USER INSTRUCTIONS Before using the appliance wash the hair, remove the excess water and pat dry with a towel. Comb the hair carefully and dry with a hairdryer “pulling” it with a brush. Once the hair is perfectly dry the straightening treatment can begin. Caution: the plates are powerful tools and must be used with maximum care. If the plate is used incorrectly or at a wrong temperature the hair may become overheated or burn. Caution: the plates should have cooled down completely before putting the appliance back in its protective case. PRODUCT The narrow plate is for short thin hair. Before plugging it in ensure that the on/off switch is in the OFF position. Plug the appliance into the socket. Turn on the switch and at this point the red LED pilot light turns on. How to straighten the hair This plate is ideal for touch-ups, short and medium length hair. Wash your hair. Towel-dry hair toroughly , removing all excess water. Comb or brush the hair to remove any knot. Take a few tufts of average size hair; place the hair between the two plates, press and run the plate along its entire length. Start this movement from the roots and continue to the tips, without focusing on any point, to avoid the tufts overheating. Lift the upper tufts and straighten the hair underneath first and then move onto the tufts on top. When the water in your towel-dried hair comes into contact with the hot plates , you will hear a loud hiss and may see some strem. This is a good thing, it’s the sound of the excess water in your hair evaporating and is no harmful to the condition of your hair. CAUTION: the plates are very hot and contact with the skin could cause burns.
