The Basics -
Preparation for all hair types.
•
Before using your InStyler, you should always start with
clean, dry hair.
•
You should also
detangle
first with a brush, and all sections should be
combed out for optimal results and shine.
•
Sections of hair to be styled should be no wider than the length of the
InStyler barrel. We recommend starting with
1 to 3 inch sections at a time
for whichever style you want to achieve.
•
Style the under layers of your hair first.
After under layers are completed,
style your top layers.
•
You may use any
salon quality
styling product with your InStyler, however
we do not recommend the use of any oil-based products with your InStyler
•
For better hold, you can use your favorite light styling spray on each sec-
tion of hair before using your InStyler.
•
Go Slowly!
The most important lesson is to glide the InStyler
slowly.
Don’t
worry if you see “steam” coming off of your hair when using your InStyler.
This is not the result of any damage to the hair, it is simply excess moisture
that is evaporating.
Hair Types
The way you use your InStyler depends on what type of hair you have. You’ll get
the most out of your InStyler if you use the techniques best suited to your hair type.
The three main types of hair are:
1.
Fine
- Set the InStyler at Low to Medium heat setting. With fine hair, you
should only need 1 to 2 passes with the InStyler to achieve your desired
results. For finer hair use less tension and glide the InStyler through your
hair more quickly for best results.
2.
Medium or Normal
- Set your InStyler to the Medium to High heat setting.
You should only need 1 to 2 passes with the InStyler to achieve your desired
results.
3.
Thick or Coarse
- Set your InStyler at the highest heat setting and style as
desired. With coarse hair, 2 to 3 passes with the InStyler should be enough
to set your style.
Don’t rush!
Take your time and move slowly through the hair.
NOTE: For colour treated hair, we also recommend a lightweight sham-
poo and a light leave-in conditioner.
•
Volumizing products can be used to hold the style.
•
To hold your style, end with a professional light finishing spray.
•
Although the InStyler uses less heat than other hair appliances,
we recommend using thermal protectant products before use.
