Tips and Tricks
Refer to the Quick Start Guide for detailed usage instructions.
- ( Fig.2 ) There are different points where the curling attachment can be fixed. For your convenience, you can change the position according to the way you hold the appliance
- Pre-dry your hair, including the roots, before using the product. For optimal results, hair should be 80%–90% dry
- Comb hair thoroughly and ensure that there are no tangles
- Separate hair into sections. Keep all unused hair away from the opening. Make sure that there are no stray or loose strands near the opening
- Start curling from the back of the head
- ( Fig. 3 ) Before inserting the hair, check that the opening is clear. Press the rotating button to make sure there is nothing blocking the opening
- Twist the hair once to make it easier to put into the opening
- Use the contours or the marked arrows to guide hair into the chamber
- Place the opening on your hair where you want the curls to start. Do not place too close to the roots
- Hold the hair strands taut when putting into the opening
- Do not immediately release the rotation button when the hair can no longer be seen at the opening. Allow the rotation to continue for another 10 seconds to ensure that the hair is completely inside the chamber
- Check that the ends of the hair strands remain enclosed within the chamber and no stray hair is sticking out
- ( Fig. 4 ) If hair becomes trapped, switch off the device. Gently remove any trapped hair in thin strands, section by section, until all of the hair is freed. Alternatively, you can press the side buttons () of the air curl attachment to remove the top cover of the attachment and release trapped hair

- Style the hair tips (Fig. 5-C)
