How to Get Professional Results with Your Curling Iron

This unique curling iron has been designed with multiple temperatures, providing very high heat in the Hl (25-30) settings for curl- ing very coarse, thick, hard-to-curl hair; and very low heat in the LO (1-6) settings for curling extra fine, damaged or dry hair. It also provides a full range of heat settings between LO and HI, for all normal textures and thicknesses of hair.

TEST A SMALL SECTION OF HAIR BEFORE USING; THEN ADJUST TEMPERATURE DEPENDING ON HAIR TYPE.

Heat Settings

HI (25-30)

These settings are very hot. Use only if hair is very coarse and highly resistant, but in good condition.

MED/HI (19-24)

Use heat settings in this range for dense, hard-to-curl hair in good condition.

MEDIUM (13-18)

Use heat settings in this range for thick, wavy hair in good condition.

LO/MED (7-12)

Use heat settings in this range for easy-to- curl, normal hair.

LO (1-6)

Use LO heat setting for very fine, fragile, light-colored hair.

Styling

1.Start by dividing hair into sections not more than 1 inch deep and 2 inches wide.

2.Keep the section smooth by brushing or combing through it while holding the ends taut with the other hand.

3.Taking one section at a time, place the ends of hair over the barrel with the clamp open. Then close the clamp, making sure that the ends extend just a tiny bit beyond the clamp.

4.Grasp the safety tip with the other hand,

and it will be easy to roll hair.

5. Keep the section of hair taut as you wind it around the hot barrel. Wind the curl

toward the scalp as far as you wish to go without touching scalp with the hot barrel.

6.Hold the curl in place for up to 20 seconds for tight curls or if hair is hard to curl. Hold for less time if hair is easy to curl, or if you want loose curls or just waves.

7.When ready to release curl, unwind about half a turn (for longer hair, unwind a bit more) and push down on the clamp release lever to open the clamp. Now, gently withdraw the barrel from the cen- ter of curl. Allow curl to cool, and try not to disturb curls while proceeding in the same manner around whole head.

8.When completely finished, and all curls have cooled thoroughly, gently brush and comb hair into the style desired.

For a Flip, the clamp should be under and the barrel over the section of hair at the start of the curl.

For a Curl, the clamp should be over and the barrel under the section of hair at the start of the curl.

Maintenance

■To clean the unit, be sure the unit is cool and unplugged. Wipe the handle and barrel with a damp cloth. No other maintenance is necessary.

■Do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself.

Storage

When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it to cool, and store it out of reach of children in a safe, dry location.

Never wrap the cord around the appliance as this will cause the cord to wear prematurely and break, thus voiding warranty. Handle cord carefully for long life, and avoid jerking, twisting or straining it, especially at plug connections.

8

For Volume and Body, roll hair loosely around the barrel. Allow hair to cool slightly before brushing.
