USING THE APPARATUS
This apparatus has several

water from the hair, and allows it to
evaporate through the steam apertures
(8). Naturally, it is also suitable for use
on dry hair.

open the ceramic plates (7).
2. Place the apparatus on a flat, heat-
resistant surface, and plug it in.
3. Switch on by pushing the on/off
switch (4) towards the white

button (5) repeatedly according

Styling tips
Brush hair thoroughly before setting.
Divide your hair up into small sections,
and deal with them separately piece
by piece as described below until the
desired result is achieved. Hair should
be clean before using the appliance.
Damp hair gives the best result. Do
not use on very wet hair.
Flat, smooth hair:
o Start with a lock of hair about 5
cm wide and close the flat tong’s
ceramic plates around the hair
near the scalp.
o Slowly slide the apparatus towards
the hair ends in a fluent movement.
Keep the hair tight to avoid kinks.
For more lift in the hair, smooth
only the outer part of the hair lock.

o Start with a lock of hair about 5
cm wide and close the flat tong’s
ceramic plates around the hair
near the scalp.

the hair ends.

hair a little out at the ends.
