sure the micro USB input on the charging cable
supplied (Fig. 1) is plugged into the appliance
before plugging the USB charging cord into the
adaptor & the adaptor into a power outlet.
2. The LCD display battery indicator level
will flash when the appliance is charging.

PRESERVING THE BATTERIES - In order to maintain
the optimum capacity of the lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, the
appliance should be recharged for 4.5 hours approximately every
3 months.

of time if in storage, it should be recharged every 3 months for
approximately 4.5 hours to preserve the battery life.
Do not leave lithium-ion batteries unused for extended periods of
time.
CHARGING TIPS

micro USB input on the appliance.
• If using with a dierent charging adaptor (not the one supplied),
check to see if the adaptor is working by plugging in another USB

ANTI-TANGLE PROTECTION SYSTEM
The appliance is fitted with an anti-tangle protection system. If hair
becomes tangled, the curler will sound a continuous beeping noise
and the curl chamber catcher will reverse to its original position.
Then please follow these instructions:
1. Remove your finger from the START button
2. Gently pull the curler down and away to release the hair.
Hair could become tangled due to:
Possible Cause: The section of hair being inserted into the curl
chamber is too thick/big.
Solution: BEFORE USE - Section hair and comb through until its
completely tangle-free. Clip away each section not being styled
with sectioning clips. Ensure there are no stray hairs within each of
the sections.
Take a section of hair 1.5cm to 2.5cm, depending on your hair length.
For longer hair, take smaller sections and start curling from the mid-
lengths to ends of the hair section.
ALWAYS ensure that you place the entire smooth section of hair
into the curl chamber.
ENSURE ALL OF THE HAIR SECTION SITS INSIDE THE OPENING
OF THE CURL CHAMBER - THERE SHOULD BE NO STRAY HAIRS.
Possible Cause: Hair was not combed through/is not free of knots.
Solution: Section hair and comb through before styling. Ensure that
all hair is brushed or combed through thoroughly first to ensure that
it is free of all knots and tangles.
Possible Cause: START button was pushed before the section of
hair was inserted into the curl chamber.
Solution: Ensure that hair is inserted into the curl chamber BEFORE
the START button is pressed.

MIX SETTING = ALTERNATE CURLS WARNING!
Possible Cause: Finger has been removed from the button before
all required beeps. Hair has become tangled after repressing the
button.
Solution: MIX setting = Alternate curls. If you take your finger o the
button whilst hair is curling and then re press the button while
your hair is still in the curler, the curler will start spinning the other
way because it now thinks it is creating a new curl... this will create
a tangle in your hair.
If you take your finger o the button accidentally during curling
remove the styler from hair immediately.
To correctly curl a hair section - press and continuously hold the
button to draw the hair section into the curl chamber, making sure
100% of the hair section enters the curl chamber at the same time.
DO NOT remove your finger from the button until you hear
the required succession of slow beeps corresponding to the timer
setting you’ve selected. When you hear the 2 rapid beeps, you
can then release your finger from the button.

styling versatility for all hair types.

DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE
The Unbound Auto Curler is a new 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 4cm from the
scalp.

high. Create a variety of curls with dierent combinations of heat,
time, and curl direction!

LET’S GET CURLING
Wash, condition & dry your hair as normal.
Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry and free from hairspray.
Hairspray may cause the hair to heat up to astronomical
temperatures and stick like glue, in-turn creating diculty to
remove hair from the styler.
1. IMPORTANT - You must section your hair and comb through
until its completely tangle-free before use. The secret to nailing
your look is to create 3 larger sections. This will ensure your
style always looks consistent.
a) Use a comb or fingers and 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 and clip away with a
sectioning clip.
c) The hair left down is your bottom section.
d) Always start with the bottom section first and once completely
styled as desired, unclip the middle section, style and then
unclip the top section. When using the Unbound Cordless Auto
Curler you will need to divide the hair into smaller sections.
Refer to DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for
more detail.
ALWAYS ensure that you place the entire smooth section of hair
into the curl chamber.
ENSURE ALL OF THE HAIR SECTION SITS INSIDE THE OPENING
OF THE CURL CHAMBER - THERE SHOULD BE NO STRAY HAIRS

for 2 seconds. You will hear a beep and the LCD
display will turn on (Fig.3).
3. CHOOSE YOUR DESIRED SETTINGS - press the

to select an option for each - heat setting (160°C,
180°C, 200°C), curl direction (R, L, MIX) and heat
time (6, 8, 10, or 12 seconds) (Fig. 4).
4. WAIT FOR THE BEEP - Heating symbol will
blink when it is heating (Fig. 5), when required
temperature has been reached the unit will stop
blinking & 2 beeps will sound.
5. HAIR WE GO - Always ensure that the hair section
is combed through, completely tangle-free and
there are NO stray hairs within the section.
BEFORE you start curling, ensure the hair section is the correct
size.
Take a section of hair 1.5cm to 2.5cm, depending on your hair
length. For longer hair, take smaller sections and start curling from
the mid-lengths to ends of the hair section. Refer to DETERMING
THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for more detail.
With the opening of the curl chamber facing up and away from
your head, place the entire smooth section of hair
into the curl chamber at the top of the section
(Fig. 6), or wherever you’d like the curl to start.

THEN when you hear 2 rapid ‘beeps’, release the
button, remove the curler down slowly to reveal
the perfect curl (Fig. 8).
Allow the curl to completely cool down so the curl can set, if you
pull the curler away, the curl/wave will loosen/drop and the curl
will not last. Do not pull on the curler to free the hair.
IMPORTANT - Once the curler starts curling DO NOT remove
your finger or stop pressing the button, listen carefully to the
required succession of slow beeps, when you hear the 2 fast beeps
you can remove the curler.
