4. To prepare the Iron for steam,
Press the Reservoir down 3-4
times to allow steam to flow
through the Iron. The steam
may not always be visible under
normal conditions of use. If you
hear a hissing sound, steam is
being released.
Caution: Do not leave the Iron near
plastic, easily melted or flammable
materials while the Barrel is hot.
USING THE IRON
Use only on dry hair.
For better curl control, it is
recommended to add a styling
mousse or styling spray to towel
dried hair. Thoroughly dry the hair
and proceed with curling.
1. Comb through hair and loosen
any tangles.
2. Gather a section of hair
1 inch wide. Make sure that the
section is not too thick or hair
will not curl properly.
3. Press the Lever to raise the
Hair Clamp.
4. Insert the end of the hair under
the Hair Clamp on the side
where the arrows are
facing.(Diagram D)
5. Lower the Hair Clamp to secure
the hair against the Barrel.
6. Rotate the handle counter-
clockwise to wind the
hair along the Barrel between
the guides. It is easier if you
support the Reservoir loosely
with the other hand.
7. Press the Reservoir to make
steam. Thicker hair might need
two or three presses.
8. Hold the curl in place for about
30 seconds (longer for thicker or
naturally curly hair).
9. Unwind carefully, raise the Hair
Clamp to release the hair, and
let the curl cool.
CURLING TECHNIQUE
Before Curling:
Using sections is helpful when
curling hair.
1. Begin by sectioning off a "U"
shape at the top crown of the
head and clip.
