B How to straighten your hair (Style 1)

For straightening, we recommend the following temperature

The higher the temperature setting, the faster you will get a

sleek, straight style.

1. Section off a hair strand. Starting close to the roots, take a

thin strand (2–3 cm or 2 fingers wide) and clamp it firmly

between the styling plates [B1].

2. Gently run the straightener through the entire length of the

hair, slowly and steadily, from roots to the ends [B2] without

stopping for longer than 2 seconds. This will ensure best

straightening results without damaging your hair. The ceramic

plates (1) ensure easy and smooth gliding.

• For improved control when gliding along a strand, you may

stabilise the appliance by holding it with the other hand on the

cool touch points (2).

• You can create flicks at the hair ends by slowly turning the

appliance either outwards or inwards before releasing a strand.

C How to create curls (Style 2)

results (independently of hair type).

The appliance offers a completely new way of creating curls:

simple, without rolling up hair strands or long waiting times.

Once the strand of hair is in place, rotate the appliance 1–2

times around its own axis so that the strand of hair glides first

through the plates and then over the curl shaper (3). For

improved handling, you may want to hold the cool touch with

your free hand to keep the styling plates pressed together.

Slowly pull the styler away from head and towards the tips of

beyond the hair tips the strand of hair turns into a curl.
