3. Setup

  1. Unpack: Carefully remove the straightening brush and all accessories from the packaging. Ensure all components are present and undamaged.
  2. Inspect: Before first use, inspect the appliance for any visible damage to the cord, plug, or brush head. Do not use if damaged.
  3. Plug In: Plug the appliance into a suitable electrical outlet. The LED display will illuminate.
  4. Power On: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the handle) for a few seconds until the display shows a temperature.
  5. Select Temperature: Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the temperature to your desired setting. Refer to the 'Operating Instructions' for guidance on temperature selection. The Smart Heat Memory System will remember your last used setting for future use.

4. Operating Instructions

For best results, ensure your hair is completely dry before using the REVLON SmoothStay XL Hair Straightening Brush.

  1. Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. Apply a heat protectant spray evenly throughout your hair.
  2. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, approximately 1-2 inches wide. Secure the upper sections with clips.
  3. Select Heat Setting: Turn on the brush and select the appropriate heat setting for your hair type using the '+' and '-' buttons.
    • Lower temperatures (e.g., 310°F - 350°F) for fine or chemically treated hair.
    • Medium temperatures (e.g., 350°F - 400°F) for normal hair.
    • Higher temperatures (e.g., 400°F - 430°F) for thick or coarse hair.
  4. Brush Hair: Take one section of hair and slowly brush it from root to tip. Ensure the hair passes through the bristles. For better control, hold the ends of the hair section taut.
  5. Repeat: Repeat step 4 on the same section until desired smoothness is achieved. Typically, 1-3 passes are sufficient.
  6. Continue Styling: Move to the next section of hair and repeat the process until all sections are styled.
  7. Finish: Once styling is complete, press and hold the power button to turn off the appliance. Unplug the brush from the outlet and allow it to cool completely before storing.

5. Maintenance

  1. Cleaning: Ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
  2. Bristle Care: Periodically remove any hair tangled in the bristles. A small brush or comb can be used to gently clear debris.
  3. Storage: Store the brush in a cool, dry place, away from moisture. Do not wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this can cause damage. Use the hanging ring for convenient storage.
