PREPARING FOR USE

USAGE
IMPORTANT: THIS PRODUCT REACHES HIGH TEMPERATURES
1. Plug into a suitable mains supply when the straightener is ready for use. There is no need to preheat the straightener. Always
place straightener on a solid, flat, heat resistant surface. Do not place straightener on any soft or uneven surfaces such as carpets,
bedding or rugs and never cover. The plates reach a high temperature quickly.
2. Add heat protection spray throughout hair for protection, shine and a long lasting style.
3. Turn the straightener on, to the desired heat setting. The power on indicator light will illuminate, and the plates will rapidly
heat up and be ready for use within seconds. Selecting the High heat setting will take marginally longer to heat than the
Low heat setting.
4. Separate a section of hair approximately 5cm in width and smooth it out with a brush.
5. Place the chosen section of hair between the plates of the straightener and close the plates. Take care not to touch the
very hot plates.
6. Hold the straightener in place until the hair is fully heated this will be almost instant. When holding the straightener always
ensure fingertips are placed away from the hot plates.
7. Once the hair is heated, holding the hair taut, carefully slide the plates along the selected section of hair, in one smooth
movement all the way down to the ends.
8. Keep the strands of hair smooth whilst you work to avoid ridges.
SAFETY CAUTIONS
1. These professional straighteners reach very high temperatures. Do not leave on your hair for more than a few seconds as this
may damage your hair.
2. Always avoid plates coming into contact with hands or skin.
3. Never cover the unit with anything, such as a towel.
4. Never place on a surface that isn't heat resistant and always position out of reach of children.
5. Never drop the straightener on to a hard surface, as this may cause permanent damage to the solid ceramic plates.
6. Do not immerse any part of the unit, cord set or plug in water or any other liquid.
7. Switch off and allow cooling fully, away from children on a heat resistant surface before cleaning and storage.
HINTS AND TIPS
1. Hair should be completely dry to achieve best results.
2. Keep the strands of hair smooth whilst you work, to avoid ridges half way down.
3. Use the LOW Setting for fine hair and everyday straightening.
4. Use the HIGH Setting for thick and difficult hair.
5. As with all straighteners that reach salon high temperatures, do not use frequently to avoid damaging your hair.
