Operating Instructions

   • For straightening, pull the brush through the hair section slowly and smoothly.
4. Utilize Cool Tip: Use the cool tip at the end of the brush for safe and easy handling during styling.
5. Finish Styling: Continue styling section by section until your desired look is achieved.
