Styling Your Hair:
- Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and detangled. For best results and protection, apply a heat protectant spray.
- Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide.
- Straightening:
- Take one section of hair and place it between the titanium plates, close to the roots.
- Gently close the plates and glide the flat iron slowly and steadily down the hair section, from root to tip.
- The 3D floating plates will adapt to your hair's thickness, ensuring even pressure and preventing snagging.
- Repeat on all sections until desired straightness is achieved.
- Curling (Optional):
- For curls, clamp a section of hair near the roots, then rotate the flat iron 180 degrees away from your face.
- Slowly pull the iron down the hair shaft, maintaining the rotation. The rounded edges of the StyleQ facilitate smooth curling.
- Red Light and Negative Ions: The integrated red light therapy and negative ion technology work during styling to help reduce damage, enhance shine, and minimize frizz.
