Using your straightener Straightening from wet Before starting to straighten your hair, dry your roots with the arms of your straightener closed.

In Dry mode, your straightener has a choice of temperatures and an additional Boost when needed. Your straightener is designed to be used with towel-dried hair, not dripping wet hair. Once towel-dried, detangle your hair with a brush or comb. Your straightener should never be used without the fan motor on.

Cleaning the tension bars Cleaning the diffusers Over time, hair product residue may build up on the tension bars. These bars sit at the top of the inside of each arm and it’s important to keep them clean and free from debris. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a small amount of warm water to brush away any debris. Dry with a clean, lint-free cloth. The diffusers are attached to the sides of the straightener’s arms. We recommend these are kept clean, free from debris and hair product residue. This will keep them functioning effectively. Ensure machine is switched off then slide the diffusers off the ends of the arms. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to remove any debris and hair product residue.
