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 cold end (10) of the iron with your free hand.
• If necessary, repeat the various steps until you achieve the required effect.
• To obtain ringlets and curls, insert the end of a lock of hair between the iron and the hair clip (8) and
rotate the appliance to wind the entire lock over the complete length of the iron without overlapping.
The greater the force you apply to wind your hair on the iron, and the longer the curling time, the
tighter the resulting curls will be. At the end of the curling time, open the hair clip (8) and carefully
remove your hair from the iron. To increase the duration of the curl, wind it around one of your
fingers while waiting for it to cool.
• Let your hair cool completely before combing or brushing it.
