GETTING STARTED

tings and Instant Heat technology combine
to provide styling versatility for all hair tex-
tures. If you have fi ne hair, a low temperature
will provide the best results. If you have thick,
wavy or hard-to-straighten hair, keep the heat
setting high. You can vary the straightening
iron's temperature according to your par-
ticular need!
