OPERATING TIPS
• Hair that has just been washed and dried can be styled better.
• The first few times you use this unit it is advisable to practice on small areas of your hair.
This appliance is designed to smooth, straighten and style your hair, leaving shinier. To use the
appliance proceed as follows: let the appliance heat until it reaches the desired temperature.
Separate your hair into sections about 5 cm wide. Put one section at a time between the
smoothing irons and close the irons by exerting force on the handles.
To obtain a straightening effect: slide the irons slowly through your hair from the roots to the
ends (fig.2). If necessary repeat this operation until the required effect is created.
To obtain tight or loose curls proceed as shown in figures 3, 4, 5. The special "pointed" shape
of the plates means you can get closer to the roots for a better and more complete style.
Let your hair cool before combing or brushing.
Please note: prolonged and repeated use of the appliance at high temperatures may result in a
long-term straightened effect. This means each individual hair will struggle to regain its natural
wave.
