This curling appliance is intended for household use.
Use on Alternating Current (60 hertz) only. Standard
curling appliances are designed to operate at 120
volts AC.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). As a safety feature this
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
feature.

Before using Shiny Styles™Iron:
1. Place unit on a firm surface for safety.
2. Select and change plates before heating unit.
NEVER CHANGE PLATES WHEN HOT!!! To
change plates, simply hold the side button down
as you slide the plates off the unit (diagram 1).
Replace desired plates by aligning the grooves on
the bottom of the plate with the unit. The plate
should click into place and be flush with the unit.
3. Plug unit in, allowing 20 - 25 minutes for opti-
mum heat.
4. Use Shiny Styles™Iron on dry hair. You can
use mousse, gel and other hair preparations
before or after using Shiny Styles™ Iron to
achieve the look you desire.

give it volume and texture. 

4. Star imprint plate: First choose a spot where
you'd like to 'print' a star on your hair. A strand
near your face, or a pair – one on each side of
your face – or a strand of hair directly in the back
is a good spot, but use your imagination. One star
imprint makes a good 'shining impression', but if
you have hair long enough, several looks great.
Close the iron over the strand of hair to be
imprinted, hold for about 5-10 seconds and
release. Add a little gel or mousse to the strand
before or after you 'print' and the impression will
last longer. Spray helps too.

Combinations: Mix and match shiny strands with
micro crimp strands and/or stars. Experiment with
different styles, using only one plate or a combi-
nation of different plates.

1. Deep wave plates: Deep wave plates can be
used on the entire head or on small sections of
hair.  Shiny Styles™ Iron works well on wavy
hair, giving it a more uniform glamorous look, and
on straight hair, giving it body and texture. Take
one small section of hair at a time, place it
between plates, and gently press the plates shut.
Always work from the roots toward the end of the
hair. Keep plates closed for 5 - 10 seconds.
Release that section of hair and reposition the
styler so that the next crimp falls in line with the
first.

2. Straight plates: The straightener is designed
to smooth unwanted curl or frizz, to shape and
straighten your hair in the latest stunning styles.
Take one small section of hair at a time. Pull the
hair downward and hold taut. Starting at the root,
run the straightener down the hair in one smooth
movement. Keep the strands of hair smooth while
you work, to avoid ridges. 

Removable combs: Your straightening iron
includes two removable comb attachments. The nat-
ural boar and nylon bristle comb will help to provide
tension and guide your hair as you use the straight-
ening iron. To remove or attach the comb, turn unit
off and allow unit to cool. Hold unit firmly with one
hand; with your other hand, slide comb away from
the iron. When replacing the comb, align the comb
with the slot on the side of the iron and slide comb
into position. Make sure the comb securely locks into
position.
3.  Micro crimp plates: Similar to the deep
wave plate, the micro crimp plate can be used on
the entire head or on small sections of hair, to
