Usage Tips

NOTE: Please see "Wet/Dry Setting" to the left.

Straightening Your Hair

1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with a towel, as

this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.

2. Plug the straightener into an electrical outlet. Press and hold the on/off button until the unit turns on and the digital display begins flashing.

The straightener will initially heat to setting 15. Adjust the temperature using the +/-

3. buttons. The bars on the display will flash while the unit heats up, then glow steadily when the unit has reached the selected temperature. The styler will beep three times when it is ready for use.

■ Turbo Boost: (hold time about 2 seconds)

-To activate: Press "+" button and hold about 2 seconds to increase

temperature to maximum 400°F setting instantly.

-To release: Press "-" button to decrease the temperature. Divide hair into manageable sections and clip the upper layers on top of your head

4. and 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 by pressing the "+" button. The unit will beep when it reaches the new temperature.

■

While straightening your hair, if you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the

temperature by pressing the "-" button.

Take a small section of hair and comb through it with a fine-toothed comb. Pull hair down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.

7. Hold the straightener with the display and steam vents facing away from your scalp. 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 it in one area for a long period of time or damage to hair may occur.

To speed up drying at the roots, you may wish to run the styler over the first few inches of hair nearest the root several times. Repeatedly run the unit smoothly down the entire strand until hair is fully dried. (NOTE: The unit may make a

steaming/hissing noise when used on damp hair. This is okay! The unique design of this styler will channel the moisture away from hair and out the steam vents.)

9. Repeat with all sections of your hair, working with the underneath layers first,

then the top and sides, until hair is fully dried.

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.

■ Use this curved plate styler to create volume, curves and flips:

Volume: For volume at your roots, glide the styler through your hair by first lift-

ing up and away from the scalp and then through the rest of the hair strand.

Curves: For curved-under looks, glide the unit through the hair strand as

described above, turning the styler under as you reach the ends of your hair.

Flips: For flipped-out looks, glide the unit through the hair strand as described

above, turning the styler outward as you reach the ends of your hair.

NOTE: Hold the straightener with the display and steam vents facing away

from your scalp.
