6.3 Styling Hair
Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and detangled before styling. For best results, work with small sections of hair.
- For Straightening: Place a section of hair between the heating plates, close the plates gently, and glide the straightener slowly from roots to ends.
- For Curling: Clamp a section of hair near the roots, rotate the straightener 180 degrees, and slowly pull it through the hair, allowing the hair to wrap around the barrel.
The 3D floating ceramic plates are designed to prevent hair tangling and provide smooth styling.
