This new TRESemmé Philips SalonStraight Breeze straightener protects your hair
against heat damage. It has a unique active cooling system that gently blows cool air
onto your hair after straightening. This cool air removes the residual heat which could
damage your hair and fixes your style. With the new SalonStraight Breeze you can
straighten your hair without compromising its condition.

Using the appliance
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care. As with all
straighteners that reach salon-high temperatures, do not use the appliance frequently
to avoid damage to the hair.
If you use the straightener incorrectly or at a wrong temperature setting, you could
overheat your hair or even burn it. Always make sure you select a temperature setting
that is suitable for your hair type.
