- Designed for use on dry hair. Colour: black.
How to Use
- Start with dry, detangled hair — this brush is a dry-styling specialist, not a wet-hair tool.
- Press and hold the power button to switch on, then give it a few seconds to reach temperature.
- Take a section, rest the paddle at the roots, and glide smoothly down to the ends. Work your way around the head.
- For the sleekest result, style each section from underneath rather than over the top.
- Switch off, unplug, and let it cool on a heat-safe surface.
Pro tip: On coarse or curly sections, let the paddle rest against the hair for a second or two before you begin the downward glide. That brief pause lets the heat do the heavy lifting, so kinks surrender in fewer passes instead of putting up a fight.
Warranty
Covered by a 2-year standard warranty from the date of purchase.
