STYLING WITH THE NEW EASY-GLIDE
TOURMALINE CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The plates of your new straightening iron
have an easy-glide tourmaline ceramic-
coated surface, the newest technology.
You'll also find that hair glides easily
over the surface of the plates as you're
straightening. The tourmaline ceramic-
coated surface also helps smooth down
flyaways and frizzies. As you smooth each
strand, heat is evenly distributed so that
the style you create has a salon-perfect,
silky smooth, shining finish. Hair slips
right off the plates after it's straightened.
The new tourmaline ceramic technology
is a pleasure to work with, makes styling
your hair easier and provides more
professional results.
You'll find not only that hair glides easily over
the surface of the plates as you're straighten-
ing, but it's simpler to clean styling products
residue, etc. off after each use.

NEW! STRAIGHTENING COMB

The new straightening comb detangles and
tames even the most unruly tangles and
frizz. This added benefit is ideal for all hair
types, especially thick and coarse hair.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 30 WET • DRY
VARIABLE TEMPERATURE SETTINGS &
UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This straightening iron features Conair's
Instant Heat technology. It heats up to the
temperature you've selected for your hair type.
Within this Instant Heat technology there are
30 variable wet dry temperature settings for
•
every type of hair, from the finest to the
curliest and most resistant. Use the low
settings for wet/damp hair and as your hair
dries turn to the medium settings. Once hair
is completely dry, use the medium to high set-
tings to complete the straightening process.

Temperature Setting Guide

TEMP. CONTROL HAIR TYPE
Low/Wet 1-10 Delicate, thin, easy-to-straighten hair
Medium/Damp 11-17 Average to thick or treated hair
Med/High 18-23 Thick or wavy hair
High/Dry 24-30 Hard-to-straighten hair.
And that's not all. Conair's professional salon
standards of engineering provide you with a
Uniform 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 finish.
