STYLING
Start by sectioning hair into strands no more than 2 inches wide.
Keep the hair strand smooth by brushing or combing through the section while holding the ends
taut with the other hand. Taking one section at a time, place the ends of hair over the barrel with
the clamp open. Then close the clamp, making sure that the ends extend just a tiny bit beyond the
clamp. Grasp the cool safety tip with the other hand to roll hair. Keep the section of hair taut as you
wind it around the hot barrel by slowly turning the handle. Wind the curl toward your scalp as far as
you wish to go without touching scalp with the hot barrel.
Hold the curl in place for up to 8 to 12 seconds for tight curls or if hair is hard to curl. Hold for less
time if hair is easy to curl, or if you want loose curls or just waves. When you are ready to release
curl, unwind about half a turn (for longer hair, unwind a bit more) and push down on the clamp
release lever to open the clamp. Now, gently withdraw the barrel from the centre of curl. Allow curl
to cool and comb hair into the style you wish.
Styling tip: For bouncy, flip-up curls, the clamp should be UNDER and the barrel OVER the section of
hair at the start of curl. For curl-under, page-boy styles, the clamp should be OVER and the barrel
UNDER the hair section at the start of curl.
For tousled hair: Create soft, tousled waves by curling each hair section in a random direction. Then
bend your head forwards, shake and gently scrunch hair with fingers. Bring head back to position
and repeat for fullest volume.
Spirals: Wind up a section of hair holding the spiral iron vertically for up to 8 to 12 seconds for tight
curls or if hair is hard to curl. Hold for less time if hair is easy to curl. When you are ready to release
curl, unwind slowly; gently withdraw the barrel from the centre of curl. Allow curl to cool, and try
not to disturb curls as you proceed in the same manner around whole head.
