This appliance is intended for household use. 
Use on Alternating Current (60 Hertz) only. 
Standard 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.
GETTING STARTED
The iron’s multi attachment feature is designed 
to provide you with styling versatility for all 
hair textures. Your special styles combo unit 
includes a 1/2" and 5/8" ceramic dual bar-
rel attachment, a 3/4" ceramic curling iron, 
and ceramic convertible straightener/crimper 
plates – all of these different styling options 
in one tool.

CURLING BASICS
1. Plug the curling iron cord into any house-
hold outlet (120V). Turn the unit on. The LED 
will be red when the unit is on. Never leave 
your curling iron on and unattended. 
2. Section dry hair evenly, and comb each sec-
tion before curling. Pressing the curl release, 
place curling iron midway up the hair section, 
then spread hair evenly between spoon and 
barrel. Release automatic curl release to hold 
hair in place. Gently slide curling iron down to 
hair ends. To avoid crimped ends, make sure 
they are securely wound under the spoon in 
the direction of the desired curl.
3. Wind the hair up as far as you want it curled, 
being careful not to let the iron touch the 
scalp. Hold in place for 8-12 seconds, depend-
ing on the texture and length of your hair. For 
tighter, bouncier curls, roll less hair. For looser, 
free flowing curls, roll more hair. 
4. To remove curling iron, unwind the hair and 
press the automatic curl release. To set the 
curl, do not comb or brush hair until it cools.

USING THE DUAL BARREL ATTACHMENT
This unique combination of heated barrels 
allows you to create beautiful oval and ribbon 
ringlets.
FOR OVAL CURLS, place smooth hair strand 
on spoon clip and roll over both barrels. Hold in 
place for 8-12 seconds. 

TO CREATE RIBBON RINGLETS, take smooth 
strand of hair and weave through barrels 
simulating a figure eight. Use caution as bar-
rels are very hot.

HOW TO CHANGE STYLING HEADS: 
Changing styling heads is easy.
1. Make sure appliance is unplugged and cool 
before changing attachments.
2. Slide down locking switch at top of handle 
to release attachments. 
Caution: For use with dual barrel styling tool, 
make sure the 5/8" barrel with the spoon 
clip is inserted into the upper handle (the one 
with colorful graphics) and locked into place. 
Lock the 1/2" barrel into the lower housing. 
If this attachment is not locked into the lower 
handle, the unit will not operate properly.
3. Hold attachments by cool tips to remove.
4. To attach the convertible straightening/
crimping plates to the power handle, simply 
insert plates into the handle and push to lock 
into place.
5. To convert from straight plates to crimper 
plates, or vice versa, hold the iron tightly 
closed. Push the rectangular button that pro-
trudes from the base of the plate to convert 
the plates.
6. To remove plates, slide the locking switches 
down and pull plates out of power handle. 

TO STRAIGHTEN HAIR
To straighten hair, use straightener styling 
plates. Start with a hair section that is 2" wide 
and no more than 1/2" thick.  Open the handle 
and place a hair section between the two hot 
plates close to your scalp. Trap hair between 
plates by firmly squeezing the handles togeth-
er. While maintaining the tension, slowly pull 
the unit down along the hair section toward 
end of hair. At the end of the hair section, 
release the pressure on the handle and allow 
the hair section to slide out. Continue this 
process on additional sections of hair until you 
achieve the hair style you desire.
For extra styling, turn the straightening iron 
under when nearing the end of the hair section. 
This will give a nice flip to your hair.
Some experience is necessary when first 
using this straightening iron. After a few uses, 
you will learn the ideal way to straighten and 
style your hair easily.
