straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly together.

7 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in 5 seconds, from

root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating (fig. 4).

Preparing for use

Washing your hair

Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair.A good hair-washing routine can help to achieve this.

1 When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.

2 Pour some TRESemmé shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it

between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.

3 Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull

long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.

4 Massage your scalp with your fingertips.This stimulates blood

circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.

5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair.

Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

After shampooing, use TRESemmé conditioner for detangling and improving the hair's condition.

Drying your hair

To get super-smooth results it is essential to prepare your hair for straightening. Dry your hair with a hairdryer until it is dr y or almost dry to ensure a professional, smooth finish.

1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands

and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle the hair gently from the roots to the tips.

2 Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the back.

3 Dry each section by pulling a straightening brush down the hair

length while following the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing towards the hair ends.

4 When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the

cold setting for a final cold shot.This closes the cuticles and leaves your hair glossier.

Using the appliance

Straightening your hair

Straighteners are powerful styling tools and should always be used with care.

◗ As with all straighteners that reach salon high temperatures, do not

use the appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair. If you use the straightener incorrectly, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.Always make sure you select a temperature that is suitable for your hair type (fig. 2).

- Always select a low temperature setting when you start using the straightener for the first time.

- For coarse, curly or hard-to-straighten hair, select a medium to high setting (175 and up).

- For fine, medium-textured or softly waved hair, select a medium to low setting (170 and down).

- Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since it will be susceptible to damage at high temperature settings.

◗ The display shows the selected temperature setting and the remaining

time of the straightening session.

- The bars on the display show the remaining usage time of the straightener.The total usage time is 60 minutes. Every ten minutes one of the six bars will disappear.After 60 minutes the appliance switches off.
