HOW TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR

PREPARING YOUR HAIR

1. Carefully wash and comb out your hair.

Expert’s advice : Always start combing wet hair at the ends then slowly work your way up towards the roots. Gentle combing prevents split ends from forming.

2. Towel dry your hair and pre dry using the Hair Designer

set at the high setting, using the concentrator if necessary. For best results, towel dry and ensure hair is not soaking wet before using the straightening attachment.

Expert’s Advice : A: Whatever type of hair you have, start the pre-drying process by bending at the waist, allowing your hair to fall forward to better lift the roots and give your style volume. B: If, however, you prefer less volume, stand with your head straight to pre-dry your hair.

GETTING THE DRYER READY

1. Attach the straightener attachment.

2. Select the tension setting recommended for your hair type using the Tension Control Dial located on the side of the straightener attachment. Expert's advice: The ﬁrst time you use the

attachment, set it at tension 4 (strongest tension) to familiarize yourself with the Inﬁniti Hair Designer

™

. Gradually decrease the tension setting until you ﬁnd the best setting for your

hair.

3. For best results, use the appliance set at high setting (Speed/temperature).

4. Using the release lock buttons set attachment at desired angle for professional, salon styling results.

Use CAUTION when changing settings while in use as straightening attachment tension control dial may be hot.

STRAIGHTENING TRIPLE ACTION STYLING PRINCIPLE

The patent-pending straightener attachment dries, straightens and shines your hair in just one step. The unique principle integrates the 3 essential steps for perfect straightening results:

1. A detangling comb distributes your hair among the centre Tourmaline Ceramic

™

straightening plates.

KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE HAIR DESIGNER™ BY CONAIR

2. Each Tourmaline Ceramic™ centre plate is then able to straighten efﬁciently using tension to smooth out curls, eliminate static and control frizz.

3. The straightened hair is then given a shiny, polished ﬁnish as it passes through the ﬂocked disks.

HOW TO USE THE 360

ROTATING HEAD ATTACHMENT

To carry out the 3 steps effectively, the straightener attachment rotates 360

into 8 different positions. To change the position, press the 2 attachment release lock buttons on each side of the barrel, turn the attachment, and then release the buttons rotating the attachment until it ‘clicks’ into place. Do not force rotation without using attachment release lock buttons.

Expert’s Advice: Ideally, the teeth of the detangling comb should be positioned facing down and used on the hair ﬁrst: by using this position hair gets detangled, is straightened and then shined for a silky, smooth, salon ﬁnish.

STYLING TIPS

Work in stages.

1. Section hair and clip-up the upper layers of hair on top of your head to begin with the hair underneath and at the nape of the neck.

2. Move on to the hair at the back of your head and then on the sides.

3. Finish with the upper layers of hair. For best results, hold ends of selected strand to keep hair taut while straightening. For straighter, sleeker strands slowly pass dryer with straightener attachment through each strand. This concentrates heat and tourmaline, ceramic, ionic technology on selected hair strand smoothing away curls and controlling frizz. For more volume, glide dryer with straightener attachment more quickly through each strand.

Expert’s Advice: Smooth or volume straightening? To reduce the volume of thick or voluminous hair, position the Hair Designer

™ on top of the section of hair. If you want

more volume, place the Hair Designer

™ underneath the section of hair to straighten

while lifting the roots for added volume.

CURLING THE ENDS OF YOUR HAIR Curl Under Flip

1. Select the horizontal position for the straightener attachment.

2. Separate a section of hair about 1½" wide. Place the dryer (detangling teeth facing down) under the section of hair.

3. With a slight twisting motion of the wrist, turn the appliance under and slide it slowly towards the ends, using your free hand if necessary to turn the hair up.

4. Hold it for 5 to 10 seconds: this will give the action of the Tourmaline Ceramic™ and ﬂocked disks maximum effect.

5. Repeat if necessary and ﬁnish with a shot of cool air on the section of hair for perfect hold.

LONG/SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR

1. Select the horizontal position for the straightener attachment.

2. Separate a section of hair about 1½" wide. Place the dryer (detangling comb facing down) at the roots ensuring that the teeth of the detangling comb penetrate hair fully.

3. Hold ends of hair strand while straightening to keep hair taut and create tension for best results.

4. With a slight twisting motion of the wrist, turn the appliance under and slide it slowly down the length of your hair to smooth out curls underneath strand.

5. Repeat if necessary until strand reaches the desired level of smoothness. Finish with a cool air shot to set style.

6. For smoother hair, concentrate heat and tourmaline, ceramic, ionic technology by slowly straightening each strand. With this new technology, results will still be faster and easier than using a traditional brush.
