5. Operating Instructions
Pre-Styling Preparation:
- Ensure your hair is completely dry before using the curling brush.
- Brush out any tangles to ensure smooth styling.
- For best results and heat protection, apply a heat protectant spray to your hair.
- Divide your hair into manageable sections. Smaller sections generally yield more defined curls.
Curling Technique:
- Take a section of hair and place the curling brush near the roots, ensuring the hair is positioned between the bristles and the barrel.
- Press the 'wind up' button to gently wrap the hair around the barrel. The automatic rotation will guide the hair.
- Hold the hair in place for a few seconds (adjust time based on desired curl tightness and hair type). The anti-scald bristles allow for closer contact without burning.
- Release the hair by pressing the 'wind down' button or gently pulling the brush downwards.
- Repeat the process for all sections of hair.
- Once all hair is curled and has cooled, you may gently loosen the curls with your fingers for a softer look.
- Optionally, set your curls with hairspray for longer-lasting hold.
