As Step 1. Make sure the hair is dry before use. Press the 'on/off' button and use the '+' button to increase the heat or the '-' button to decrease the heat. The thicker and frizzier the hair, the higher the heat setting should be. Styling Tip: Prep your hair with a heat protectant every time you use heat on your hair. For added volume and control, use a styling mousse or root spray. Step 2. Begin by sectioning hair into one to two inch sections with our Grip Clips. Hold hair between the ceramic plates and slide down to straighten. Alternatively, tilt and turn the iron to create curls. Repeat this process for all layers and sections of hair. Step 3. Once you have finished styling, press the 'off' button. Let the iron cool completely before putting it away. Careful: Clean the handle and plates with a damp cloth.
