The styling temperature is not shown on the display, but continuously optimized based on your hair profile. This feature prevents hair damage caused by high styling temperatures.

To set your profile, go through the hair length, thickness and coloration screens and select according to your hair type. Confirm each setting with the center button and save your settings by selecting a profile name (e.g. Profile 1). Confirm and select «Continue» if you want to use your profile right away. The flashing thermometer symbol shows that the appliance is heating up. Once the thermometer symbol stops flashing, the optimum styling temperature is reached and you can start styling.

C Using the appliance

Preparation

• Make sure your hair has been dried completely and evenly before using the appliance.
• Comb your hair with a wide toothed comb to remove tangles.
• Section your hair off. Starting close to the roots, take a thin strand (2-3 cm maximum or 2 fingers wide) and clamp it firmly between the styling plates.

How to straighten your hair

• Gently run the appliance through the entire length of the hair, slowly and steadily, from roots to the ends without stopping for longer than 2 seconds. This will ensure best straightening results without damaging your hair. The styling plates 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 (1).
• You can create flicks at the hair ends by slowly turning the appliance either outwards or inwards before releasing a strand.

How to form loose curls and waves

• Clamp a thin strand at the roots,
• rotate the appliance half a turn so that the strand glides through the styling plates and then over the active forming area,
• then slowly move the appliance horizontally towards hair tips. When pulling the appliance beyond the hair tips, the strand will turn into curl.

Feedback

The SensoCare mode provides feedback on the straightening performance after each stroke.

Speed (of stroke)Has the stroke been performed slowly enough?	Right	😊	Good, go on like this.
	Fast	💡	Move appliance more slowly
	Very Fast	💡	Move appliance slowly.
Moisture (level of hair)Is your hair evenly dry?	Dry	💡	Good, go on like this.
	Damp	💡	You will get better results on evenly dry hair.
	Wet	💡
