Preparing for use. Washing your hair
Everybody wants shiny and beautiful hair. A good hair-washing routine can help to achieve this.
1When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds.
2Pour some TRESemmé shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it between your hands and distribute it evenly through your hair.
3Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles.
4Massage your scalp with your fingertips.This stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles.
5Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair. Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.
6After shampooing, use TRESemmé remoisturising conditioner for detangling the hair and improving its condition.
Drying your hair
To get professional styling results, it is essential to prepare your hair for styling. Dry you hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth finish.
1After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands and then towel-dry the hair.
2Use a comb to disentangle hair gently from the roots to the tips.
3Dry your hair by making brushing movements with the hairdryer at a small distance from your hair.
4When you have finished drying, set the hairdryer to the cold setting for a final cold shot.This closes the cuticles and leaves your hair glossier.
Using the appliance.
Which temperature to use
◗Heat stylers are powerful styling tools and should always be used with care. If you use the styler incorrectly or if you use it at the wrong temperature, you could overheat your hair or even burn it.
-Always select a temperature setting that is suitable for your hair type.
-Always select a low setting when you use the styler for the first time.
-For fine or normal hair, select a low to medium temperature (settings 1-15).
-For thick or coarse hair, select a medium to high temperature (settings 15-30)
-Take extra care with pale, blonde, bleached or colour-treated hair, since it will be susceptible to damage at high temperatures.
Setting the temperature
1Insert the plug into the wall socket.
2Switch the appliance on by turning the temperature control knob to a setting that is suitable for your hair.
3The red light starts burning to indicate that the appliance is switched on.
4You can adjust the temperature by turning the temperature control knob to another setting between setting 1 and 30. It will take 60-90 seconds for the styler to heat up. For optimum styling performance, let the styler continue to heat up for about 2 to 3 minutes before you start using it.
Making waves in your hair
1Divide your hair into locks and put them aside with clips.
2The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the waves will get.
3Take the lock you want to style and comb it first, to get rid of tangles.
BYou will achieve the best results if you work from the scalp to the ends of the hair.
4Lightly clamp the hair lock close to the scalp and weave under and over the barrels.
5Close the clip and hold the styler in this position for a few seconds.
6Open the clip by pressing on the lever.
7The waving process requires some overlapping.
8When putting the appliance down, put it on its stand to avoid burn marks on your furniture. Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.
Cleaning.
1Switch the appliance off by turning the temperature control knob to 0 and unplug it.
2Let the appliance cool down completely on its stand.
3Clean the appliance with a damp cloth.
4Never wind the mains cord round the appliance.
