INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

The quick understanding of the modes of use of the hair brush will allow establishing the exact application time for obtaining the desired eect.

• Before use, make sure your hair is dry, clean and with no residue of hairspray of other cosmetic product.

• To switch the brush on slide the on/o switch (1) to “I” or “ION” to also switch the ionizer function on.

• Take a thin lock of hair between your ngers, of the same width as the heated part of the brush.

• To maximise the results, we recommend a slow but continuous stroke on the strand, making sure that the hair passes deeply between the bristles to ensure even heat distribution.

• After reaching the desired eect, slide the on/o switch (1) to “O” and disconnect the brush from the socket. NOTE: it is possible that steam is emitted while the brush is used; this is excess humidity in the hair that evaporates. ATTENTION! After having nished using the hair brush, ensure it has completely cooled down before putting it away. Never wrap the power supply cord around the appliance. IONIZER The brush has an ionizer - a device that reproduces ionization, which adds shine and brightness to the hair. The “static hair” eect is also reduced.13

m2 can also be handed electronic products that are to be disposed of measuring less than 25 cm, free of charge and with no obligation to buy.
