Auto-Wrap Curlers

Recommended Setting: ? Air, ?️ Temp

Create beautiful curls effortlessly:

1. Begin with slightly damp hair. Separate the top and bottom sections of your hair. Pro Tip: Apply hair products or styling agents as desired.
2. Select the direction of the curls by choosing the corresponding barrel: Left Barrel (Recommended for left side of head, Counterclockwise Curl) or Right Barrel (Recommended for right side of head, Clockwise Curl).
3. Hold the middle of a ½-inch-to-1-inch section of hair. Let the ends dangle. Pro tip: Grab a section of hair that is a consistent length.
4. Turn on the styling wand. Bring the barrel behind the dangling ends. The ends will automatically wrap around the barrel - no need to manually wrap.
5. Once the ends wrap, let go of the hair section and slowly bring the barrel directly to the roots, allowing the hair to continue to wrap itself around the barrel. No need to twist the wand.
6. For best results and to avoid heat damage, hold the barrel in place for 10 seconds, then press and hold the Cool Shot button ❄️ for at least 10 seconds. Repeat as needed until hair is dry. Turn off the styling wand and pull the barrel straight down to reveal your curl! Pro Tip: Use a setting or holding spray as desired for an even longer-lasting look.

Additional Styling Tips:

• Take smaller sections and make sure your hair isn't too wet if it is having difficulty wrapping around the barrel.
• Use sectioning clips to prevent unwanted hair from being wrapped around the barrel.
• Test different moisture levels to understand the level of moisture that works best for your hair type.
• For curly or coily hair, prep your hair for curling by lengthening it using the paddle brush or oval brush.

Oval Brush

Recommended Setting: ? Air, ?️ Temp

Achieve voluminous, smooth styles:

1. Begin with rough-dried or towel-dried hair. Pro Tip: Apply hair products or styling agents as desired.
2. Section your hair as desired. For voluminous blowouts, start by placing the round brush under the hair close to the roots. Pro Tip: For even more volume, hold the brush under your hair close to the roots for 3 seconds before brushing outwards.
3. Roll the brush outwards from the roots to the ends to engage the bristles and gently grip the hair. Pro Tip: For extra volume, brush your hair in an upward direction.
4. Repeat on remaining sections until hair has been dried into a bouncy, voluminous style. Pro Tip: Set your style and help reduce frizz by pressing the Cool Shot button ❄️.

Additional Styling Tips:

• If you have fine hair, try reducing the airflow to help cut down on frizz.
• If you have thick hair, try increasing the heat for even faster results.
• If you have curly or coily hair, try increasing the heat to help achieve a straighter style.
• For an added curl, place the brush under the ends of the hair and roll the brush towards the roots to engage the bristles. Twist the hair off the brush to release the curl.

4. Repeat on remaining sections until hair has been dried into a smooth, straight style. Pro Tip: Set your style and help reduce frizz by pressing the Cool Shot button ❄️.

Additional Styling Tips:
