Before first use, ensure the appliance is properly set up.

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the waver from its packaging and discard all packing materials.
2. Inspect: Check the appliance and cord for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Power Connection: Ensure the power cord is untangled and plug the waver into a suitable electrical outlet. This appliance is designed for 120V AC.

5. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to achieve desired waves with your BaBylissPRO Triple Barrel Waver.

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry, and free of tangles. For best results and protection, apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Select Temperature: Turn the waver ON and select the desired heat setting using the temperature dial. Refer to the 'Temperature Styling Gauge' below for guidance based on your hair type.
3. Heat Up: Allow the waver to heat up. The LED indicator light will signal when the appliance has reached the selected temperature and is ready for use.
4. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide.
5. Create Waves: Starting from the root or mid-shaft, place a section of hair between the barrels and gently clamp down for a few seconds (3-5 seconds, depending on hair type and desired wave intensity).
6. Continue Styling: Release the clamp and move the waver down the same section of hair, overlapping the last wave to create a continuous pattern. Repeat this process for all sections of hair.
7. Cool Down: Allow the waves to cool completely before touching or styling further to set the shape.
8. Finish: Once cooled, gently separate waves with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb for a softer look, or leave as is for more defined waves.
