (100-
240V - refer to WORLDWIDE VOLTAGE) & place on a heat
protective, flat level surface.
3. Charge fully overnight before first use. The battery LED indicator
will flash when charging. Once LED indicator turns solid, the styler
is fully charged and ready to use.
NOTE - When the styler is charging, other functions are disabled. It
is designed for cordless use only.
NOTE - The styler may become a little warm when charging or
during use. This is normal.
CORDLESS USE - After the first overnight charge, the styler will
take approximately 2.5 hours to fully charge before each use. This
can provide up to 40mins cord-free usage time. In-use time will vary
depending on the heat and curl type settings selected, as well as
hair type.
NOTE - Charge time may vary depending on type of adaptor and
power source being used.
PRESERVING THE BATTERY - In order to maintain the optimum
capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable battery, the styler should
be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 3 months.
Even though the styler may not be used for an extended period
of time if in storage, it should be recharged every 3 months for
approximately 3 hours to preserve the battery life.

input on the bottom of the styler.

TANGLE-FREE TECHNOLOGY
Curl Secret® Cordless is safe & easy to use when used properly.
However, should improper use occur, the tangle-free feature has
been designed to immediately stop the appliance from drawing hair
into the curl chamber & reverse to a neutral position.
IMPORTANT: If hair does get tangled, you will hear one long beep.
Press the START button to stop the current curling operation.
Then work the hair out of the unit carefully. Using your fingers,
slowly remove a few strands of hair at a time from the chamber.
Make sure fingers do not come in contact with heated curl chamber.
MEMORY FUNCTION
The Curl Secret® Cordless features a memory function, which will
automatically default to your previous heat & curl type settings from
when it was powered o last time, saving time & hassle.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The Curl Secret® Cordless has an automatic shut o feature for
added safety and to preserve battery life.
If the styler is switched on and idle for more than 5 minutes, it will
automatically shut o. This does not mean the battery is dead.
If you want to continue using the styler after this time, simply press
the button to turn the power on again. The styler will default to
the last settings used.
AIR TRAVEL
Please note that this styler contains a rechargeable lithium-ion
battery and may be carried as part of your carry-on baggage. This
is subject to the individual airline’s discretion. We advise to check

DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE
The Curl Secret® Cordless is a dierent type of styling tool & works
dierently to any other curling stylers you may have used in the past.
So before you start using it, familiarize yourself with the right size hair
section depending on your length.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the curl any closer than 2cm to 4cm from
the scalp, depending on how long your hair length is.
Comb through to remove any tangles & divide hair into sections no
wider than 2.5cm (the smaller the section, the tighter the curls).
The short & long hair slots should help you to determine the
optimum hair section. DO NOT try to jam larger sections into the
hair slots, as this is improper use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry & free from hairspray.
Hairspray may cause the hair to heat up to astronomical
temperatures & stick like glue, in-turn creating diculty to
remove hair from the styler.
1. IMPORTANT - You must section your hair & comb through until
its completely tangle-free before use.
The secret to nailing your look is to create 3 sections.
This will ensure your style always looks consistent.
a) Use the wide-tooth comb or fingers & create the top section,
from temple to temple and clip away on top of the head with a
sectioning clip.
b) Create the middle section from ear to ear & clip away with a
sectioning clip.
c) The hair left down is your bottom section.
d) Always start with the bottom section first & once completely
styled as desired, unclip the middle section, style & then
unclip the top section. When using the Curl Secret® Cordless
you will need to divide the hair into smaller sections.
Refer to DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for
more detail.
For more information on sectioning hair go to vssassoon.com.au.
2. Press the button on the bottom of the styler to turn on styler &
LED display. The battery LED indicator will illuminate.
3. Select your desired temperature setting by pressing the button
repeatedly until desired heat setting is selected. The heat setting
will blink until desired temperature is reached.
NOTE - Styler will power o if desired temperature is not selected
within 5 seconds.
4. Select your desired curl type by pressing the CURL TYPE button
repeatedly to select desired curl.

CURL SECRET® CORDLESS CERAMIC AUTO CURLER

5. Hold the styler vertically/upright with the short slot
opening facing towards your head.
6. Place a section of hair in the short slot opening at
the top of the styler making sure that all the hair is
placed inside the top of the split barrel. (Fig. 1)
7. Guide the remaining section of hair down the long
slot until it’s below the *symbol & gently hold in
place to ensure proper position for curling. Make sure
100% of the hair section is aligned along the slot and
that there are no fray hair strands.
IMPORTANT - Your hair may become tangled if these
instructions are not followed or if any hair is held
loosely & falls away without 100% of it entering the curl
chamber at the same time.
8. Press the START button & watch the magic happen
as your hair gently wraps around the barrel. (Fig. 2)
9. Hold the styler in place until you hear the rapid
beeps (Fig. 3).
10. Pull the styler down & away to reveal the curl. (Fig.4)
11. Allow your hair to cool before handling or combing.
12. Repeat all desired sections until you have the number
of curls you would like. Use light hair spray to set the
curls and maximize curl longevity.
13. After use, turn the styler o by pressing the button.
Allow to cool before storing away.
