GETTING STARTED
The iron’s
CURLING BASICS
1.Plug the curling iron cord into any house- hold outlet (120V). The ready dot will let you know when it is ready to begin styling. You can adjust the temperature to high or low depending upon your hair type and styling needs. 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; when using the brush sleeve, do not roll hair around it more than two times, to avoid tangling. Hold in place for
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.
5.If you prefer to use the brush sleeve for more control, be sure to slide it over the curling iron while the iron is cool or off. Use of the hot styling sleeve brush is very easy to master. Roll one section of hair at a time around the hot styling brush from the bottom up. TO AVOID TANGLING, NEVER ROLL THE HAIR AROUND THE HOT STYLING BRUSH MORE THAN TWO TIMES. When hair is warm (not hot) to the touch, the curl is set. For hair that is harder to curl, leave the hot styling brush sleeve in place a little longer. A hot styl- ing brush sleeve generally gives a lighter curl than a curling iron – for very

1.Make sure appliance is unplugged and cool.
2.Turn locking dial to the right to unlock.
3.Pull attachment straight off.
4.To put new attachment on power handle, make sure counter rest faces in opposite direction of switch and light.
5.Push attachment into power handle.
6.Turn locking dial to the left to lock securely in place.
TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
To straighten hair, use straightener styling plates. Start with a hair section that is 1" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the barrel and place a hair section between the two hot plates close to your scalp. Trap hair between plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. 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.
TO CRIMP HAIR
To create fun, trendy crimp styles use the crimper plates. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the barrel and place a hair section between the two hot plates close to your scalp. Trap hair between plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. 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.

TO WAVE HAIR
For flowing waves, use curling iron. Separate a wider section of hair than you normally do for curling, and roll it as you usually do. For best results, hair should be at least
FOR TOUSLED HAIR
Create soft, tousled waves by curling each hair section in a random direction. Then, turn head upside down, shake, and gently scrunch hair with fingers. Bring head back to position and repeat for fullest volume.
WIDE WAVES
Pick up a section of hair and place the curl- ing iron under it close to the scalp, making half a turn downward. Remove the curling iron. Working with the same hair section, start where you left off and place the curling iron on top of the hair, curling it up half a turn. Proceed down the same hair section, alternat- ing the curl upward and downward. Repeat procedure with remaining sections of hair. For best results, hair should be about
