Hair Straightening Process

Achieve smooth, frizz-free results with the following steps:

  1. Ensure your hair is dry and detangled.
  2. Section your hair into manageable portions, ideally 1.5-inch sections. For thick hair, smaller sections may be necessary.
  3. Select the appropriate temperature setting for your hair type.
  4. Slowly glide the brush through each section of hair from root to tip. The T-GLOSS ceramic coated teeth are designed to reduce friction and minimize damage.
  5. Repeat the gliding motion 2-3 times per section until desired straightness is achieved.
  6. The brush releases 50 million negative ions during use, which helps to reduce static and frizz, leaving your hair smooth and shiny.
