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 your 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.

6 After shampooing, use TRESemmé remoisturising conditioner for

detangling the hair and improving its condition.

Drying your hair

To get professional styling results, it is essential to prepare your hair for styling. Dr y you hair properly with a hairdryer 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.

2 Use a comb to disentangle hair gently from the roots to the tips.

3 Dry your hair by making brushing movements with the hairdryer at a

small distance from your hair.

4 When you have finished drying, set the hairdryer to the cold setting

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

Using the appliance

Which temperature to use

◗ Heat stylers are powerful styling tools and should always be used

with care. If you use the styler incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong temperature, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.

-Always select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type.

-Always select a low setting when you use the styler for the first time.

- For fine or normal hair, select a low to medium temperature (settings 1-15).

- For thick or coarse hair, select a medium to high temperature (settings 15-30)

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

Setting the temperature

1 Insert the plug into the wall socket.

2 Switch the appliance on by turning the temperature control knob

to a setting that is suitable for your hair.

3 The red light starts burning to indicate that the appliance is

switched on.

4 You can adjust the temperature by turning the temperature control

knob to another setting between setting 1 and 30. It will take 60-90 seconds for the styler to heat up. For optimum styling performance, let the styler continue to heat up for about 2 to 3 minutes before you start using it.

Making waves in your hair

1 Divide your hair into locks and put them aside with clips.

2 The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the waves will get.

3 Ta ke the lock you want to style and comb it first, to get rid of tangles.

You will achieve the best results if you work from the scalp to the ends of the hair.

4 Lightly clamp the hair lock close to the scalp and weave under and

over the barrels.

5 Close the clip and hold the styler in this position for a few seconds.

6 Open the clip by pressing on the lever.

7 The waving process requires some overlapping.

8 When putting the appliance down, put it on its stand to avoid burn

marks on your furniture. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.

Cleaning

1 Switch the appliance off by turning the temperature control knob to

0 and unplug it.

2 Let the appliance cool down completely on its stand.

3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.

4 Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.
