Straightener. They may be used

STYLING TIPS
Timing
1. The Straightener uses a ceramic
PTC heating element for fast
heat-up and constant
temperature. You will need to
test how long it takes to
straighten your hair from the
roots to the ends.
2. First test an inconspicuous
section of your hair. Use
thinner sections for thick,
resistant hair.
3. Begin timing at 5 - 8 seconds
for fine, thin hair. Straighten
for 10 - 15 seconds for thick
or coarse hair. Slide the
Straightener from the root area
sliding to the ends of the hair.
If more time is needed, skip to
a new section of hair until you
find the right time needed.
4. If hair requires a second pass to
straighten, use less time for
the second pass.
Steam
1. If product build up is on the
hair, or a conditioner has been
used, you will notice a slight
amount of steam coming from
the Straightener. This is
normal.
However, if large amounts
of steam are forming,
discontinue straightening.
Press the ON/OFF Switch to
OFF and unplug the unit.
2. Wash your hair with a clarifying
shampoo to remove the build-
up. Condition hair with a light
conditioner as necessary, and
dry the hair thoroughly.
3. Proceed in straightening hair.
