STYLING WITH THE EASY-GLIDE
CERAMIC-COATED PLATES
The straightening iron’s 25 temperature settings
and Instant Heat technology combine to provide
styling versatility for all hair textures. If you have
fine hair, a low temperature will provide the best
results. If you have thick, wavy or hard-to-straight-
en hair, keep the heat setting high. You can vary
the straightening iron’s temperature according
to your particular need!

The plates of your new straightening iron have
an Easy-Glide ceramic-coated surface, the new-
est technology.

Average to thick or treated hair
Medium 6-11
Hair glides easily over the surface of the plates
as you’re straightening. The ceramic-coated
surface also helps smooth down flyaways and
frizzies. As you smooth each strand, heat is
evenly distributed so that the style you create
has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish.
Hair slips right off the plates after it’s straightened,
and the ceramic surface is easy to clean.
