How to Use a Spiral Curling Iron?
Spiral curls are best created on hair that is shoulder length or slightly longer and cut with lots of layers in varying lengths. Super curly or wavy hair should have long layers to help add weight to the curls and waves. Medium to thick hair has an advantage over fine or thin hair. Spirals can be created on straight strands but it will involve additional steps. Naturally curly or wavy hair is ideal for perfect spirals.
Instructions for Use
Heating the Iron
- Insert the plug into an AC electrical outlet.
- Slide the Power Switch to ON indicated by the “1”.
- When the Heat-Ready Dot changes from red to black, the Iron is ready to use. It will take approximately three minutes for the Heat-Ready Dot to change.
- To prepare the Iron for steam, Press the Reservoir down 3-4 times to allow steam to flow
- through the Iron. The steam may not always be visible under normal conditions of use. If you
- hear a hissing sound, steam is being released.
- Caution: Do not leave the Iron near plastic, easily melted or flammable materials while the Barrel is hot.
Using the Iron
Use only on dry hair.
For better curl control, it is recommended to add a styling mousse or styling spray to towel
dried hair. Thoroughly dry the hair and proceed with curling.
- Comb through hair and loosen any tangles.
- Gather a section of hair 1 inch wide. Make sure that the section is not too thick or hair will not curl properly.
- Press the Lever to raise the Hair Clamp.
- Insert the end of the hair under the Hair Clamp on the side where the arrows are facing.(Diagram D)
- Lower the Hair Clamp to secure the hair against the Barrel.
- Rotate the handle counterclockwise to wind the hair along the Barrel between the guides. It is easier if you support the Reservoir loosely with the other hand.
- Press the Reservoir to make steam. Thicker hair might need two or three presses.
- Hold the curl in place for about 30 seconds (longer for thicker or naturally curly hair).
- Unwind carefully, raise the Hair Clamp to release the hair, and let the curl cool.
Curling Technique
Before Curling:
Using sections is helpful when curling hair.
- Begin by sectioning off a "U" shape at the top crown of the head and clip.
- Next, section off each side by taking a part from the crown section to the back of the ear and clip. This divides the front side from the back of the head.
- Take the back section and divide that horizontally from ear to ear and clip both sections.
- Within each section take 1-inch vertical sections. Unclip one section at a time.
- Start curling the hair at the back nape of the neck and work your way up the back of the head.
Caution:
Do not rest Iron on skin.
- Once the back is finished, continue on to the sides.
- The crown of the head will be the last to be curled. Divide the crown into 3 vertical sections. It is easiest to take one long 1- inch section from part to part, then divide that into a 1-inch wide section.
