Operating Instructions
Basic Operation
- Ensure your hair is dry and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
- Divide your hair into manageable sections. The size of the section will influence the tightness of the curl.
- Open the clamp by pressing the ergonomic lever.
- Place a section of hair under the clamp, close to the root, ensuring the ends are securely held.
- Wrap the hair around the barrel, away from your face, ensuring the hair lies flat against the barrel without overlapping.
- Hold for 5-8 seconds, depending on your hair type and desired curl intensity.
- Release the clamp and gently slide the curling iron out, allowing the curl to fall naturally.
- Repeat for all sections of hair. Allow curls to cool completely before styling or brushing for longer-lasting results.
Styling Tips

- For added volume, curl hair in alternating directions (towards and away from the face).
- To protect your hair and enhance curl longevity, always use a ghd heat protect spray before styling.
