IONIC CONDITIONING
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man- made fibres & air pollution add to the build-up of static electricity in your hair. Even simply brushing & towel-drying your hair can increase these levels. This static charge causes the scales, or cuticles of the hair, to push hair strands apart, resulting in a rough hair surface. Consequently, your hair may have a dull appearance. High levels of static charge cause your hair to become ‘flyaway’ & difficult to style.
The advanced internal ionic generator conditions hair by emitting negative ions to reduce static, leaving your hair silky & shiny with reduced frizz.
NOTE : Turning on the straightener will automatically activate the ionic technology. A slight buzzing sound can be heard from the ionic ports when the straightener is switched on and the ionic is active. This noise is completely normal and part of the standard operation of this product.

ADVANCED SOL-GEL TECHNOLOGY

Advanced Sol-Gel Technology combined with luxurious ceramic gives the ultimate glide & longer lasting results, with 15x more ceramic for optimum durability. The ceramic helps keep your hair looking healthy & shiny by maintaining even heat during the styling process. Static is reduced by quickly sealing the hair cuticle layer ensuring minimal frizz making your hair easier to manage.
15x more ceramic (coating) than a standard VS straightener

HOW TO STYLE WITH THE DIGITAL SENSOR INTELLIGENT STRAIGHTENER

STRAIGHTEN
Start with clean & dry hair, thoroughly combed through hair. Apply a heat spray for extra protection & longer lasting results. Straighten your hair in sections ensuring you go over each section once to get that gorgeous, silky finish. If you are needing to go over the section more than once, creating thinner sections will help create straight hair in the first glide.

VOLUME
Create volume by making a curved movement with your wrist as you glide the straightener down the hair section.

EXPERT TIP
Set your style by finishing with a spritz of light-hold hair spray, for extra hold if needed.
