1. Begin by ensuring your hair is clean and completely combed through, free of knots or tangles.

2. Plug in the flat iron and turn it on using the ON/OFF button.

3. Adjust the temperature using the dial to your desired setting.

4. Section your hair starting at the ear line, securing the top section with clips.

5. For each section (no larger than 2in/5cm), place your hair firmly between the ceramic plates, as close to the roots as safely possible.

6. Slowly glide the flat iron down the length of your hair, pulling it away from the roots, allowing your hair to pass smoothly through the floating plates.

7. Repeat this process section by section until you’ve styled all your hair.

8. Allow your hair to cool before further styling or touching.

9. Once done, turn off the flat iron using the ON/OFF button and unplug it from the socket.
