Risk of burns!

● Only use the appliance on dry hair.

Styling your hair
This wave iron was designed for creating
waves in medium to long hair.
Proceed as follows:
● Comb the hair and divide it into even, lat
strands about 2 to 3 cm wide.
● Make sure that adjacent strands are
slightly offset.
● Attach the upper strands to the top of the
head with hair clips; start the styling proc-
ess with the lower strands (Fig. 1).
● Insert a strand of hair at the lower third
into the gap in the heating element. Use
the longer arm of the heating element as
a threading aid (Fig. 2).
● Hold the appliance in a level position and
lock the tip of the strand into position by
turning it once or twice; hold the hair ends
with your ingers (Figures 3 and 4).
● Roll up the strand along the heating ele-
ment by rotating it (Fig. 4).
● Heat the rolled-up strand for approxi-
mately six seconds (Fig. 5).
● Unroll the curl by half a rotation and pull
the appliance out sideways. Hold the curl
in place or ix it in place with a hair clip
(Figures 6, 7 and 8).
● Let the curl cool down to stabilize its
shape.
● Treat all strands; when you are done,
style the hair with a large-toothed comb
or with your ingers.
