OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is intended for household use. Use on Alternating Current (60 Hertz) only. Standard appliances are designed to operate at 120 volts AC.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

GETTING STARTED

The iron’s multi attachment feature is designed to provide you with styling versatility for all hair textures. Your special styles combo unit includes a 1/2" and 5/8" ceramic dual bar- rel attachment, a 3/4" ceramic curling iron, and ceramic convertible straightener/crimper plates – all of these different styling options

CURLING BASICS

1.Plug the curling iron cord into any house- hold outlet (120V). Turn the unit on. The LED will be red when the unit is on. Never leave your curling iron on and unattended.

2.Section dry hair evenly, and comb each sec- tion before curling. Pressing the curl release, place curling iron midway up the hair section, then spread hair evenly between spoon and barrel. Release automatic curl release to hold hair in place. Gently slide curling iron down to hair ends. To avoid crimped ends, make sure they are securely wound under the spoon in the direction of the desired curl.

3.Wind the hair up as far as you want it curled, being careful not to let the iron touch the scalp. Hold in place for 8-12 seconds, depend- ing on the texture and length of your hair. For tighter, bouncier curls, roll less hair. For looser, free flowing curls, roll more hair.

4.To remove curling iron, unwind the hair and press the automatic curl release. To set the curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.

USING THE DUAL BARREL ATTACHMENT This unique combination of heated barrels allows you to create beautiful oval and ribbon ringlets.

FOR OVAL CURLS, place smooth hair strand on spoon clip and roll over both barrels. Hold in place for 8-12 seconds.

TO CREATE RIBBON RINGLETS, take smooth strand of hair and weave through barrels simulating a figure eight. Use caution as bar- rels are very hot.

Ribbon Curl

HOW TO CHANGE STYLING HEADS: Changing styling heads is easy.

1.Make sure appliance is unplugged and cool before changing attachments.

2.Slide down locking switch at top of handle to release attachments.

Caution: For use with dual barrel styling tool, make sure the 5/8" barrel with the spoon clip is inserted into the upper handle (the one with colorful graphics) and locked into place. Lock the 1/2" barrel into the lower housing. If this attachment is not locked into the lower handle, the unit will not operate properly.

3.Hold attachments by cool tips to remove.

4.To attach the convertible straightening/ crimping plates to the power handle, simply insert plates into the handle and push to lock into place.

5.To convert from straight plates to crimper plates, or vice versa, hold the iron tightly closed. Push the rectangular button that pro- trudes from the base of the plate to convert the plates.

6.To remove plates, slide the locking switches down and pull plates out of power handle.

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR

To straighten hair, use straightener styling plates. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the handle and place a hair section between the two hot plates close to your scalp. Trap hair between plates by firmly squeezing the handles togeth- er. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward end of hair. At the end of the hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair section to slide out. Continue this process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire.

For extra styling, turn the straightening iron under when nearing the end of the hair section. This will give a nice flip to your hair.

Some experience is necessary when first using this straightening iron. After a few uses, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair easily.
