The hair straightener is recommended for use on very curly hair. You will get better results than with a normal
hair straightener.
-
Do not use a normal hair straightener on wet hair.
-
Do not be alarmed if you hear a slight noise (hissing) or see steam. This is due to excess water
evaporating when the plates of the hair straightener come into contact with hair previously dried with
a towel. It is completely normal. The hair straightener has been tested using modern technology and
the results show that when it is used on damp hair the hair remains in good condition and is not
damaged.
Step 1 - Preparing the hair
-
Wash and condition your hair in the normal way.
-
Dry your hair fairly well, making sure that it is not too damp.
-
If you wish, use a spray or oil to protect your hair against the heat.
Step 2 - Getting ready to use the hair straightener
-
Plug in the hair straightener. The red indicator light will be illuminated.
-
After approximately 30 seconds, the red indicator light will change to green, indicating that the hair
straightener has reached a suitable temperature and is ready for use.
-
Adjust the temperature as preferred. 140º is recommended for fine, broken or fragile hair and 220º is
recommended for thick or difficult to straighten hair. For normal hair an intermediate temperature can
be used.
Step 3 - Using the hair straightener
-
Divide the hair into equal sections using hair clips/ hair grips (not included) and get ready to straighten
the lower parts of the hair first.
-
Starting at the base of the neck, put a section of hair between the plates, making sure that the ventilation
holes in the upper part of the hair straightener are not directed towards the face or the scalp. Remember:
the smaller the sections of hair that are in the hair straightener the better the results will be.
-
Close the plates and immediately slide them downwards (in a smooth movement from the root to the
ends).
-
When the water from hair that was previously towel dried comes into contact with the hot plates, you will
hear a loud hissing and perhaps see a little steam. This is normal. It is the sound of the excess water
in your hair evaporating and it will not harm your hair.
-
The water acts as a barrier between your hair and the heat and ensures that the cuticle is closed before
being straightened.
-
Continue sliding the plates over the sections of hair until the desired level of straightening and drying is
achieved. When the hair is very thick, it is worthwhile repeating the process.
Step 4 - Finishing touches
-
Repeat the straightening process, starting from the area at the base of the neck and then continuing
upwards to other layers until all of your hair has been straightened.
-
If you wish, turn the hair straightener at the ends of long hair so as to turn the ends either under or
out.
-
When you have finished straightening your hair, comb it in the usual way using your normal hair
products.
-
If the roots are slightly damp, or to give more volume to the roots, lean your head forward and dry it
carefully with a hair dryer. Put your head up again and smooth your hair well with a hair brush with
natural bristles.
