Frequently Asked Questions - GoSleek IR A5764 SILKN

How to turn on and adjust the temperature of the GoSleek IR A5764 straightener?

Plug in the device, then press and hold the control button 3 to turn it on. The temperature display flashes until it reaches the default temperature of 190 °C. To change the temperature, press the control button several times to cycle through the 5 levels: 130 °C, 150 °C, 170 °C, 190 °C and 210 °C. The device heats up quickly, for example in 30 seconds for 130 °C.

Which temperature to choose based on my hair type?

Recommendations are: 130 °C / 150 °C for fine, damaged or chemically treated hair; 170 °C / 190 °C for normal hair; 210 °C for thick, curly or chemically untreated hair. If in doubt, start with a low temperature and increase if necessary.

How to properly straighten hair with this straightener?

Hair must be clean, dry and free of styling products. Brush to detangle, then divide into sections the width of the plates. Turn on the device and select the appropriate temperature. Stretch a section, place the straightener near the roots by clamping the plates, then glide slowly towards the tips. Recommended speed: 5-8 cm/s for fine hair, 5 cm/s for normal, 2-3 cm/s for thick. Do not stay too long in one place to avoid burning hair.

What to do if the straightener does not heat up?

First check that the power plug is properly inserted into an accessible power outlet. If the device still does not turn on, contact customer service. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.

How to clean the GoSleek IR straightener?

Always unplug the device and let it cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the plates and housing with a damp cloth. Never immerse the device in water or other liquids. Do not use aggressive products, metal brushes or sharp objects.

How long does the automatic safety shut-off last?

The straightener turns off automatically after 1 hour of inactivity. This is a safety feature to prevent any risk if you forget to turn it off.

Can I use the straightener on wet hair?

No, hair must be clean and dry before straightening. Using on wet hair can damage hair and the device, and poses a risk of burns or electric shock. Also avoid using the straightener near water.

What to do if my hair remains frizzy after straightening?

Check that the plates are clean and that the selected temperature is suitable for your hair type. If necessary, increase the temperature by one level. Also make sure hair is perfectly dry and free of product residue. For better results, straighten thinner sections and slow down the gliding speed.

How to store the straightener after use?

After use, turn off the device by pressing and holding the control button until the lights go out. Unplug it and let it cool completely on the heat-resistant mat. Store it in the provided pouch or hang it by the hanging loop. Do not wrap the cord around the device.

What is the warranty of the straightener and how to contact customer service?

The product comes with a 2-year warranty covering manufacturing defects. For any claims or assistance, contact Silk'n customer service: in France at 0891-655557 or [e-mail]; in Belgium at 0800-29316 or [e-mail]. Do not attempt to repair the device yourself.

2. Technologies

Infrared technology: enables deeper and even heat penetration, shorter styling time, and repairs hair scales; locks in your hair's natural moisture to prevent overdrying and achieve healthy, silky and shiny hair.

Ceramic coated plates: allow the hair to glide through the hair straightener smoothly, without snags or damage. They also heat evenly for faster straightening.

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.

• Clean all parts of the hair straightener before first use as described in the chapter “Cleaning”.
• Before using the hair straightener for the first time, switch it on for a few minutes and set it to the highest temperature. As a result of the manufacturing process, you may notice a slight odour. This is normal and only occurs during first use. Ensure that the room is well ventilated.

6.1 Before straightening

• The hair should be clean, dry and free of styling products (except special products that promote hair straightening).
  • Thoroughly comb the hair so that there are no knots in it.
