This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
GETTING STARTED
The secret to Curl Secret® 2.0 is how easy it makes creating the perfect curl – a tight spiral, a big, loose curl, even a relaxed wave – one after another! Hair goes in, curl comes out. It’s that simple. First, decide what type of curl you’d like – spirals or tighter curls, which can be shaped into a vintage chic style, or bigger curls or relaxed waves, which are beautiful on their own, and can be tousled into a natural, “undone” look. For spirals or tighter curls, choose the smaller, 1-inch attachment, the high heat setting and the 12- or 14-second timer setting. For a looser curl or wave, we recommend the larger 1¼-inch attachment, the low setting and the 8- or 10-second timer setting. As you use this innovative, new styler, you’ll discover the settings that let you best create the curls you want.
- Always change or remove attachments before plugging the appliance in and switching it on.
- To remove the attachment, press the two buttons on the two sides of the attachment at the same time, using your thumb and index finger.
- To position the attachment, place it onto the appliance head until it clicks in.
- Plug in the appliance, switch on, and select the desired temperature using the OFF/LOW/HIGH switch. See table below:
| Temperature 1¼ inch | Temperature 1 inch | Hair type |
| LOW: 374°F | LOW: 410°F | Fine, bleached, and/or damaged hair |
| HIGH: 410°F | HIGH: 450°F | Normal hair, thick and wavy, or dyed |
- The indicator light comes on and will start to flash.
- The indicator light will stop flashing when the appliance has heated up to the selected temperature. The appliance is now ready to use; the indicator light will stay on.
- Select the time setting, depending on the desired curl effect. For loose curls, select the minimum time setting. For tighter curls, select the maximum time setting. Please refer to the table below:
| Time | Audio beep indicator | Curl effect |
| 8 seconds (1¼ in.) 10 seconds (1 in.) | 3 beeps (1¼ in.) 4 beeps (1 in.) | Loose waves |
| 10 seconds (1¼ in.) 12 seconds (1 in.) | 4 beeps (1¼ in.) 5 beeps (1 in.) | Soft curls |
| 12 seconds (1¼ in.) 14 seconds (1 in.) | 5 beeps (1¼ in.) 6 beeps (1 in.) | Defined curls |
- Select the adjustment of the direction of the curl, according to the desired result:
- For an even, more sophisticated style, adjust the appliance to the “L” (left) position, to create curls on the left side of the head. Then adjust the appliance to the “R” (right) position, to create curls on the right side of the head.
- For a softer, more natural style, adjust the appliance to the “A” (automatic) position. This adjustment will create alternating curls, first in one direction and then the opposite.
WARNING: The styler’s titanium ceramic-coated curl chamber will get very hot within a few seconds and should not be placed in contact with the skin after the styler has been turned
on.
TO CURL HAIR
Hair should be clean, completely dry and combed before you use the curling device.
- Begin by carefully combing through hair to smooth it. Then take a ½-in. to 1-in. section (Fig. A).
- Please note the styler must be positioned into the hair with the opening of the curl chamber facing toward the head (Fig. B).
- Position the styler where you want the curl to start. The hair section must be straight, and placed neatly through the center of the hair guide
(Fig. C and D).
- Once the hair is in place, let go of the hair section and close the handle to allow the hair to be automatically taken into the curl chamber (Fig. E).
- Open the Curl Secret® 2.0 and gently pull it away from the head to release a perfect curl (Fig. F)!
Let it cool in place for a minute to set the curl. Quick heat-up and recovery, and Curl Secret® 2.0’s fully automatic curling technology let you make consistently perfect curls – one after another – effortlessly! It’s a revolutionary new way to curl your hair. Fast, easy, and always perfect, curl after curl
- The hair is automatically drawn into the ceramic curl chamber, where it is softly held and heated from all directions to effortlessly form the curl.
- If you are using the timer setting, the automatic beep indicator will start as soon as the handles are closed together. There will be a series of individual beeps. Hold the styler still, with the handles held together, until the end of the individual beeps. The amount of beeps will depend on the chosen timer setting. This indicates that the time is up and you can remove the styler from your hair.
NOTE:
Always release the handles first to set the curl free; if you pull away before you open the handles, the curl will be straightened out.
• To allow the curl to set, do not comb or brush the hair until it cools.
• Repeat around the head until you have the amount of curls desired.
NOTE:
Do not use this styling appliance on hair extensions.
ADDED FEATURES
Curl Secret® 2.0 comes with 4 functions for added safety and energy savings:
Anti-Tangle Feature: Curl Secret® 2.0 is safe and easy to use when used properly. However, should improper use occur, the anti-tangle feature has been designed to immediately stop drawing the hair in and will reverse to a neutral position. Simply open the handles and ease hair out of the curl chamber.
