Preparation and Use
Ensure the device is placed on a flat, heat-resistant surface and connected to the appropriate mains voltage. Switch the device on using the designated switch; the control light will illuminate, indicating that the straightening plates are heating up. The device is typically ready for use within approximately one minute.
For optimal results, hair must be completely dry. Comb hair to detangle using a wide-tooth comb. Section hair into strands no wider than 3-4 cm. Place a strand between the heated plates and close them gently. Move the straightener smoothly from the root to the tip of the hair strand, maintaining continuous motion. Avoid holding the device in one spot for more than two seconds to prevent hair damage. The flexible plate design allows for easy gliding. For better stability during use, hold the device with your free hand on the cool touch areas.
Adjust the temperature using the regulator: higher temperatures are recommended for thicker hair, while lower temperatures are suitable for finer hair. The higher the temperature setting, the faster the straightening effect.
