Step 4. Once you have curling, make sure the hair has completely cooled down before touching to allow it time to set. You can brush out the curls to loosen them up. Finish by using an extra spray of Mermade Mist for hold and shine, or a flexible workable spray for more hold. Step 1. Hair should be clean, dry and free of tangles before using. Plug the attachment into the Styling Wand base (sold separately) and rest the iron on the heat mat provided. Step 2. Long hold the power button to turn on or off. Short hold the power button to increase or decrease the heat. The lights will flash as the tool is heating up to the desired heat. For healthier styling we suggest using 180°C/360°F heat setting. The lights will flash until it reaches the desired temperature. Step 3. If you are curling your whole head, start by dividing hair into sections with our Grip Clips. Spray each section liberally with a heat protectant, like our Mermade Mist. Wrap the hair around the barrel and hold for 2-5 seconds. We recommend wrapping hair away from your head to create a nice frame around the face. Be careful not to touch the scalp with the tool.
