  1. Section Hair: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections (approximately 1-2 inches wide).
  2. Position Iron: Clamp the styling iron near the roots of a section, ensuring hair is evenly distributed between the plates.
  3. Glide Down: Gently glide the iron down the hair section from root to tip in one smooth, continuous motion. The vibrating plates will assist in this process.
  4. Repeat: Repeat for all sections until desired straightness is achieved. For very thick or coarse hair, multiple passes may be necessary, but try to minimize passes to protect hair.
