Some parts of the brush may be hot. Hold the product by its handle.

» The indicator ( 2 ) will keep blinking until the appliance is ready for use.
» The ion function ( 5 ) is activated when the appliance is switched on, providing additional shine and reduces frizz. You may smell a special odor and hear a sizzling noise. It is common because they are caused by the ion generator.

To straighten your hair ( Fig.C )

Use a round brush or comb to detangle your hair before using.
Select one section of hair and put the heated brush ( 2 ) underneath the hair strand with bristles facing upwards, about 3cm away from your hair roots.
Hold the selected hair section taut. Slide down the brush slowly to your hair ends in a single motion and slightly turn in the brush as you reach the ends to give soft flicks to the ends.
Allow the section of hair to cool for 2-3 seconds. On the same hair with brush facing downwards, hold the hair taut and slowly slide down to your hair ends in a single motion without stopping.
Repeat steps 2-4 as necessary until you get your desired results.
To turn off the appliance, slide the switch ( a ) to O.
Let the hair sections cool down before you finger-comb the hair into its final style. For long lasting results, mist with hairspray.

Tips and Tricks

Flatten the selected section of hair between your fingers before placing hair on the brush so that hair is spread evenly across the brush.
Place selected hair as close as possible to the heated base of the brush to ensure there is good contact with hair for better styling results.

After use:

Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
Place it on a heat-resistant surface until it cools down.
Clean the appliance and bristles by damp cloth and use your fingers to remove hair or dust on the brush.
Keep it in a safe and dry place, free of dust. You can also hang it with the hanging loop ( d ).
