The Cloud Nine Straightener - Create The Looks
Soft Curls for Medium/Long hair
Smoothing a Blow Dry without Losing Body
Flicks
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 100. Medium Hair: 150 Thick Hair 175
Creating flicks could not be easier. First, take a 4-5 cm deep section of your hair. Hold your straightener horizontally to your head, then, glide it smoothly down the hair. At around 6 cm from the end twist the iron up about 45 degrees and continue to glide the iron through to the ends. The size of section you use will determine how tight the flick will be - the smaller the section the tighter the flick

The Very Straight Hair Look
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 150. Medium Hair: 200 Thick Hair: 200
Take a horizontal section of your hair. Now carefully place your iron at the root of your hair. Angle it towards your shoulder and glide it down while keeping a firm grip. The smaller the sections used the straighter and flatter the look.

Waves
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 100. Medium Hair: 150 Thick Hair: 200
Hold your iron at a right angle from your head, with one hand on the handle and the other on the end-grips. Now give the iron half turn under the hair. Slowly, but firmly, glide it 3-4cm down. Stop and give it a half turn in the other direction. Then glide the iron down another 3-4cm. Repeat this zig zag turning all the way along the length of your hair to create a beautiful flowing wave.

Tight Curls
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 150. Medium Hair: 200 Thick Hair: 200
Just apply the same technique as soft curls, but using smaller 2-3cm sections. This gives tight curls on medium hair and a ringlet effect on long hair.

Soft Curls For Short Hair
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 125. Medium Hair: 175 Thick Hair: 175
Just because you have short hair doesn't mean you cant have soft curls. Start by taking a horizontal section of hair at the nape of the neck. Now carefully place your iron horizontally at the root. Lift your hair up with the iron so it is at a right angle from your head. Twisting the iron, give it a half turn down, then gently pull it through your hair all the way to the end. Using this simple motion creates a beautiful large barrel curl.

Soft Curls For Medium/Long Hair
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 125. Medium Hair: 175 Thick Hair: 175
Begin by sectioning your hair. Then starting at the nape of your neck gently take a3-4cm wide piece of hair. Place your iron vertically at the root, then give it a half turn, twisting it around your hair through the iron. Remember to not hold the iron too tightly or it will be difficult to work your hair through. Now, just continue this technique moving up your head to create a naturally curly look that's both soft and bouncy.

Start by sectioning your hair. Now take a 3-4 cm wide piece of hair at the nape of your neck. Holding the iron horizontally place it close to the root.

The Naturally Straight look
Temperature Setting Fine hair: 100. Medium Hair: 150 Thick Hair: 150
First, section your hair. From the nape of the neck, take a 3-4cm wide piece of hair (2-3cm for medium or thick hair). Now, apply your heated iron 3cm from the root, and holding it firmly, glide it through your hair to the end. Repeat this technique using the same smooth downwards motion on each section of your hair. The result is a smooth look, not a poker straight one.
