together, hold to keep the sec-
tion between the plates and glide
slowly from the roots to the tips.
• Note! When you are straigh-
tening, you might hear some
sizzling and see some steam. Do
not be concerned, this could be
because of evaporation of the se-
bum, some residual hair products
(leave-in hair care, hairspray, etc.)
or excess water that is evapora-
ting from your hair.
• Take up a new section of hair
and continue until your hair is all
straight.
• Repeat again if necessary, then
release the straightener.
• Give your hair the final touch.
Set your straightened hair with
a light misting of hairspray or a
little mousse, but certainly do not
brush your hair.
• After use, press the '0' button and
unplug the unit.
To shape your hair
The BaByliss pro 230 straightener
may also be used to accent certain
sections (fringe, tips turned in or
out, etc.) and to lift the roots.
• To lift the roots, take up a section
and hold it straight out from the
scalp, close the plates on the
section and rotate the unit to the
front to give the roots maximum
volume. Hold for a few seconds,
then gently straighten from the
roots to the tips.
• To turn the tips under, use as des-
cribed above but turn the unit
under (as you would with a brush
when blow drying). Keep in place
for a few seconds then release.
• To turn your tips out, do the same,
but in the other direction.
Automatic shut off
If the straightener remains on for
over 1hr 15min, it turns off auto-
matically.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
OF YOUR STRAIGHTENER
• Unplug the unit and allow it to
cool completely.
• Clean the plates using a soft,
damp cloth, without detergent,
to preserve the optimal quality
of the plates. Do not scratch the
plates.
• Store the straighteners with the
plates pressed together to pro-
tect them.
