STRAIGHTENING BASICS
1. Plug the iron into a standard electrical outlet (230V ~).
2. Slide the temperature switch to the desired setting (use the chart below as a reference).
The corresponding LED light will light up/blink. Note: The indicator light will stop blinking
when the unit reaches the selected temperature. The iron will heat up very quickly. It is
not necessary to touch the plates to judge readiness.
3. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each section. Position the iron on hair as far up as
you want hair to be straightened, being careful not to let the iron touch the scalp. Close
the iron with the hair between the two plates and gently pull the iron down to the end of
the section of hair you are straightening. Repeat this process several times if necessary.
Allow hair to cool before combing.
4. Turn off and unplug the appliance.
5. Allow to cool before storing.
TO CREATE CURLS
For your convenience, the U Curler offers various options for creating beautiful curls:
Technique 1
1. Separate a section of hair, no more than 1½” wide. The smaller the section, the more
defined the curl. The larger the section, the looser the curl or wave.
2. Place section of hair between the plates, making sure the side heating plates are facing
towards the head. Close the plates.
3. Turn the unit 90° so that the side heating plates are facing upwards.
4. It is important that the hair is held firmly between the plates. For extra control, hold the
rubberized cool tips.
5. Gently pull the iron down to the end of the section of hair in an outward curved motion
so that by the time the unit reaches the ends of the hair, the side heating plates are
facing down.
6. Release the hair.
7. To ensure the curl sits neatly in place, grab the end of the section you have just curled
and twist it 180° in the direction of the curl.
Technique 2
1. Separate a section of hair, and place it between the plates, making sure the side heating
plates are facing towards the head. Close the plates.
