Start with a hair section that is 2" wide and no more than 1/2" thick. Open the iron and place a hair section between the two hot plates, close to the scalp. Trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the end of hair. At the end of hair section, release the pressure on the handle and allow the hair section to slide out. Repeat process on additional sections of hair until you achieve the hair style you desire. It may be necessary to repeat pro- cess on certain areas, depending on the texture of your hair.
Some experience is necessary when learning to use this straightening iron. After using iron several times, you will learn the ideal way to straighten and style your hair easily.
For faster styling results, we have added a unique optional Turbo Heat on/off feature. Press the Turbo button to deliver up to 20°C/68°F more heat in the highest setting, for maximum styling performance.

Your straightening iron includes a removable comb attachment. The comb will help to pro- vide tension and guide your hair as you use the straightening iron. Be sure to turn iron off and allow it to cool before removing or attach- ing the comb. To remove it, hold the iron firmly with one hand; with your other hand, slide comb away from the iron. When replacing the comb, align the comb with the slot on the side of the iron and slide comb into position. Make sure the comb locks securely into position.
