Directions:
For a complete styling, hair should be clean, dry, and free from dirt, hair spray, creams, etc. (Your iron can always be used for quick touch-ups any time.)
Pre-heat: Rest the iron on a smooth, flat surface, plug in and allow iron to heat.
When using straightening iron:
Work with hair sections that are approximately 2½" wide and 3/4" deep. Place hair between the hot plates and press down firmly. Hold in place for a few seconds and pull through hair, maintaining some tension. For a finishing touch, turn straightening iron under just a half turn when near end of hair. Then, simply release pressure from handle and allow hair to slip out. Repeat the process until you have achieved the desired hairstyle.
To convert into a curling iron: Make sure unit is cool before handling for conversion.
When using curling iron:
Start by sectioning hair into strands of not more than 1 inch deep and 2 inch wide.
Keep the hair strand smooth by brushing or combing through the section while holding the ends taut with the other hand.
Taking one section at a time, place the ends of hair over the barrel with the clamp open. Then close the clamp, making sure that the ends extend just a bit beyond the clamp. Grasp the cool safety tip with the other hand, and it will be easy to roll hair.
Keep the section of hair taut as you wind it around the hot barrel by turning the handle with one hand and the cool safety tip with the other. Wind the curl toward your scalp without touching scalp with the hot barrel.
Hold the curl in place for up to 20 seconds for tight curls or if hair is hard to curl. Hold for less time if hair is easy to curl or if you want loose curls or just waves. When you are ready to release curl, unwind about half a turn (for longer hair, unwind a bit more) and push down on the thumb press to open the clamp. Now, gently withdraw the barrel from the center of curl. Allow curl to cool, and try not to disturb curls as you proceed in the same manner around whole head.
When completely finished and all curls have cooled thoroughly, gently brush and comb hair into the style you wish.
Styling tip: For bouncy, flip-up curls, the clamp should be under and the barrel over the section of hair at the start of curl. For curl-under, page-boy styles, the clamp should be over and the barrel under the hair section at the start of curl.
Warnings & Precautions:
Keep away from water. Read all instructions before using.
