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

care.
