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 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 ngertips.This
stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the
hair cuticles.
5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can
result in dull hair.
6 Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.
Drying your hair
To get professional styling results, it is essential to prepare
your hair for curling. Dry you hair properly with a
hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth nish.
1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair
with your hands and then towel-dry the hair.
Use a comb to disentangle hair gently from the roots to
the tips.
2 Dry your hair by making brushing movements with
the dryer at a small distance from your hair.
3 When you have nished drying, set the hairdryer to
the cold setting for a nal cold shot. This closes the
cuticles and leaves your hair glossier.
Using the appliance
Which temperature to use
Curling irons are powerful styling tools and should always
be used with care.
If you use the curler incorrectly or if you use it at the
wrong temperature, you could overdry your hair or
even burn it.
Always select a temperature that is suitable for hair
,
type.
Always select a low heat setting when you start
,
using the curler for the rst time.
For ne or normal hair, select a low to medium
,
temperature
(100-140 cC).
For thick or coarse hair, select a medium to high
,
temperature
(150-180 cC).
Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or
,
colour-treated hair, since it will be susceptible to
damage at high temperatures.
For loose curls or waves use a lower temperature
,
than for tight curls.
Setting the temperature
1 Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2 Press the on/off button. (Fig. 2)
The light turns red to indicate that the appliance is
heating up.
The display shows the selected temperature (default 100
cC) and the remaining time of the curling session.
3 You can adjust the set temperature by pressing
the + and - buttons. Look at the display to see the
temperature you have selected. The light burns red
as long as the appliance is heating up to the set
temperature. (Fig. 3)
The light turns green as soon as the set
,
temperature has been reached. (Fig. 4)
The bars on the display show the remaining usage
,
time of the appliance. The total usage time is 60
minutes. Every ten minutes one of the six bars will
disappear.
Curling your hair
1 Divide your hair into locks and put them aside with
clips. (Fig. 5)
The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the curl will be.
2 Start at the lower part of your head and work your
way up to the crown.
3 Take the lock you want to curl and comb it rst, to
get rid of tangles. (Fig. 6)
4 Take the lock of hair, open the clip by pressing the
lever and place the lock between the barrel and the
clip. (Fig. 7)
5 Release the lever and slide the barrel to the end of
the lock. (Fig. 8)
6 Take the cool tip between your ngertips and wind
the hair around the barrel until you have almost
reached your scalp. Make sure the end of the lock is
wound in the required direction. (Fig. 9)
7 Hold for 15 seconds.
8 Unwind the lock of hair until the clip can be
opened again by means of the lever. (Fig. 10)
Using the slide-on spiral
Only slide the spiral on or off the barrel when the
,
appliance has cooled down, to avoid burning your
ngers.
With the spiral you can create ringlets by winding
,
the lock round the barrel following the spiral
prole.
