INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
This styling iron is intended for household
use. Use on alternating current (60 hertz)
only. This unit is designed to be operated at
120 volts A.C.
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.
CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling iron cord into a standard
household electrical outlet (120V). When the
red Ready Dot turns white, proper styling
temperature has been reached.
2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each
section before winding. Pressing the automatic
curl release, place curling iron midway up the
hair section, then spread hair evenly between
spoon and barrel. Let go of the 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 8-12 seconds. 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.
5. Some experimenting is necessary when
first using the curling iron, or when changing
to a different hairstyle.
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
curling 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, alternating the curl
upward and downward. Repeat procedure with
remaining sections of hair. For best results,
hair should be about 6-8 inches long.
