Fluctuation of values on the display is absolutely normal and it is not the reason for claiming defect of the appliance.
Temperature and type of hair
- Low temperature (100 – 140 °C) – for fine, bleached or damaged hair,
- Medium temperature (140 – 190 °C) – for normal and wavy hair,

Hair straightening
Use the hair straightener for washed and dried or slightly damp hair, never
for wet hair. Before using the hair straightener, comb the hair so that it is
not disheveled. Start with styling the lower hair first. When styling hair, do
not put locks of hair that are too thick between the plates. Divide a lock in
about 5 cm of its width and put it into an open hair straightener. Then close
the hair straightener by pushing and move it slowly on the lock from roots
towards hair tips. You can curl the tips thanks to round edges of the plates
upwards or downwards. Repeat the process till you have created the required
hairstyle. Let the hair cool down before the final styling.
Lock
The lock is used for safe and effective storing of the straightener in the
closed position. Locking – close the straightener by pushing and slide control
A9 to the position . Unlocking – push the closed straightener and slide
control A9 to the position .
MAINTENANCE
