CAUTION: Steam evaporating through the

or blocking the vents and direct drying vents
away from your scalp and face.
2. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and
no more than ½" thick. Open the iron and place
a hair section between the two hot plates, close
to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by
fi rmly squeezing the handles together. While
maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down
along the hair section toward the end of hair. For
best results, use a light styling lotion before blow-
drying hair. At the end of hair section, release the
pressure on the handle and allow the hair section
to slide out. Repeat process on additional sections
of hair until you achieve the hair style 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 straightening iron. After using iron several
times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and
style your hair easily.
STYLING WITH EASY-GLIDE TITANIUM-
TOURMALINE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of this straightening iron are coated
with a combination of the best materials for
styling. A fusion of titanium, tourmaline and
ceramic evenly distributes heat to gently style
and protect hair from damaging hot spots. When
heated, tourmaline naturally emits clouds of
negatively charged ions that eliminate fl yaways
and frizzies and leave hair silky smooth and
However, should you fail shiny.
Hair glides easily over the surface of these ultra
smooth plates. As you straighten each strand,
you'll achieve a salon-perfect fi nish.
Plates are exceptionally easy to clean, and you'll
discover that this combination of technologies
leaves your hair silky smooth.

And that's not all. Conair's professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with a Uni-
form Heat Recovery System that maintains the
straightening iron at a constant temperature.
There is a constant surge of power to ensure that
heat is continuously delivered for optimal styling
results, unlike other units which 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 fi nish.
