- Heat Up: Allow the curling iron to heat for approximately 30 seconds until the selected temperature is reached.
- Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Section your hair using the provided clips. For best results, work with small to medium sections.
- Curling Technique:
- Wearing the heat-resistant glove, open the clamp and place a section of hair between the barrel and the clamp, starting a few inches from the roots.
- Close the clamp and slowly glide the iron down the hair section, rotating it away from your face to create a curl.
- Hold for 5-10 seconds, depending on your hair type and desired curl intensity.
- Release the clamp and gently slide the iron out, allowing the curl to fall.
- For a softer wave, gently pull the hair straight as you release. For tighter curls, hold longer and allow the curl to cool before touching.
- Repeat for all sections of hair.
- Finish Styling: Once all hair is curled, allow the curls to cool completely before brushing or running fingers through them to set the style.
- Power Off: Press and hold the power button to turn off the appliance. The curling iron will automatically shut off after 60 minutes of inactivity.
