GETTING STARTED
The iron's unique 5 ultra-high heat temperature
settings and Instant Heat technology provide
styling 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-
straighten hair, keep the heat setting on high.
You can vary the iron's temperature according to
your particular need!

hair section between the two hot plates, close
to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by
firmly 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 prod-
uct 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 the
iron several times, you will learn the ideal
way to straighten and style your hair.
A bonus protective heat shield storage pouch
has been included to safely store product
away when hot. Great for use at home or
when traveling.
