Curl in 5 easy steps

1. Begin with slightly damp hair, 80-90% dry. Detangle and section top and bottom. Choose your barrel according to the side you want to curl.
   Pro Tip: Hair that is too wet will be more difficult to curl.
2. Hold the middle of a small section of hair and allow at least 10cm of your ends to line up with the arrow on the barrel. Make sure the wand is upright and your hair is in front of the curler.
   Pro Tip: Smaller sections of hair allow for easier wrapping.
3. Turn on high heat and high air flow. The airflow will automatically pick up the ends of your hair. Move the wand towards your head as your hair wraps around the curler. Continue to use your hand to guide your hair through the barrel until it feels secure. Hold for 10 seconds.
   Pro Tip: Hair will secure after 2-3 wraps around the barrel.
4. With hair securely wrapped around the barrel as shown in step 3, press and hold the Cool Shot button for 10 seconds to lock in your curl.
   Pro Tip: Using Cool Shot allows for longer-lasting curls.
5. Turn the unit off and pull the barrel straight down to reveal your perfect curl!
