5.2 Styling

The right temperature

WARNING!

- Hair can be damaged by excessive temperature, excessively long contact or too frequent straightening. Particularly at higher temperatures, you should not treat the same strand of hair more than once.

Hair texture	Recommended temperature
bleached, dyed blonde	100 - 120 °C
fine, dyed 120 - 140 °C
normal to strong, not chemically treated	140 - 180 °C

• Start with the lowest temperature that is recommended for the hair texture to be treated.
• Increase the temperature in small steps if the straightening process is taking too long.

Straightening

1. Dry your hair completely or in a way such that it is only slightly damp.
2. Comb the hair well.
3. Press the on/off button ⏻ 4 for approx. 2 seconds to switch the device on. The display 2 shows 150.
4. Start with the lowest temperature that is recommended for the hair texture to be treated (see table).

5. Separate one strand and brush it smooth. Brush evenly from the hairline to the tips of the hair. Do not stay in any one spot for too long. Ensure that you keep a sufficient distance from your scalp!

6. Straighten all of your hair in this way, strand by strand.

7. Switch the device off using the on/off button 4, and allow the device to cool down.
8. Disconnect the mains plug 1 from the wall socket.
9. Allow the hair to briefly cool before you treat it further e.g. with styling or care products.

Ionisation function

The indication ≡ on the display 2 shows the ion function. Ions are continuously applied to the hair.

This reduces the static loading of the hair and improves its stylability.

The hair becomes soft, smooth, glossy, and easier to style.
