ENGLISH Preparing for use Washing The straightener gives the best results on well-washed hair. We advise you to follow the washing tips below: . When washing your hair, wet your hair thoroughly for 30-60 seconds. . Pour some shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair. . Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull long hair up onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles. . Massage your scalp with your fingertips.This stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles. . Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair. Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine. Drying To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for straightening. Dr y you hair properly with a hairdr yer to ensure a professional, smooth finish. . After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle hair gently from the roots to the tips. . Divide the hair into sections by means of clips, starting at the back. . Dry each section by pulling a straightening brush down the hair length while following the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing towards the hair ends. . When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the cold setting for a final cold shot.This closes the cuticles and leaves your hair glossier. B Tip: Philips Salon Pro hairdr yers have a lower dr ying temperature and a stronger airflow than regular dr yers. Thanks to this combination, they dr y just as quickly as regular hairdr yers but in a gentler way.
