4.2 Straightening Hair
- Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Apply a heat protectant spray.
- Section Hair: Divide hair into small, manageable sections (approximately 1-2 inches wide).
- Straighten: Take one section of hair and place it between the heating plates, close to the roots. Gently clamp the plates together and glide the straightener down the hair shaft in a smooth, continuous motion. Repeat until the section is straight.
- Repeat: Continue with all sections of hair until desired straightness is achieved.
4.3 Waving and Curling Hair
The rounded outer housing of the Prima straightener allows it to function as a curling iron. Use the locking function to keep the plates closed for easier curling.
- Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Apply a heat protectant spray.
- Section Hair: Divide hair into small, manageable sections.
- Curl/Wave:
- For curls: Clamp a section of hair near the roots, then rotate the straightener 180 degrees and slowly pull it down the hair shaft.
- For waves: Use a similar technique but with a wider rotation or by alternating the direction of rotation.
- Locking Feature: Utilize the locking mechanism to keep the plates closed, transforming the straightener into a curling wand for easier manipulation.
