TITANIUM TECHNOLOGY
The smooth glide titanium plates promote efficient styling by
providing maximum temperature stability for poker straight-in-
one-pass results proven to last up to 24 hours^.
CONDITIONING STEAM MIST
The Vapor Infusion Technology transforms even the hardest-
to-style hair, particularly thick, coarse, afro-textured, naturally
kinky hair types, whilst also being perfect for fine, damaged
& colour-treated hair. You can choose to style with the steam
function switched on or off, and you can also choose to refill the
straightener reservoir directly using the pipette or use with the
base station for effortless gravity refill.
NB - When you first turn the straightener on, the steam function
will default off.
To use the straightener without steam:
Simply just press the On/Off
( ) button to turn your straightener
on.
To use the straightener with steam & the base station gravity
refill:
1. Before filling with water, ensure the black rubber plug on the
bottom of the base station is secured tightly closed.
2. Lift the black rubber plug on the top of the base station
water reservoir & fill with distilled water (We recommend
using distilled water as this will help protect the
appliance best & lessen the chance of clogging
the inside mechanism that allows the steam to
flow through). The base station water reservoir
holds 100ml of water & will provide around 60
minutes of steam usage time from a full tank.
Replace the black rubber plug & ensure it’s secured tightly
closed.

3. Place the base station onto a heat-protective, flat level surface
& push down to secure the suction feet onto the surface. This
will prevent the base station from moving around.
4. Ensure that the water reservoir on the bottom
of the straightener is empty of water & secured
in place, then place the straightener onto the
base station by aligning the 2 pins & pushing
down until the straightener slots into place.
NB - there’s no need to close or lock the plates - you can place
the straightener onto the base station with the plates in the
open position. However, if the straightener is switched on, we
recommend locking the plates before placing the straightener
onto the base station & always wearing the heat protection
glove to avoid the hot surfaces of the straightener coming into
contact with the skin.
TIP - To avoid the straightener from overfilling, always ensure
that the straightener water reservoir is nearly or completely
empty of water before placing onto the base station for refilling.
5. As soon as the straightener is correctly in place, the water
will automatically refill within 10-15 seconds & the straightener
is then ready to use. NB - the straightener doesn’t need to
be switched on to refill with water, BUT if the straightener is
switched on, we recommend locking the plates before placing
the straightener onto the base station & always wearing
the heat protection glove to avoid the hot surfaces of the
straightener coming into contact with the skin.
6. Remove the straightener from the base station & press the
On/Off
( ) button to turn your straightener on. The default
140°C LED indicator will illuminate & start to flash. At this point
the straightener will start heating up.
7. Press the steam
( ) button once to switch on the steam
function. The steam LED indicator will illuminate.
8.
When using the steam function & the plates are closed, the
straightener will make a clicking sound. This is completely
normal & part of standard operation as the pump is pushing
the water through the inside mechanism
.

9. To refill the straightener water reservoir, you can simply click
the straightener onto the base station in between brushing
& sectioning your hair, being careful not to touch the hot
surfaces of the straightener. No fussing or fiddling required!
TIP - To avoid the straightener from overfilling, always ensure
that the straightener water reservoir is nearly or completely
empty of water before placing onto the base station for refilling.
IMPORTANT - The base station should only be used for refilling
the straightener water reservoir. Please do not rest the
straightener on the base station when not in use.
10. Once you’ve finished styling your hair, ensure you empty all
the water reservoirs:
a) Base station water reservoir - empty water from the top
section of the base station by lifting the black rubber plug
on the top & pour remaining water into a sink.
b) Base station bottom tank - empty water from the bottom
section of the base station by lifting the black rubber plug
on the bottom & pour remaining water into a sink.
c) Straightener water reservoir - remove the water reservoir
from the bottom of the straightener, lift the black rubber
plug & pour remaining water into a sink.
ALWAYS remove excess water from the base station water
reservoir + the base station bottom tank + the straightener
water reservoir after use, since leaving unused water in the
reservoirs can cause clogging over time.
NB - NEVER add any other liquid aside from distilled water to
the water reservoirs.

To use the straightener with steam, without the base station:
1. Remove the water reservoir located at
the bottom of the straightener by pulling
the release switch down with one hand
& removing the water reservoir with the
other hand.
2. Lift the black rubber plug & using the pipette, fill with distilled
water (We recommend using distilled water as this will help
protect the appliance best & lessen the chance of clogging
the inside mechanism that allows the steam to flow through).
The straightener water reservoir holds 10ml of water & will
provide around 6 minutes of steam usage time from a full tank.
Replace the black rubber plug & put the reservoir back on the
straightener until it clicks into place. Check that the reservoir
is properly positioned & secured in place.
3. Press the On/Off
( ) button to turn your straightener on. The
default 140°C LED indicator will illuminate & start to flash. At
this point the straightener will start heating up.
4. Press the steam
( ) button once to switch on the steam
function. The steam LED indicator will illuminate.
5.
When using the steam function & the plates are closed, the
straightener will make a clicking sound. This is completely
normal & part of standard operation as the pump is pushing
the water through the inside mechanism.
ALWAYS remove excess water from the base station water
reservoir + the base station bottom tank + the straightener
water reservoir after use, since leaving unused water in the
reservoirs can cause clogging over time.
NB - NEVER add any other liquid aside from distilled water to
the water reservoirs.

VARIABLE HEAT SETTINGS
Please ensure you choose the required temperature setting
according to your particular need & hair type. If using the steam
function & depending on the texture & condition of your hair, you
may not need to select a high temperature setting. You might also
decide to use a combination of steam & high heat, steam & low
heat, or no steam, but we always suggest starting with the lowest
temperature setting when using for the first time, until you get used
to using the Steam Straight Brilliance.
NB: The heat-up time will vary depending on which temperature
setting you select.
TEMPERATURE HAIR TYPE
140°C Delicate, fine, bleached hair
160°C Average, colour-treated hair
180°C Wavy, curly hair
200°C Hard to style, thick hair
220°C Coarse, afro-textured, difficult to style hair

REMOVABLE DETANGLING COMB
The Steam Straight Brilliance includes a
detangling comb that helps to provide more
uniform results & complete 3D straightening,
as it helps to sections & detangles as you style.
The comb is useful for helping to straighten
hard-to-style, coarse & afro-textured hair types as it helps to create
more tension as you straighten. The comb is easily removable -
simply slide it along the plate to the left to fully remove.
HEAT PROTECTION GLOVE
A universal heat protective glove has been supplied to help protect
your hand from temporary heat contact. Please note that the heat
protective glove is only designed to give initial contact protection.
Discomfort will be caused by prolonged contact with the hot
surface.

HOW TO STYLE WITH
THE STEAM STRAIGHT
BRILLIANCE
STRAIGHT
Start with clean & dry, 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.
EXPERT TIP
Set your style with a spritz of light hold hair spray, for extra hold if
needed.
