How to use

Begin with clean, dry or towel-dried hair and apply a heat-protectant product if desired. Set the temperature appropriate to your hair type and allow the straightener to reach the selected heat. Work in small sections, placing the ceramic-coated plates close to the roots and gliding the tool gently to the ends in a single smooth motion for best results. For softer waves, twist the wrist slightly while sliding the plates through the hair. Turn the device off and allow it to cool before storing.

Usage recommendations

Use lower temperature settings for fine or damaged hair and higher settings for thick or coarse hair. Always use a heat-protectant product to reduce thermal stress, and avoid repeated passes over the same section to limit damage.
