Hair Straightening

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Section Hair: Divide hair into small, manageable sections (approximately 1-2 inches wide).
3. Straighten: Take one section of hair and place it between the plates of the iron, close to the roots. Gently clamp the plates together and glide the iron slowly down the entire length of the hair, from roots to ends. Do not stop the iron in one place to avoid heat damage.
4. Repeat: Repeat this process for all sections of hair until desired straightness is achieved.

Hair Curling

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Apply a heat protectant.
2. Section Hair: Divide hair into small, manageable sections.
3. Curl: Take one section of hair and clamp the iron near the roots. Rotate the iron 180 degrees away from your face, then slowly pull it down the hair shaft. The rounded edges of the iron will create a curl.
4. Release: Release the hair from the iron and allow the curl to cool before touching it to set the style.
5. Repeat: Repeat for all sections.
