Not suitable for use in a bath or shower.
WARNING: Do not use this appliance near bathtubs, showers,
basins or other vessels containing water.
1. Remove all packaging and keep safe until satisfied with your
product.
2. DO NOT plug in until ready to use.
USAGE
This appliance is fitted with a 'Positive Neon Heat Ready System'
for easy guide to all heating requirements.
1. The flexi-stylers can be used on damp or dry hair. If being used on
damp hair, ensure hair is 80% dry.
2. Ensure all flexi-stylers have been straightened and are placed in
the slots inside the case.
3. Ensure the case is closed. Position the unit on a flat, hard, heat
resistant surface ensuring it is stable.
4. Fully unwind the mains cable and plug the unit into a suitable
mains supply and switch on. The heater starts warming the
flexi-stylers and the neon indicator light will illuminate.
Do not cover the unit during the heating cycle.
5. After approximately 10 minutes the heater will cycle off and the
neon indicator light will go out. The flexi-stylers are now at a
gentle heat, suitable for fine, sensitive hair.
6. After approximately 12 minutes, the heater will cycle on to
continue heating the flexi-stylers. The neon indicator light will
illuminate.
4
7. After approximately 15 minutes, the heater will cycle off again and
the neon indicator will go out. The flexi-stylers are now at
medium heat, suitable for normal hair.
8. After approximately 17 minutes the heater will cycle on to
continue heating the flexi-stylers and the neon indicator will
illuminate.
9. After approximately 20 minutes, the heater cycles off and the neon
indicator will go out. The flexi-stylers are now at maximum heat,
suitable for thick, difficult to style hair.
The NHS004 will now continue to cycle at maximum heat until it is
unplugged from the mains supply.
The cycling action of the neon indicator light will remind you to unplug
the unit after use.
NOTE: Hair types outlined are there for guidance only. Some
experimentation will be needed to discover the best temperature
setting for your hair type and style.
USING FLEXI-STYLERS
1. Take a section of hair and comb straight, holding taut with one
hand.
2. Place a pre-heated flexi-styler parallel across the inside of the
section of hair, approximately 50mm (2 inches) from your roots.
There should be 25mm (1 inch) of the flexi-styler on one side of
the section of hair.
3. Now take the end of the hair section and wind round the
flexi-styler all in one movement. It is important not to let go of the
hair.
4. Now holding the ends of the flexi-stylers, unwind a little, and then
rewind so you trap the ends of the hair and stop it from
unravelling.
5. Secure by folding the ends of the flexi-styler over each other.
NOTE: The finished result is governed by the size of sections you
take, the positions of the flexi-stylers, and the length of time the
flexi-stylers are left in your hair.
5
FOR CURLS WITH MORE VOLUME
You can create even more volume by twisting your hair before
winding it onto the flexi-styler. To do this, take a small section of your
hair, twist and wind round the flexi-styler. Now twist the flexi-styler in a
semi circle. Continue working in this manner before turning over the
ends of the flexi-styler to secure in the normal way. Leave the
flexi-stylers until completely cool before removing.
FOR LOOSER CURLS AND WAVES
To achieve smooth results it is essential that
you work cleanly and neatly. Working from a
centre or side parting take 75mm (3 inch) wide
sections.
Drag your hair down flat to your head, and wind
onto the flexi-stylers. Do not wind the flexi-styler
completely up to the root, instead leave 75mm
(3 inches) of hair in order to achieve a smoother
look.
FOR TIGHTER SPIRAL CURLS
Work straight back from your hairline and
divide your hair into small sections - each
approximately 25mm (1 inch). Wind onto the
flexi-stylers as described.
FOR SOFT TUMBLING CURLS
Work straight back from your hairline, dividing
your hair into medium sections - each
approximately 50mm (2 inches) and wind onto
flexi-stylers as described.
