Step 1. Before using the straightener, hair must be clean, dry and tangle-free. Place the iron on its stand on a flat, smooth, heat-resistant surface and plug it in. Press and hold the ON/OFF button until the device turns on and the "ON" indicator lights up. Adjust the temperature with the left and right buttons until you reach the desired heat. For a healthier hairstyle, we recommend using a temperature of 180°C/360°F, unless you have very thick hair.
Step 2. The key to achieving lush, long-lasting waves is to prepare your hair correctly. Inject a thermal protector that protects the hair from heat and gives it extra hold.
Step 3. Start by dividing your hair into sections with our Grip Clips. Smaller sections will create more defined waves. Take one section at a time, starting at the top near the roots and secure the hair with clips, making sure the hair is placed evenly inside the barrels. Be careful not to touch the scalp with the tool. Hold for 2-5 seconds. Hold for less time if your hair is easy to curl or if you want less defined waves. Once you've released the first clamp, re-attach the top barrel of the corrugator to the last fold of the wave. You must overlap each wave with the curling iron to create a continuous wave from the roots to the ends. Repeat this process all the way to the ends of your head.
Step 4. Once you've finished curling, make sure the hair has cooled completely before touching it to give it time to set. For an effortless beachy wave, brush the wave with our Mermade brush or comb. To finish, spray a little more Mermade Mist for hold and shine, or a flexible spray or hairspray for more hold.
Step 5. To turn off, press and hold the power button until “OFF” appears. For your safety, the tool will automatically turn off after 60 minutes. Allow to cool completely before storing. Be sure to clean the tool after use to prevent product buildup on it.
