versatility for all hair types. If you have fine
hair, a low temperature will provide the best
results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-

USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 20 VARIABLE
TEMPERATURE SETTINGS AND
UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
®
Easy-Glide ceramic- This styling iron features Conair's Instant Heat
technology. This Instant Heat technology has
20 variable temperature settings. Every type
of hair, from the finest to the curliest and most
resistant, has a temperature range that's
gentle and safe for it and helps you create
the look you want. And that's not all. Conair's
professional salon standards of engineering
provide you with a Uniform Heat Recovery
System that maintains the iron at constant
temperatures. There is a constant flow of
power to ensure that heat is continuously
delivered for optimal styling results, unlike
other units that lose heat during use. This
provides consistent styling power so that
every strand of your hair is set with the same
level of heat and comes out the same way for
a perfect finish.
