Risk of burns! Never allow appliance to come into contact with skin (scalp or ears). ● Only use the appliance on dry hair. ● Use only on untreated, healthy hair. ● Use less frequently on permed, coloured or affected hair. Note: Fine hair responds very quickly to the treatment. The even heat emission is espe- cially gentle on the hair. ● Comb the hair and section it into even strands (about 2-3 cm wide). The ner the strands, the tighter the curl, as all the hair comes into contact with the heated curl- ing tongs. ● Open the curling tongs by pressing the clip 5. ● Insert a strand of hair and close the clip. Figure a ● Now pull the curling tongs down to the ends of the hair and turn to wind up the strand. Figure b Important: If you have long hair, use the entire surface of the heated barrel. This spreads the heat evenly through the hair and delivers better styling results. ● Leave the curling tongs in the hair for a few seconds to shape the curl. ● Release the strand of hair by opening the clip with small movements while removing the curling iron sideways from the hair strand. N.B.: Make sure that the curl is not pulled straight when removing the curling tongs. For longer lasting curls, use a hair clip to hold the curl in place while it is still rolled up.10 Robert Bosch Hausgeräte GmbH 10 en Tip: Allow hair to cool completely before styling. Give your hair extra volume by running your ngers through the curls. For more natural looking waves, you can also use the curling tongs as a hairdresser would with the clip closed. Hold the strand of hair by its tip and wrap it in a spiral around the closed curling tongs. Figure c Leave the curling tongs in the hair for a few seconds to create the wave. When the curl has formed, let go of the strand of hair. Tip: For a more modern look, don’t wrap the strand of hair starting at the roots, but leave the rst few centimeters straight.
