- Adjust the temperature using the '+' and '-' buttons. The display will show the current temperature. Allow the wand to heat up to your desired setting.
- To adjust the barrel size, grasp the rotating cool tip and twist it. Twist in one direction for the 1-inch barrel and the opposite direction for the 1.5-inch barrel. You will hear a click when it locks into place.
- Put on the heat-resistant glove on the hand you will use to wrap hair around the barrel.
5. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to curl your hair:
- Separate a section of hair, typically 1-2 inches wide, depending on the desired curl intensity.
- Hold the curling wand with the barrel pointing downwards.
- Using your gloved hand, wrap the section of hair around the heated barrel, starting from the base of the wand and wrapping towards the cool tip. Ensure the hair is evenly distributed around the barrel.
- Hold the hair in place for approximately 5-10 seconds. The exact time may vary based on your hair type, desired curl, and chosen temperature setting. Thicker hair or tighter curls may require slightly longer.
- Carefully release the hair from the barrel by unwrapping it or gently pulling the wand downwards, allowing the curl to slide off.
- For best results, allow the curl to cool completely before touching or brushing it. This helps to set the curl.
- Repeat the process for all sections of hair.
- Once all hair is curled and cooled, gently run your fingers through the curls or use a wide-tooth comb or brush to achieve your desired style (e.g., loose waves or defined curls).
