OPERATING THE  
PROFESSIONAL  
CURLING IRON OPERATION  
CAUTION:  
SWIVEL CURLING IRON  
Do not rest Curling Iron  
on its side.  
NEVER leave the  
Curling Iron ON and  
unattended.  
When used correctly, the  
Professional Swivel Curling Iron  
will help you to achieve the latest  
fashionable styles. With this  
salon-quality tool, you will be  
able to style your hair in no time!  
Barrel is hot. Do not  
touch with fingers.  
BEFORE STYLING THE HAIR  
Operation  
IMPORTANT: Before styling,  
ensure that the hair is clean, dry,  
and tangle-free.  
1. Plug the Power Cord into a  
standard Household AC outlet.  
2. Slide the POWER Switch to the  
desired heat setting (HI or LO.)  
The red POWER Indicator Light  
will illuminate.  
3. It will take approximately 2  
minutes for the Curling Iron to  
heat up. You may rest the  
supervised Curling Iron on its  
Safety Stand on a smooth, flat  
surface during this time.  
We do not recommend using  
styling products in the hair prior  
to curling. Some products are  
flammable and will cause the hair  
to stick to the Curling Iron. Build-  
up from products will coat the  
Barrel and Clamp and prevent the  
hair from curling efficiently. Use  
styling/shine products after the  
hair is curled.  
4. Style your hair as desired.  
You may notice a metallic  
smell the first time using the  
Curling Iron. This is normal and  
will cease with use.  
5. When you are finished using the  
Curling Iron, slide the POWER  
Switch to OFF. Unplug the unit.  
DUAL VOLTAGE: This appliance  
utilizes a positive temperature  
coefficient (PTC) heating element  
and operates over a range of  
voltages.  
Confirm the voltage available at  
each location before using the  
appliance.  
For connection to a 240-volt  
supply or above, use an  
attachment plug adaptor (not  
included) of the proper  
configuration for the power  
supply receptacle.

Steaming or Singeing?  
STYLING TIPS  
When the hair is steaming, there  
will be a slight product odor and  
white steam. This is normal.  
When the hair is singeing, there  
will be a strong odor and light to  
dark "smoke." You can tell the  
hair is damaged from excessive  
heat when the hair frazzles and  
possibly discolors.  
Notice: The Curling Iron uses a  
ceramic PTC heating element for  
fast heat-up and constant  
temperature. Care should always  
be used when hair is in contact  
with the hot Barrel of the Curling  
Iron.  
Steam  
1. If product build-up is on the  
hair, or a conditioner has been  
used, you will notice a slight  
amount of steam coming from  
the Curling Iron. This is normal.  
Frazzled Hair  
Over-curling can frazzle hair! Some  
hair strands will form kinks, unlike the  
natural curl of the hair.  
However, if large amounts  
of steam are forming,  
discontinue curling. Slide  
POWER Switch to OFF and  
unplug the unit.  
2. Wash your hair with a clarifying  
shampoo to remove the build-  
up. Condition hair with a light  
conditioner as necessary, and  
dry the hair thoroughly.  
This is the first sign of hair damage.  
Discontinue curling immediately.  
WARNING: DO NOT TRY TO CURL  
DAMAGED HAIR!  
3. Proceed in curling hair.  
Chemically Treated Hair  
1. Use CAUTION when curling  
chemically treated, colored, or  
permed hair.  
2. Cut down the time used for  
curling chemically treated,  
colored, or permed hair.  
3. Smaller sections are better for  
thick or resistant hair.

8. When you are ready to release  
curl, unwind about half a turn  
(for longer hair unwind a bit  
more) and push down on the  
Clamp Release Lever to open  
the Clamp.  
9. Gently withdraw the Barrel  
from the center of the curl.  
10. Allow curl to cool and try not  
to disturb curls as you  
STYLING  
1. Divide hair into sections no  
more than 2 inches wide before  
starting.  
2. Keep the hair strand smooth by  
brushing or combing through  
the section while holding the  
ends taut with the other hand.  
3. Taking one section at a time,  
place the ends of hair over the  
Barrel with the Clamp open.  
proceed in the same manner  
around the whole head.  
4. Close the Clamp making sure  
that the ends extend just a tiny  
bit beyond the Clamp.  
See Fig.1.  
Timing  
1. The Curling Iron uses a  
ceramic PTC heating element  
for fast heat-up and constant  
temperature. You will need to  
test how long it takes to curl  
your hair from the roots to the  
ends.  
2. First test an inconspicuous  
section of your hair. Use  
thinner sections for thick,  
resistant hair.  
Fig. 1  
3. Begin timing at 5-8 seconds  
for fine, thin hair. Hold the  
curl in place for 9-12 seconds  
for thick or coarse hair. Then  
release the curl and view the  
results. If more time is needed,  
skip to a new section of hair  
until you find the right time  
needed.  
5. Grasp the Cool Touch Tip with  
the other hand to roll hair  
6. Keep the section of hair taut as  
you wind it around the hot  
Barrel by slowly turning the  
Handle. Wind the curl toward  
your scalp as far as you wish to  
go without touching scalp with  
the hot Barrel.  
7. Hold the curl in place for the  
needed length of time to  
achieve the desired effect  
(See following section on  
TIMING.)

For Bouncy Flip-Up Curls  
Clamp should be under the Barrel  
and over the section of hair at  
the start of the curl. See Fig. 2.  
Fig. 2  
For Curl-Under, Pageboy Curls  
Clamp should be over the Barrel  
and under the hair section at the  
start of the curl. See Fig. 3.For  
Fig. 3  
Spiral Curls  
Insert the hair near base of clamp  
where it meets the handle. Then  
wind the hair up the barrel  
towards the tip. See Fig. 4.  
Fig. 4  
For Tousled Hair  
Create soft, tousled waves by  
curling each strand of hair in a  
random direction. Then, turn your  
head upside down, shake and  
gently scrunch hair with fingers.  
Return your head to an upright  
position and repeat for fullest  
volume.
