How to Use

How the Micro Conditioners Work

As you use your straightener, a special blend of micro conditioners are evenly emitted onto your hair. Micro conditioners in the coating come to the surface of the plates during heating and operation of the straightener, and are transferred to the hair during styling.

Heat Settings

Take extra care when using a professional styler. This styler reaches a professional heat of 450°F. To prevent hair damage, make sure to use the correct temperature setting for your hair type.

/- Button Features

•

Set to desired temperature setting.

•

During heat up time, temperature display will pulse until the desired temperature is reached.

•

When the tool reaches the desired temperature, the pulsing will stop and the temperature will be displayed.

Turbo Mode: (hold time about 2 seconds) – Activating: Press “+” Button and hold about 2 seconds to increase temperature

to maximum 450°F setting.

– Decreasing: Press “-” button to decrease the temperature like the normal

function mode.

Heat Sensor

How to Use:

– Set the straightener to your desired temperature. – This optional function can be turned on, or off by pressing the heat sensor but-

ton located next to the unit’s +/- buttons.

– When activated, the heat sensor icon will illuminate through the top of the

straightener. When the straightener is closed the icon will pulse, letting you know that the sensor is actively protecting your hair from excessive damage.

How the Heat Sensor Works:

– This system allows you to avoid excessive heat to already damaged/dry area

of your hair by automatically adjusting the temperature to a safe styling zone. Allowing you to style your hair fast and beautifully without the worry of damaging your hair.

− The computerized sensor, found in the top plate of your straightener, is designed to identify dry to damaged hair, caused by excessive heat styling.

– As you move the straightener through your hair, the sensor will automatically

detect the dry/damaged areas and adjust the temperature bringing it to a safe styling zone.

– Once you pass over the damaged area, the straightener will re-adjust to you

designated temperature once the sensor identifies normal/healthy hair.

Temp. Hair Type A. 300˚-340˚F Very fine, fragile, damaged hair B. 375˚F Normal, easy to straighten hair C. 410˚-450˚F Thick, difficult to straighten hair

Hinge Lock

This professional flat iron has a closing lock to make the unit easier to store. To lock the iron, simply squeeze the plates together and turn the switch to the locked position. To unlock, turn the switch to the unlock position. NOTE: Do not heat the unit in the locked position.

Usage Tips

Straightening Your Hair

1. Hair should be dry and free of tangles before using the styling iron.

2. Plug the styler into an electrical outlet. Press and hold the ON/OFF button until

the unit turns on and the LCD lights up.

3. Adjust the temperature using the temperature buttons. The display will flash

while the unit heats up, and then glow steadily when it has reached the selected temperature.

4. Divide hair into manageable sections and clip the upper layers on top of your

head, out of the way. Work with underneath layers first.

5. Test the styler on a small section of hair, then adjust the temperature up or down

before styling the rest of your hair.

Note:

If you find that you need a higher setting while straightening your hair, simply adjust

• the temperature to a higher heat setting.

•

While straightening your hair, if you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the temperature to a lower heat setting. Because the unit is already hot, it may take a few minutes to cool off.

6. Take a small section of hair, pull down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.

7. Starting at the roots, clamp hair firmly between the plates and run the styler

down the entire hair strand, from root to tip, in one smooth stroke. Do not hold the styler in one area for a long period of time or damage to hair may occur.

8. To create curves or flicks, rotate your wrist to turn the iron in toward your head or out away from your head as you run the iron down the hair strand.

9. Repeat with all the sections of your hair, working with the underneath layers first, then the top and sides to finish.

10. When you are finished styling, press and hold the ON/OFF button to turn the unit off, unplug it, and allow it to cool before storing.
