The curved plates release a cool shot
that sets the curl.
• Remove the i curl and use your
fingers to twist the section again
so that it takes its natural position.
(12)
• Repeat if necessary.
• You may wish to set the curls using
a light misting of hairspray.
To straighten your hair
For straightening only, the position
of the curved plates is no longer
important.
If your hair is healthy, set the unit at the
ideal temperature for straightening,
230°C. Otherwise, select a lower
temperature.
• Separate your hair into sections.
Clip the upper sections to the top
of your head so that you can work
with the sections underneath.
• Take up a section about 2 to 3cm
wide and place it between the 2
heating plates, near the roots of
your hair.
• Press the straightener handles, hold
firmly to keep the section and slide
the unit slowly down the section
from roots to tips.
• Take up a new section and continue
in this way until all your hair is
straightened.
• Repeat if necessary, then release
the straighteners.
• Complete the style with a finishing
touch. You may wish to set the
straightening using a light misting
of hairspray.
To shape your hair
The BaByliss i curl can also be used
to accent certain sections (fringe,
flip, etc.) and lift the roots.
• To lift the roots, take up a section
and hold it vertically from your
scalp. Then place the unit as closely
as possible to the roots, close the
plates on the section and rotate
the unit toward the front to give
as much volume to the roots as
possible. Hold for a few seconds,
then slowly straighten from the
roots to the tips.
• To shape your hair with the
tips pointing under, follow the
instructions above but turn the unit
under (as you would a brush when
blow-drying). Hold in place for a
few seconds and release.
• To turn the points outwards, follow
the same steps but turn in the other
direction.
• After use, press the O button and
unplug the unit.
• Allow the unit to cool on the heat-
resistant mat provided for this.
Automatic shut off
If the straightener remains on for
over 1hr, it turns off automatically.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF
YOUR STRAIGHTENER
• Unplug the unit and allow it to cool
completely.
• Clean the plates using a soft, damp
cloth, without detergent, to preser-
ve the optimal quality of the plates.
Do not scratch the plates.
• Store the straighteners with the
plates pressed together to protect
them.
