THE CERAMIC, EASY-GLIDE STYLER

The Unbound™ Petite styler has a ceramic, easy-glide surface. This is the newest technology. It not only makes it simpler to clean off styling product residue, etc., after each use, but you'll find that hair glides easily over the surface of the heating plates. The ceramic surface also helps smooth down flyaways and frizzies for added shine.

The stylister evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shiny finish.

Ceramic technology makes styling hair easier, and gives you professional results.

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR

Hair should be clean and completely dry before using the multi-styler. For best results, use a light styling product before blow-drying hair.

1. Set the appliance to straight mode.
2. Start with a hair section that is 12 inch wide and no more than 12 inch thick.
3. Open the iron and place the hair section between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together.
4. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the ends.
5. At the ends, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair to slide out.
   Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hairstyle you desire. It may be necessary to repeat process on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair.

Some experience is necessary when learning to use this multi-styler. After using the iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair.

cr300_20pa064730_unbound_mini_multi_styler_ib_final.indd 19 3/19/20 11:22 AM

TO CURL HAIR

Ensure hair is dry and combed through.

1. Set the appliance to curl mode.
2. Lock plates closed.
3. Take a 12 -inch wide section of hair, starting 2 inches from the scalp. Ensure the end of the appliance is pointing down toward the shoulder.
4. Wind the section of hair around the barrel toward the cool tip.
5. Hold the ends of the hair in place at the cool tip for 5 to 8 seconds, depending on hair type, and then release. For tighter, bouncier curls, roll less hair. For loose, free-flowing curls, roll more hair.

1. To set the curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.

Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hairstyle you desire. Some experience is necessary when learning to use this multi-styler. After using it several times, you will learn the ideal way to curl your hair.

STYLE TIPS

• On a low setting, use the outer barrel to smooth flyaways.
• To add flips and waves, secure ends in between plates and wrap hair around the outer housing. It's an easy way to add shape to straight styles. Turn your wrist up or under to create flips, add curl or more body.
• Best to use on short-to-medium length hair.
