5. Operating Instructions

Always ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles before styling. For best results and heat protection, apply a heat protectant spray to your hair.

5.1. Straightening Hair

1. Section Hair: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections (about 1-inch wide).
2. Position Iron: Take one section of hair and place it between the styling plates, close to the roots.
3. Glide Down: Gently close the plates and glide the iron slowly and steadily down the hair section from root to tip. Do not hold the iron in one place for too long to avoid heat damage.
4. Repeat: Repeat the process on all sections of hair until desired straightness is achieved.

The unique design of the Prima2000 allows its outer housing to heat up, enabling you to create curls and waves.

1. Section Hair: Divide your hair into small, manageable sections.
2. Wrap Hair: Take one section of hair and wrap it around the heated outer barrel of the iron. You may use the included thermal glove for protection.
3. Hold and Release: Hold the hair around the barrel for a few seconds (adjusting based on hair type and desired curl intensity), then gently release.
4. Repeat: Continue on all sections of hair. For softer waves, gently brush through the curls after they cool.
