Caution

For additional protection, we advise you to install a residual current

device (RCD) in the electrical circuit that supplies the bathroom. This RCD must have a rated residual operating current not higher than 30mA. Ask your installer for advice.

The straightening plates and the plastic parts near the plates reach a

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 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.

Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

Note: after shampooing, use TRESemmé conditioner to detangle the hair and

improve its 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 dry or almost dry 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 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 nished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the

cool setting for a nal cool shot. This closes the cuticles and leaves

your hair glossier.

Using the appliance Straightening your hair
