2 Technologies

3D Smart Curling Technology consists of:

• Automation: the hair is automatically and gently drawn into the curl chamber, heated from all directions, and formed into a perfect curl or wave.
• Tourmaline coated barrel: allows the hair to glide around the barrel smoothly, without snags or damage and heats evenly for faster curling. Produces 20 times more moisture-locking ions than any other type of barrel.
• Ionic technology: produces negative ions that coat and seal moisture within the hair's cuticle, which helps prevent dryness and damage. Provides less frizz and a smooth, shiny, healthy looking finish.

PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heating:

generates fast and energy efficient heat transfer; enables the device to cool down quickly to prevent overheating and ensures a higher level of safety.

Below are recommended settings. If you are unsure what temperature to use, start with a lower temperature and increase it as necessary.

Temperature Hair type

150 °C Fine, damaged or chemically treated hair

170 °C / 190 °C Normal hair

210 °C Thick, curly, not chemically treated hair

1. Wait until the indicator of the selected temperature setting stops flashing. The product is now ready for use.

2. Take a hair strand of 1–3 cm in width.

When working with naturally curly or longer length hair, use smaller sections. Also, for tighter curls use smaller sections, for looser curls and waves use larger sections.

1. Lay the hair strand in the curling chamber 1 through the opening 3 (see Fig. B).

Follow below instructions to style the left side of the hair. To style the right side of the hair, do the opposite.

If you want to curl the hair strand inwards, lay it to the left side of the curling barrel 2 (see Fig. C).

If you want to curl the hair strand outwards, lay it to the right side of the curling barrel (see Fig. D).

1. Let go of your hair strand.

2. Press and hold the left rotation button 4 (for inward curls) or right rotation button 5 (for outward curls).

The curling barrel will start to rotate in the selected rotation direction for about 9 seconds. The hair strand will be wound around the curling barrel (see Fig. E).
