Why use steam for straightening?
The added steam ensures that the hair is straightened gently. Depending on the
hair structure, the hair looks silkier and shinier because of the gentle straightening.
Before straightening
■ The hair should be clean, dry and free of styling products. The only exceptions
to this are special products that promote the straightening of the hair.
■ Comb the hair thoroughly before straightening so that there are no knots in it.

on the water tank . Hold the water tank at a slight tilt when filling it, so
that the water runs downwards.
