OPERATING TIPS
• This appliance has been designed to curl your hair, leaving it full of shine.
• Hair that has just been washed and dried can be styled better.
• The first few times you use this unit it is advisable to practice on small areas of your hair.
• The effect obtained depends on how thick and how long your hair is as well as curling time. Start by using
a curling time of 10-20 seconds.
• To make the appliance easier to use, hold the end of the accessory with your free hand.
• Use the various accessories supplied with the appliance as instructed below. If necessary, repeat the various
steps until you achieve the required effect.
• Let your hair cool completely before combing or brushing it.
• Evenly apply the hairspray over your hair to extend hold.
1. Crimper with FIat Plate
Your hair must be completely dry before using the straightener attachment. Take a section of hair and starting
from the scalp, glide the straightening plates slowly and evenly down the section of hair to smooth and
straighten. Hold the plates firmly together to ensure best results. For thicker, hard to manage hair keep the
plates held together slightly longer. Tip: When you have finished styling run a small amount of finishing product
through the hair, fattening the hair from the top and moving downwards.
2. Crimper with Wave Plate
As with the straightener, ensure that your hair is completely dry before using the crimper. Take the section of
hair and starting at the roots, hold the plates over each section for a few seconds. For a continuous ridged effect,
place the plate on the last ridge of the previous section. Leave as is for a sharp finish. For a softer effect loosen
with your fingers or brush for more volume.
3. Irons / Plate
You can get curls and ringlets with the Irons / Plate by using the appliance as a curling iron. Secure the lock
of hair by pressing it between the cylinder and the concave plate. Turn the appliance so as to wrap the lock
over then entire length of the cylinder with overlapping. The curls will be more and more compact the more force
is exercised in wrapping the lock over the iron cylinder and the longer it is set. Once the time necessary for
the set has elapsed, gently unwind the lock from the iron. To ensure longer hold of the curl, wrap it around a
finger until the hair cools down.
This accessory can also be used as a hair straightening plate (see point 1). The unusual concave shape of
the larger plate is designed to get a hairstyle with more volume, and special effects can be achieved.
