2 in 1 Hair Straightener and Curler, 1 Inch Ceramic Flat Iron & Curling Iron Combo, Mini Travel Dual Voltage 100‑240V, Fast PTC Heating, 360° Swivel Cord, Heat‑Resistant Travel Pouch, Rose Gold

HOW TO CURL?

1. Unlock Plates: Ensure the plates are unlocked.

2. Section Hair: Divide your hair into sections suitable for curling (usually 1-inch sections work well). Clip away unused hair.

3. Position & Clamp: Take one section. Clamp the hair midway down the section between the plates.

4. Twist & Wrap: Rotate the styler 180 degrees (half a turn) away from your face, then wrap the remaining length of the hair section around the outside of the heated barrel. Keep the hair flat against the barrel as you wrap.

5. Hold Securely: Hold the hair in this position for 10-15 seconds. Crucially, adjust this time based on your hair's thickness and texture. Fine hair may need less time, while thicker or coarser hair might need closer to 15 seconds. Experiment safely to find what works best for your hair type.

6. Gentle Release: Carefully open the clamp and gently slide the styler downwards out of the hair, allowing the curl to release without pulling or tugging.

7. Set the Curl: For longer-lasting curls, you can catch the warm curl in your palm and let it cool for a few seconds, or pin it loosely to your head while it cools completely.

8. Repeat & Alternate: Continue curling section by section. For a more natural look, consider alternating the direction you twist the iron (away from the face on one section, towards the face on the next).

9. Finish: Once all sections are curled and completely cool, you can gently shake your head, run your fingers through the curls to loosen them, or apply a light hairspray for hold.

HOW TO STRAIGHTEN?

1. Unlock Plates: Ensure the plates are unlocked so they can clamp together.

2. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1 to 1.5 inches wide.

3. Use the included clips to hold unused sections out of the way. Smaller sections allow for more thorough straightening.

4. Position the Iron: Take one section of hair. Position the flat iron plates near the roots, being careful not to touch the scalp.

5. Clamp & Glide: Clamp the plates firmly but gently onto the hair section. Maintain even pressure and glide the iron smoothly down the entire length of the hair shaft towards the ends without stopping. Stopping can create creases or cause excess heat exposure.

6. Repeat if Necessary: If a section isn't perfectly straight after the first pass, allow it to cool slightly before repeating.

7. Continue Through Sections: Work through all sections of your hair until completely straight.

Helpful Tips for Best Results & Safety:

This curling method works best on hair that is at least shoulder-length, allowing enough length to wrap around the barrel effectively. It is generally not suitable for very short hair.

1. 1. Know Your Hair: Pay attention to how your hair reacts. If you notice steam or smell burning, stop immediately and check your technique or heat protectant application. Adjust hold times accordingly.
2. Sectioning is Key: Proper sectioning ensures heat is applied evenly for consistent results, whether straightening or curling.
3. Smooth Movements: Avoid jerky motions when straightening or curling to prevent snags or uneven results.
4. Utilize Accessories: The glove protects your hand, the clips make sectioning easier, and the pouch is great for storage after the tool has completely cooled down.
