Operating Instructions

For optimal results and to create long-lasting, beautiful defined curls, follow these steps:

  1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results, apply a heat protectant spray.
  2. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide, depending on the desired curl size.
  3. Position Iron: Open the clamp and place the section of hair between the barrel and the clamp, starting near the roots or mid-shaft.
  4. Wrap Hair: Close the clamp and gently wrap the hair around the Black Gold barrel, away from your face. The 5-inch long barrel is ideal for styling longer lengths.
  5. Hold and Release: Hold the curling iron in place for a few seconds (duration depends on hair type and desired curl intensity). Release the clamp and gently slide the curling iron out, allowing the curl to fall naturally.
  6. Cool and Style: Allow curls to cool completely before touching or styling to set the curl and ensure long-lasting results.
  7. Auto Shut-Off: The curling iron features a 2-hour auto shut-off for safety and peace of mind.
