2 How to Use

Before Use:

• Only use the brush on dry hair.
• Bristles are hot. Do not touch the bristles or place them too close to hair roots or scalp to avoid burns.
• Some parts of the brush may be hot. Hold the product by its handle.
• Remove fingers when the brush is close to hair ends to avoid touching the bristles.
• Do not wash the brush under running water.

Steps:

Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 for visual guidance.

1. Connect the plug to a power supply socket.
2. Comb hair thoroughly and divide it into small sections.
3. Slide the temperature switch (a) to select your desired setting according to the table:
   • Thin / Medium hair: 170°C
   • Thick hair: 200°C
4. The indicator (b) will blink until the appliance is ready for use.

To straighten your hair (Fig. 3):

1. Use a round brush or comb to detangle hair before using.
2. Select a section of hair. Place the heated brush (c) underneath the hair strand with bristles facing upwards, about 3cm away from hair roots.
3. Hold the selected hair section taut. Slide the brush slowly down to the hair ends in a single motion, slightly turning the brush as you reach the ends to give soft flicks.
4. Allow the hair section to cool for 2-3 seconds. With the brush facing downwards, hold the hair taut and slowly slide down to the hair ends in a single motion without stopping.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 as necessary until desired results are achieved.
6. To turn off the appliance, slide the switch (a) to O.
7. Let hair sections cool down before finger-combing into the final style. For long-lasting results, mist with hairspray.

Tips and Tricks:

• Flatten the selected hair section between fingers before placing on the brush so hair is spread evenly.
• Place selected hair as close as possible to the heated base of the brush to ensure good contact for better styling results.

After Use:

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Place it on a heat-resistant surface until it cools down.
3. Clean the appliance and bristles with a damp cloth. Use fingers to remove hair or dust from the brush.
4. Store in a safe, dry, dust-free place. You can also hang it using the hanging loop (d).
