Curling Your Hair:

1. Section clean, dry hair into manageable strands.
2. Open the clamp and place a section of hair between the barrel and the clamp, starting near the roots.
3. Close the clamp and wrap the hair around the extended barrel, ensuring even distribution. For a curling wand effect, you can wrap hair around the barrel without using the clamp.
4. Hold for 5-8 seconds, or longer for tighter curls, depending on your hair type and desired result.
5. Release the clamp and gently slide the curling iron out of the hair.
6. Repeat until all sections of hair are curled.
7. Allow curls to cool completely before touching or styling to set the shape.

• Wipe the barrel and handle with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Ensure the appliance is completely dry before storing.

7. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not heating: Ensure the curling iron is properly plugged into a working outlet and the power button has been pressed and held to turn it on. Check if the temperature setting is selected.
• Curls not holding: Ensure you are using the correct temperature for your hair type. Hold the hair around the barrel for the recommended duration (5-8 seconds). Allow curls to cool completely before disturbing them.
• Hair snagging: Ensure hair is thoroughly detangled before curling. The Nano Titanium barrel is designed for smooth gliding, but excessive tangles can still cause snagging.
