Styling Tips
amika’s The Confidante is to only be used on dry hair.
Straight
Divide your hair and place in clips. Take about a two inch section of hair, gently
clamp The Confidante as close to the scalp as possible and pull slowly and
evenly down to the ends of the hair. It is better to go slower and glide through
the section of hair rather than going fast and having to go over the same section
multiple times.
Curly
Take a section of hair at the root and begin rotating The Confidante 360°. Once
rotated, pull The Confidante through the length of the hair. For looser curls, pull
The Confidante through the hair faster. For tighter curls, go slower.
Volume
Take a section of hair at the root area and gently clamp the styler. Then give
the styler a half turn and pull in the opposite direction to give a life and create
volume.
Flips
Take a section of hair between the plates starting at the root area. Glide the
styler through the hair until you get to the area that you want to flip out or under.
Then begin to flip the styler out or under about 180° to less – depending on the
size of the flip you want to achieve.
