Straightening Hair
- Section your hair into manageable portions, approximately 1-2 inches wide.
- Place a section of hair between the titanium plates, close to the roots.
- Hold the iron horizontally and gently glide it down the hair section from roots to ends in one smooth, continuous motion. Avoid stopping or holding the iron in one place for too long to prevent heat damage.
- Repeat on all sections until desired straightness is achieved.

Creating Curls or Waves
- Section your hair as you would for straightening.
- For curls, place a section of hair between the plates, close to the roots.
- Rotate the iron 180 degrees away from your face, then gently glide it down the hair section to the ends. The speed of the glide will determine the tightness of the curl.
- For waves, use a similar technique but with a slightly looser rotation and faster glide.
- Repeat on all sections.
