Straight hair: Run a comb through a small section of hair (about 1-2 inches), separating the hair strands. Remember the 1 inch ceramic styler is for use only on dry hair. Starting as close as possible to your scalp, place the combed section of hair in between the ceramic plates of your tourmaline styler. Close the styler with a gentle grip. Slowly and carefully pull the styler away from your scalp, allowing your hair to glide through the tourmaline plates, because of the floating plates design you should not feel any pulling or tugging. Repeat the above steps for all your hair section by section until you are finished.