Auto Shut-Off: If the appliance is switched on for more than 60 minutes continuously, it will automatically switch off. If you wish to continue using the appliance, simply slide the switch to the OFF position and then slide the switch to the relevant setting to turn the power on.
Sleep Mode: Energy efficient – after 20 minutes of idle time, temperature drops to around 150˚C/300˚F.
Motion Sensor: Ends sleep mode and reheats to selected temperature when handle is closed.
NOTE: Curl chamber will be hot to the touch.
NOTE: Curl Secret® 2.0’s new brushless motor technology uses magnets instead of brushes to sense any change in speed, and turns itself off as an added safety feature and to ensure tangle-free curling action. Minimizes weight, maximizes curl control, and significantly extends the life of your appliance.
NOTE: If you continue to hold the hair section after closing the handle, Curl Secret® 2.0 will stop and beep to indicate that you must release the tension on the hair. If you have taken too much hair, or hair is not neatly going through the center of the appliance, the Curl Secret® 2.0 will again stop and beep to indicate a problem. This safety feature ensures there will be no tangles.
MOST IMPORTANT: If hair does get tangled, unplug the unit and gently work the hair out of the unit. Take very small strands, one at a time, and slowly remove from the chamber. If hair is tight around the barrel, carefully and gently loosen up hair outside of the tool with your fingers, removing small sections at a time. Make sure fingers do not come in contact with heated chamber.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CURL SECRET
Effortlessly create long-lasting, beautiful curls. Hair is automatically drawn into the titanium ceramic Curl chamber where it is softly held and heated from all directions to effortlessly form the curl. Then, simply release. The result is beautiful, free-flowing curls.

IONIC TECHNOLOGY
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man-made fibers and air pollution, contribute to a buildup of static electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair can increase these levels, causing the surface of the cuticle to become rough. Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. Also, high levels of static charge cause hair to become flyaway and difficult to style.
The ion generator produces a stream of negative ions that act to neutralize the static charge, smoothing the scales on the cuticle for shiny, smooth and manageable hair, so you can achieve your desired style easily.
NOTE: The unit may produce a clicking sound at times, which is normal for a high-output ion generator.
THE NEW TITANIUM CERAMIC EASY-GLIDE STYLER
The Curl Secret® 2.0 has a titanium ceramic, easy-glide, coated surface, the newest technology. This means it’s not only simpler to clean off styling product residue, etc., after each use, but you’ll find that hair glides easily over the coated surface of the curl chamber as you’re curling. The titanium ceramic-coated surface also helps smooth down flyaway and frizzes.
It evenly distributes heat so that the style you create has a salon-perfect, silky smooth, shining finish. Hair also slips right through the curl chamber after it’s curled.
The new Titanium Ceramic™ technology makes styling your hair easier and the results more professional.
Never leave your style on and unattended. However, should you fail to turn the style off, it will shut itself off automatically within 60 minutes.
USING INSTANT HEAT, THE 2 HIGH HEAT TEMPERATURE SETTINGS and UNIFORM HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM
This styler features a high-performance heater that maintains constant temperature during use for precision styling. This Instant Heat technology has two high heat temperature settings. There is a temperature that’s gentle and safe for every type of hair, from the finest to the curliest and most resistant, and helps you create the look you want. And that’s not all. Conair’s professional salon standards of engineering provide you with a uniform and improved heat recovery system that maintains the styler at constant temperatures. There is a constant surge of power to ensure that heat is continuously and quickly delivered for optimal styling results, unlike other units, which lose heat during use.
This provides consistent styling power so that every strand of your hair is set with the same level of heat and comes out the same way for a perfect finish.
Curl Secret® 2.0 is energy efficient. The sleep mode function drops the styler’s temperature to 300°F
if styler remains idle after 20 minutes. And auto shut-off turns the Curl Secret® 2.0 off after 60 minutes.
IMPORTANT
A heat-protective glove has been supplied to help protect your hand from temporary contact with the styler.
Please note that the heat-protective glove is only designed to give initial contact protection. Discomfort will be caused by prolonged contact with the hot surface.
USER MAINTENANCE
Your styler is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. Keep all vents and openings clear of dirt and dust. If cleaning becomes necessary, disconnect the unit from the power source, allow to cool and wipe exterior with a cloth. If any abnormal condition occurs, unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and return it for repair to an authorized service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the appliance, causing it to rupture and short circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or if unit stops or operates intermittently.
STORAGE
When not in use, your appliance is easy to store. Allow appliance to cool, then simply store out of reach of children in a safe, dry location. Do not jerk or strain cord at plug connections. Do not wrap the line cord around the appliance. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the appliance.
WARNING: IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE WRONG
KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination. But did you know that an electric appliance is still electrically live even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using your appliances, keep them unplugged.
