Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to achieve desired S-wave hairstyles.
- Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
- Power On: Press the "on/off" button to switch on the styler. The indicator light will illuminate.
- Set Temperature: Use the temperature control buttons (+/-) to select your desired heat setting. The maximum temperature is 200°C. Allow the styler to heat up for approximately 50 seconds.
- Section Hair: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections, about 1-2 inches wide.
- Style:
- Open the styling plates and place a section of hair between them, close to the roots.
- Gently clamp the hair, ensuring the S-wave shape of the plates creates the desired pattern.
- Hold for a few seconds (typically 5-10 seconds, depending on hair type and desired wave intensity).
- Release the hair and move the styler down to the next section of the same strand, overlapping slightly to create a continuous wave.
- Repeat this process along the entire length of the hair section.

- Finish: Once all sections are styled, allow your hair to cool completely before touching or brushing to set the waves. You may apply a light hairspray for extra hold.
- Power Off: Press the "on/off" button to switch off the styler and unplug it from the power outlet.
