When the function is on, a special odor may be smelt and a»

motion (max. 10 seconds) from root to tip, without stopping to

prevent overheating.

Note: Hold the tips of your hair with your other hand during

the whole straightening process, so that the hair remains evenly

distributed between the teeth of the straightening comb.This avoids

that hairs fall out of the teeth before they are straightened.

comb under your hair as close as possible to the roots. Make sure

the tips.This rotating movement will give your roots a maximum of

volume.
