Begin with 80-90% dry hair.
Select the direction of the curls by choosing the corresponding barrel.
Pro Tip: Apply hair products or styling agents as desired. -
Separate the top and bottom sections of your hair.
-
Hold a ½ -1 inch section of hair 4 inches from the ends making sure to let the ends hang freely.
Pro Tip: Take a section that is even in length for best results. -
Turn on the styling wand. Bring the wand behind the ends of the hair and let the ends wrap around the middle of the barrel automatically.
-
Once the ends wrap, let go of the hair section and slowly bring the barrel directly to the roots, allowing the hair to continue to wrap itself around the barrel. No need to twist the wand.
-
For best curling results and to avoid heat damage, hold the barrel in place for 10 seconds then press the Cool Shot button for at least 10 seconds.
Repeat until hair is dry for best results. Turn off the styling wand and pull the barrel straight down to reveal your curl!
Pro Tip: Once the hair is removed from the barrel, use a setting or holding spray as desired for an even longer- lasting look.
Additional Styling Tips:
- Take smaller sections if your hair is having difficulty wrapping around the barrel.
- Use sectioning clips to prevent unwanted hair from being wrapped around the barrel.
- Test different moisture levels to understand the level of moisture that works best for your hair type!
- For curly or coily hair, prep your hair for curling by lengthening it using the paddle brush.
Turn up the volume.
