BEFORE USING

• Remove all packaging & point of sale labels before use.

DO NOT USE THIS STYLER ON HAIR EXTENSIONS.

TANGLE-FREE TECHNOLOGY
Curl Secret® Max is safe & easy to use when used properly. However, should improper use occur, the tangle-free feature has been designed to immediately stop the appliance from drawing hair into the curl chamber & reverse to a neutral position.
IMPORTANT: If hair does get tangled, press the START button to stop the current curling operation or unplug the unit directly. Then work the hair out of the styler carefully. Using your fingers, slowly remove a few strands of hair from the chamber at a time. Make sure fingers do not come in contact with the heated curl chamber.

MEMORY FUNCTION
The Curl Secret® Max features a memory function, which will automatically remember & resume your previous heat, curl type & curl direction settings from when it was powered off last time, saving time & hassle.
LOW ENERGY-EFFICIENT MODE
If the Curl Secret® Max is on & idle for more than 20 minutes, it will switch to low-energy mode & the heat setting will automatically reduce to around 150°C. If you wish to continue using the styler after this time, simply press the START button.
AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF
The Curl Secret® Max has an automatic shut off feature for added safety. If the styler is switched on for more than 60 minutes continuously, it will automatically switch off. If you wish to continue using the styler after this time, simply press & hold the button for approximately 1 second to turn the power on again. The styler will default to the last settings used.

HEAT SETTINGS GUIDE
Press the power button repeatedly to select the desired temperature setting. There are 5 heat settings to choose from, depending on your hair type. Use the following settings as a guide:

CURL DIRECTIONS GUIDE

DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE
The Curl Secret® Max is a different type of styling tool & works differently to any other curling stylers you may have used in the past.
So before you start using it, familiarize yourself with the right size hair section depending on your length.
IMPORTANT: Do not start the curl any closer than 2cm to 4cm from the scalp, depending on how long your hair length is.
Comb through to remove any tangles & divide hair into sections no wider than 2.5cm (the smaller the section, the tighter the curls).
The short & long hair slots should help you to determine the optimum hair section. DO NOT try to jam larger sections into the hair slots, as this is improper use.

MIX & MATCH

wide-tooth comb
glam waves| 180 /195 /210°C| | | let hair cool  before using a paddle brush
natural waves| 150 /165 /180°C| | | let hair cool before combing with a wide- tooth comb

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry & free from hairspray.
Hairspray may cause the hair to heat up to astronomical temperatures & stick like glue, in-turn creating difficulty to remove hair from the styler.

1. IMPORTANT – You must section your hair & comb through until its completely tangle-free before use.
   The secret to nailing your look is to create 3 sections.
   This will ensure your style always looks consistent.
   a) Use a comb or fingers & create the top section, from temple to temple and clip away on top of the head with a sectioning clip.
   b) Create the middle section from ear to ear & clip away with a sectioning clip.
   c) The hair left down is your bottom section.
   d) Always start with the bottom section first & once completely styled as desired, unclip the middle section, style & then unclip the top section. When using the Curl Secret® Max you will need to divide the hair into smaller sections.
   Refer to DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for more detail.
   For more information on sectioning hair go to vssassoon.com.au.

2.  Plug your Curl Secret® Max into a suitable plug adapter (refer to chart), connect to a household outlet (120-240V) & place on a heat protective, flat level surface.

3. Switch on the styler by pressing & holding the power button for approximately 1 second. The styler & LED display will turn on, while the default heat setting will start flashing.

4. Select your desired temperature, curl type, & curl direction settings. (Fig. 1 and 2)

5. Hold the styler vertically/upright with the short slot opening facing towards your head.

6. Place a section of hair in the short slot opening at the top of the unit making sure that all the hair is placed inside the top of the split barrel. (Fig. 3)

7. Guide the remaining section of hair down the long slot until it’s below the symbol & gently hold in place to ensure proper position for curling. Make sure 100% of the hair section is aligned along the slot and that there are no fray hair strands.
   IMPORTANT – Your hair may become tangled if these instructions are not followed or if any hair is held loosely & falls away without 100% of it entering the curl chamber at the same time.

8. Press the START button & watch the magic happen as your hair gently wraps around the barrel. (Fig. 4)

9. Hold the curler in place until you hear the rapid beeps.

10.  Pull the curler down & away to reveal the curl. (Fig. 5)

11. Allow your hair to cool before handling or combing.  Repeat all desired sections until you have the number of curls you would like. Use light hair spray to set the curls and maximize curl longevity.

12.  After use, turn the styler off by pressing & holding the power button for approximately 1 second. Allow to cool before storing away.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

In order to prevent build-up of residue from hair products which could prevent the styler from working properly, it is important to clean the curl chamber regularly.

• Ensure the styler is switched off, unplugged from the power supply & completely cooled down.
• Twist off the detachable cover. Wipe curl chamber & cover with a soft, damp cloth.
• Allow cover & chamber to dry.
• Replace cover back on styler. Twist cover until it locks in place on styler.
