4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to achieve desired curls and waves:

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is dry and detangled. Section your hair into manageable portions, typically 1-2 inches wide.
2. Clamp Hair: Open the clamp and secure the ends of a hair section near the bottom of the barrel. The small, beveled no-kink clamp is designed to hold hair securely without creasing.
3. Initiate Rotation: Press the 'L' (left) or 'R' (right) arrow button to start the barrel rotation. The iron will automatically wrap the hair around the barrel. You control the rotation speed with the adjustable speed settings.
4. Hold and Release: Hold the hair around the barrel for 2-3 seconds. Release the arrow button to stop rotation. Open the clamp and gently slide the iron out to release the curl.
5. Repeat: Continue this process for all sections of your hair. For a more natural look, alternate the rotation direction ('L' and 'R') for different sections.
6. Cool Down: Allow curls to cool completely before touching or styling to ensure they set properly.

Achieving Different Curl Types

• Loose Waves: Use larger sections of hair and a lower temperature setting. Hold for a shorter duration.
• Defined Curls: Use smaller sections of hair and a higher temperature setting. Hold for a slightly longer duration.
• The 1.25-inch ceramic barrel is ideal for creating voluminous, loose curls or roller-set waves, especially for long hair.
