Preparing for use Washing The straightener gives the best results on well-washed hair. We advise you to follow the washing tips below: 1 Wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds. 2 Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair. 3 Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull up long hair onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles. 4 Massage your scalp with your fingertips. This stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles. 5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair. Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine.
