USAGE TIPS

Straightening Your Hair

Hair should be dry and free of tangles before using the styling iron.
Plug the styler into an electrical outlet. Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the unit turns on and the LCD lights up.
Adjust the temperature using the temperature buttons. The display will flash while the unit heats up, then glow steadily when it has reached the selected temperature.
Divide hair into manageable sections and clip the upper layers on top of your head and out of the way. Work with underneath layers first.
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 to a higher heat setting.
- While straightening your hair, if you find that you need a lower setting, adjust the temperature to a lower heat setting. Because the unit is already hot, it may take a few minutes to cool off.
Take a small section of hair, pull hair down and away from your scalp, and hold it taut.
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 create curves or flicks, rotate your wrist to turn the iron in toward your head or out away from your head as you run the iron down the hair strand.
Repeat with all the sections of your hair, working with the underneath layers first, then the top and sides.
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.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

Make sure the unit is unplugged and cool. Use a damp cloth to clean the plates and the outside of the power handle. No other maintenance of the unit is required.

Storage

Unplug the unit whenever it is not in use. Allow it to cool, then store it out of reach of children in a safe, dry location.
