Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the ghd Curve Tapered Wand from its packaging. Retain the instruction manual for future reference.
2. Plug In: Insert the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

For optimal results and hair protection, ensure your hair is completely dry before styling. Consider applying a heat protectant spray, such as ghd Curl Hold Spray, to enhance curl longevity and protect hair from heat.

1. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, approximately 1-2 inches wide, depending on the desired curl tightness.
2. Position the Wand: Hold the wand with the tapered end pointing downwards.
3. Wrap Hair: Starting from the root, wrap a section of hair around the barrel, ensuring the hair lies flat against the ceramic surface. Leave approximately 0.5 to 1 inch of the hair ends unwrapped for a more natural, beachy wave effect.
4. Hold and Release: Hold the hair in place for 5-8 seconds. The precise time may vary based on hair type and desired curl intensity. Gently release the hair from the barrel.
5. Cool and Set: Allow the newly formed curl to cool completely before touching or brushing it. This helps to set the curl and ensure long-lasting results.
6. Repeat: Continue this process for all sections of your hair.
7. Finish: Once all hair is curled and cooled, gently run your fingers through the curls to loosen them for a softer look, or leave them as is for more defined curls.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the wand is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the ceramic barrel with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the cooled wand in a safe, dry place, away from moisture and direct heat. Ensure the cord is not tightly wrapped around the appliance to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the power button is pressed. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Hair getting caught: The ghd Curve Tapered Wand is designed with a smooth ceramic barrel to minimize snagging. Ensure hair sections are detangled before wrapping and avoid wrapping hair too close to the base of the wand where the barrel meets the handle.
• Curls not holding: Ensure hair is completely dry before styling. Use a heat protectant and curl hold spray. Allow curls to cool completely before disturbing them.
