- Step 1: Select a small section of hair. The size of the hair section will vary based on hair density. Slide the hair section between the plates. Ensure the hair slides between the plates without resistance.
- Step 2: Gently press the plates together with your fingertips and immediately begin gliding the iron down the section of hair in one continuous motion, from root to tip.
