1. Unpack: Carefully remove the hair straightener and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the appliance for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Placement: Place the straightener on a heat-resistant, flat surface. Ensure there is enough space around the appliance and that it is not near water.
4. Plug In: Insert the power plug into a suitable electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled before use. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.

1. Power On: Press and hold the power button until the display illuminates.
2. Select Temperature: Use the touch temperature selector to choose your desired heat setting between 160°C and 230°C. Lower temperatures are suitable for fine or damaged hair, while higher temperatures are for thick or coarse hair. The ultra-fast heating system will reach the selected temperature quickly.
3. Styling Hair:
   • Separate a small section of hair (approximately 1-2 inches wide).
   • Place the section of hair between the titanium plates, close to the roots. The 3D floating plates will ensure even pressure.
   • Gently glide the straightener down the hair section from root to tip in one smooth motion. Do not hold the straightener in one place for too long to avoid heat damage.
   • Repeat the process for all sections of hair until desired style is achieved. The real ion technology helps to reduce frizz and leave hair smooth.
4. Power Off: After styling, press and hold the power button to turn off the appliance.
5. Cool Down: Unplug the straightener and allow it to cool completely on a heat-resistant surface before storing.
