Preparing for use

Washing your hair

Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine can help to achieve this.

1 Wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.
2 Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair.
3 Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull up long hair onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
4 Massage your scalp with your fingertips. This stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.
5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair. Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.

Drying your hair

To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for straightening. Dry your hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth finish.

1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle the hair gently from the roots to the tips.
2 Divide the hair into sections using clips. Start at the back.
3 To dry each section, pull a straightening brush down the hair length. Follow the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing towards the hair ends.
4 When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the cool setting for a final cool shot. This closes the cuticles and adds shine to the hair.

Tip: Philips Salon Pro hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a stronger airflow than regular dryers. Thanks to this combination, they dry just as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way.

Using the appliance

Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.

Always put the appliance on a heat-resistant surface when it is heating up and when it is hot.

Straightening your hair

Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care. As with all straighteners that reach salon high temperatures, do not use the appliance frequently to avoid damage to the hair.

If you use the straightener incorrectly, you could overheat your hair or even burn it. Always follow the steps below:

1 Put the plug in the wall socket.
2 Set the on/off switch to 'on'.

The power-on light goes on.

3 Let the appliance heat up.
The plates heat up rapidly and are ready for use within 90 seconds.
4 Comb or brush your hair so that it is disentangled and smooth. (Fig. 2)

Use a comb to divide the hair into sections. Do not put too much hair in one section.

Note: It is better to section off the crown area and to straighten the hair underneath first. Then straighten the top area.

5 Take a section that is approx. 3-4cm wide. Place it between the straightening plates and press the handles of the appliance firmly together.
6 Slide the straightener down the length of the hair in a few seconds, from root to hair end, without stopping to prevent overheating (Fig. 3).

7 Repeat this process after 20 seconds until you have achieved the desired look.
8 Let your hair cool down. Do not comb or brush it before it has cooled down, as this would ruin the hairstyle you have just created.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2 Let the appliance cool down completely on a heat-resistant surface.
3 Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.

Storage

Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged.
2 Let the appliance cool down on a heat-resistant surface before you store it.
