CURL SECRET OPTIMUM

IONIC CONDITIONING

Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact

with man-made ﬁbres & air pollution add to the build-up of static

electricity in your hair. Even simply brushing & towel-drying your

hair can increase these levels. This static charge causes the scales,

or cuticles of the hair, to push hair strands apart, resulting in a rough

hair surface. Consequently, your hair may have a dull appearance.

High levels of static charge cause your hair to become ‘ﬂyaway’ &

dicult to style.

The advanced internal ionic generator conditions hair by

emitting negative ions to reduce static, leaving your hair silky

& shiny with reduced frizz.

It is quite normal to hear a subtle buzzing sound, similar to a crackle

as this is the characteristic noise of the ion generator.

CURL SECRET OPTIMUM

HOW TO USE

THE CURL SECRET

The Curl Secret is a new type of styling tool & works dierently

to any other curling stylers you may have used in the past.

It is essential you read these instructions before use.

It is also recommended you view our “How To” video before styling

on our website at vssassoon.com.au or on YouTube under, Curl

Secret Optimum.

IMPORTANT:

Hair that has been heavily bleached or chemically treated should

only use the low heat setting on this product. Please consult your

hairdresser on using heated appliances if you have any concerns

about the condition of your hair.

BEFORE USING

• Remove all packaging & point of sale labels before use.

• Remove plastic cover from plug before use (used to protect it

from damage during transportation).

CURL SECRET OPTIMUM

ANTI-TANGLE PROTECTION SYSTEM

The appliance is ﬁtted with an anti-tangle protection system. If hair

becomes tangled, the appliance emits an audible signal, it blocks &

stops heating. If this occurs, release the handles, ensuring that the

appliance & section of hair are correctly positioned, then simply re-

close the handles to deactivate the security system & re-start the

appliance.

Hair could become tangled due to:

Possible Cause: The section of hair being inserted into the curl

chamber is too thick/big.

Solution: BEFORE USE - Section hair and comb through until its

completely tangle-free. Clip away each section not being styled

with sectioning clips. Ensure there are no stray hairs within each of

the sections.

Take a section of hair no wider than the opening of the chamber -

approx less than 3cm, depending on your hair length.

For longer hair, take smaller sections and start curling from the mid-

lengths to ends of the hair section.

ALWAYS ensure that you place the entire smooth section of hair

into the curl chamber.

ENSURE ALL OF THE HAIR SECTION SITS INSIDE THE OPENING

OF THE CURL CHAMBER - THERE SHOULD BE NO STRAY HAIRS.

Possible Cause: Hair was not combed through/is not free of knots.

Solution: Section hair and comb through before styling. Ensure that

all hair is brushed or combed through thoroughly ﬁrst to ensure that

it is free of all knots and tangles.

Possible Cause: The handles were closed before the section of hair

was correctly and fully inserted into the curl chamber funnel.

Solution: Ensure that ENTIRE hair section is inserted into the curl

chamber funnel BEFORE the closing the handles.

CURL SECRET OPTIMUM

MIX SETTING = ALTERNATE CURLS WARNING!

Possible Cause: Handles have been opened before all required

beeps. Hair has become tangled after re-closing the handles.

Solution: If you release the handles whilst hair is curling and then re-

close while your hair is still in the curler, the curler will start spinning

the other way because it now thinks it is creating a new curl...

this will create a tangle in your hair.

If you lose your grip on the handles accidentally during curling

remove the styler from hair immediately.

To correctly curl a hair section - close and continuously keep the

handles closed to draw the hair section into the curl chamber,

making sure 100% of the hair section enters the curl chamber at the

same time.

DO NOT release the handles until you hear the required succession

of slow beeps corresponding to the timer setting you’ve selected.

CURL SECRET OPTIMUM

SLEEP MODE

If the appliance is not in use for more than 20 minutes, the

temperature will automatically reduce to around 150°C. If you wish

to continue using the appliance after this time, simply close then

release the handles & the appliance will return to the temperature

setting previously selected.

AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF

This appliance has an automatic shut o feature for added safety. If

the appliance is switched on for more than 60 minutes continuously,

it will automatically switch o. If you wish to continue using the

appliance after this time, simply press “ ” button again to turn the

power on.

HEAT MAT

The appliance comes with a heat mat for use during & after styling.

During use do not place the appliance on any heat sensitive surface,

even when using the heat mat provided. After use, switch o &

unplug the appliance. Immediately wrap the appliance in the heat

mat provided & allow to fully cool down. Continue to keep it out of

reach of children as it will remain hot for several minutes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Ensure your hair is clean, completely dry & free from hairspray.

Hairspray may cause the hair to heat up to astronomical

temperatures & stick like glue, in-turn creating diculty to

remove hair from the styler.

1. IMPORTANT - You must section your hair and comb through

until its completely tangle-free before use.

The secret to nailing your look is to create 3 sections.

This will ensure your style always looks consistent.

a) Use a comb or ﬁngers and create the top section, from temple

to temple and clip away on top of the head with a sectioning

clip.

b) Create the middle section from ear to ear and clip away with a

sectioning clip.

c) The hair left down is your bottom section.

d) Always start with the bottom section ﬁrst and once

completely styled as desired, unclip the middle section, style

and then unclip the top section. When using the Curl Secret

Optimum you will need to divide the hair into smaller sections.

Refer to DETERMING THE CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for

more detail.

For more information on sectioning and using the Curl Secret

Optimum go to vssassoon.com.au.

5. Select the adjustment of the direction of the curl by pressing

(3), according to the desired result.

6. Starting with the bottom section, at the nape of the neck, work

towards the front of your head taking further small individual

sections no wider than 3cms. Refer to DETERMING THE

CORRECT HAIR SECTION SIZE for more detail.

7. Position the styler where you want the curl to start - for longer

hair, take smaller sections and start curling from the mid-lengths

to ends of the hair section. Refer to DETERMING THE CORRECT

HAIR SECTION SIZE for more detail (Fig.1 & 2). Always ensure

that the front of the styler is facing the head (Fig. 3 & 4). Always

ensure that the hair section is combed through, completely

tangle-free hair and that there are NO stray hairs within the

section.

ALWAYS ensure that you place the entire smooth section of

hair into the curl chamber.

ENSURE ALL OF THE HAIR SECTION SITS INSIDE THE

OPENING OF THE CURL CHAMBER - THERE SHOULD BE NO

STR AY HAIRS .

8. With your free hand take hold of the tip of the section ensuring

it is STRAIGHT, with NO STRAY HAIRS & place ALL OF THE

SECTIONED HAIR, NEATLY in the funnel situated between the

two handles (Fig. 5) ensuring you are not pulling your hair before

activating the handles (Fig. 6 & 7). Make sure 100% of the hair

section enters the barrel at the same time.

IMPORTANT - Your hair may become tangled if these instructions

are not followed or if any hair is held loosely and falls away without

100% of it entering the curl chamber at the same time.

Fig. 5 Fig. 6

9. Once the section of hair is in place, close the handles to allow the

hair to automatically enter into the styler.

IMPORTANT - Your hair may become tangled if these instructions

are not followed or if any hair is held loosely and falls away without

100% of it entering the barrel at the same time.

10. Keep the handles closed until the beeping stops (Fig.8) (after 3,

4 or 5 beeps depending on the selected time setting), refer to

Intuitive Auto Curl. Ensure your grip does not loosen, as this will

cause the styler to spin the other way & create a tangle.

CURL SECRET OPTIMUM

IMPORTANT - Should your grip loosen & the styler opens slightly,

DO NOT RECLOSE the styler, for it will start spinning the other

way as it thinks it should be creating a new curl & a tangle will

form.
