Operating Instructions
Before styling, ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results and heat protection, apply a heat protectant spray to your hair.
- Power On: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the handle and slide it to the 'ON' position. The digital display will illuminate.
- Set Temperature: Use the temperature control dial to select your desired heat setting. The digital display will show the temperature, which can range up to 450°F (232°C). Allow a few moments for the iron to reach the selected temperature.
- Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide, depending on the desired curl size.
- Curl Hair: Open the clamp, place a section of hair between the barrel and the clamp, close the clamp, and wrap the hair around the barrel, away from your face. Hold for a few seconds (the exact time depends on your hair type and desired curl intensity).
- Release Curl: Gently open the clamp and release the curled section of hair. For longer-lasting curls, allow the curl to cool completely before touching or brushing.
- Repeat: Continue curling all sections of your hair.
- Power Off: Once finished, slide the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug the appliance from the outlet.
