STRAIGHTENING TIPS
This professional hair straightener becomes very hot. We recommend that utmost attention be paid to the condition of the hair that is to be treated, especially in the case of bleached and deconstructed hair. We recommend a maximum of 3 seconds of application and to always test a hidden lock in advance.
• Wash your hair as usual, dry and brush it to untangle any knots.
• After drying, do not use hairspray, mousse or gel.
• Take a thin lock of hair between your fingers as wide as the heating plate and place it between the plates.
• Close the hair straightener and hold the lock taut with one hand while sliding the straightener with the other hand from the roots to the ends.
• Start straightening from the nape of the neck and then move on to the sides and lastly to the front.
As you proceed with the straightening, be careful not to move the straightener too close to the face, ears, neck and skin, which will cause burns due to its high temperature.
• Continue until the straightening is complete.
Steam may be produced while straightening; this is normal due to the excess moisture in the hair which evaporates.
