Use
W
Risk of burns!
Never allow appliance to come into contact
with skin (scalp or ears).
You can not only use the straightener to get
smooth hair, you can also create curls and
waves, or apply it to the roots of the hair for
extra volume.
■ The appliance is primarily suitable for
short or medium-length hair, or for fresh-
ening up individual sections.
■ Use the appliance only on dry hair.
Note:
Fine hair responds particularly quickly
to the treatment with the heating plates.
The even heat emission of the heating
plates is especially gentle on the hair.
The result is smooth hair with an intensive,
silky shine.
Important:
Never apply in one place for
longer than 2 seconds.
Straightening your hair
(Figures
A
)
■ Comb the hair and section it into even
strands.
■ Starting from the roots, place a strand of
hair between the plates (Figure
a
).
■ Press the plates together and pull down
gently and evenly toward the ends of the
hair (Figure
b
).
■ Treat all strands in the same manner.
Allow hair to cool completely before
styling.
Tip:
For shoulder-length hair, each strand
should take about 10 seconds.
Curling your hair
(Figures
B
)
Divide your dry hair into equal sections. The
finer the strand, the tighter the curl.
■ Hold the hair straightener level, place the
strand of hair between the heating plates
and close them.
■ Rotate the smoothing attachment through
180° and place the strand of hair once
around the external heated surface.
■ Press the plates firmly together and pull
the straightener down to the ends of the
hair at a steady pace.
■ Now open the plates.
N.B.:
Make sure that the curl is not pulled
straight when removing the straightener.
Tip for a longer lasting hair style:
Roll up
the curl when it’s still hot and fix with a hair
clip until cool.
