Risk of burning your hair if selected temperature is too high!
Depending on your hair type the wrongly selected temperature or improper use
of the straightener puts your hair at risk of drying out or in the worst case burning.
Listed below are the recommended temperature levels that should always
be observed:
Always select the lowest temperature level (100°C) when
using your straightener for the first time.
Select a low temperature level of approx. 120°C for
blonde, bleached or colored hair.
Select a medium (140°C) or (160°C) temperature level for
normal and slightly wavy hair.
Select a high (180°C) or (200°C) temperature level for
very thick, curly and hard to straighten hair.
