General Usage:
- Ensure hair is clean and completely dry before styling.

- Section your hair into manageable portions.
- Press the power button to turn on the styler. Wait for the styler to reach its operating temperature (indicated by a continuous sound and solid light).
Styling Techniques:
The ghd Platinum+ Styler is versatile for creating various looks:
- For Straight Hair: Place the styler parallel to a section of hair, close the plates gently, and glide smoothly from roots to ends in one continuous pass.
- For Curls or Waves: Place the styler at the root of a hair section, close the plates, and rotate the styler 360° away from your face as you glide it down the hair shaft. The rounded barrel design facilitates effortless curling.

Automatic Shut-off:
For safety and energy conservation, the ghd Platinum+ Styler features an automatic sleep mode. If left unattended for 30 minutes, it will automatically switch off.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the styler is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the ceramic plates and the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Always allow the styler to cool down completely before storing. Use the provided protective plate guard to prevent damage to the plates. Store in a dry, safe place, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
- Cord Care: Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the styler, as this can damage the cord. Store the cord loosely coiled.
