GETTING STARTED

The iron’s 25 temperature settings and Instant Heat technology provide styling versatility for all hair types. If you have ﬁ ne hair, a low temperature will provide the best results.

SUPER STYLING GUIDE

Your best looks begin with a good haircut that ’s well maintained. Always treat hair right with superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and ﬁ nishing products.

CURLING BASICS

1. Plug the styling iron cord into a standard household electrical outlet (120/240V).

Never leave your styling iron on and una ttended. However, sh ould you fail to turn the iron o ff, it will shut itself off automatically in approximately 60 minutes.

2. To create spiral curls and ringlets, work with 1" sections of hair, one at a time. Hold iron horizontally, press the automatic curl release button, and place the ends of your hair under the shortened iron spoon. Hair ends should be placed on the left side of the spoon, rolling the unit in a counter clockwise direction so hair falls into the grooves easily. Release the automatic curl release to clamp hair in place. Wrap hair in between spiral grooves on barrel, t wisting upward toward the hair root. Press curl press button to compress hair strand against heated s piral surfaces for the perfect spiral. Leave hair wrapped for approximately 5-7 seconds. Release curl press button and unwind hair from barrel; open the automatic curl release to unclamp hair. Repeat procedure, styling small sections at a time, layering the spiral curls as you go, until all hair is curled.

3. To achieve faster styling results, the spiral styler features a unique optional Turbo Heat burst. Press the Turbo Heat™ button to deliver up to 20°C/36°F more heat in the highest setting for maximum styling per formance.

YOU’RE WRONG.
