Application

Please be aware that fine hair reacts particularly quickly to the treatment. Adjust the appliance to a lower temperature for fine hair. For strong, thick and wavy hair, select a higher setting.

Frequent straightening is not recommended for permed hair.

We recommend the following temperature settings:

130 °C to 160 °C •

For fine, brittle, coloured or bleached hair 170 °C to 190 °C •

For normal hair

200 °C to 230 °C •

For strong and thick hair

Dry your hair thoroughly before using the appliance. Never use the appliance together with hair spray or any other chemical hair tonic or similar products. Place a towel around your neck to avoid burns.

The appliance is suitable for long and short hair.

After washing, dry your hair, comb it straight and then divide you hair into even strands of approximately 5 cm width. Place these hair strands one at a time between the open straightening plates and then close the plates with the hair in between, pulling slowly and gently downwards, from the roots to the tips of your hair. The straightening plates glide smoothly through your hair. The even heat emission is especially kind to your hair. Never rest more than 2 seconds at any one place in order to avoid overstraining the hair.

Allow the straightened hair to cool down before finally combing and styling. The result is straight hair with an intensive, silky shine.
