How to use the locking switch?
The locking switch is used to hold the plates together when the straightener is not in
use for easy and convenient storage. After use, turn the appliance off and allow to cool.
Hold the straightener handle together and slide the locking switch across to secure the
plates. To unlock, simply slide the locking switch in the other direction.
How to use the heat protection mat/storage pouch?
The heat protection mat also doubles as an instant storage pouch.
To use the pouch as a heat protection mat, simply unclick and unfold the pouch until it opens
completely. Place the straightener on the silver heat protection surface and begin styling your hair. The
storage pouch at the end of the mat can also be removed for more convenient styling. To remove, simply
unclick the storage pouch from the end of the mat.
After use, the straightener can be placed inside the pouch for storage. (If the storage pouch has been
removed from the mat, place the storage pouch at the end of the mat, by clicking into place). Ensure
that the appliance is switched off and has cooled down before storing. To use the storage pouch, unzip
the pouch until it is completely open. Simply place the straightener with power cord and plug inside the
pouch. Never allow the plates to touch the power cord or plug, as this may scratch the surface of the
straightener and/or the straightening plates. To close, simply zip the storage pouch closed and fold the
heat mat up and then click the pouch together.
How to use the leather-like case?
The leather-like case is another way to store your sectioning clips and straightener once it has
cooled. Please note the leather-like case is not heat resistant. If using it to store your straightener, the
straightener must be completely cooled before storing.
How does the ionic feature work?
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man-made fibres and air
pollution add to the build-up of static electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair
can increase these levels. This static charge causes the scales, or cuticles of the hair, to push hair strands
apart, resulting in a rough hair surface. Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance.
High levels of static charge cause hair to become ‘flyaway’ and difficult to style. The advanced internal
ionic generator conditions hair by emitting negative ions to reduce static, by leaving hair silky and shiny
with reduced frizz.
