BASIC HAIR CARE INSTRUCTIONS
The Wet 2 Straight PRO Straightener is designed with an Advanced Wet 2 Straight Technology, which combines an exclusive venting system and a moisture sensor, to style your hair in half the time with 3x more protection*.
- For optimal results, shampoo and condition your hair prior to styling.
- For extra protection use a heat protection spray.

WET 2 STRAIGHT PRO TECHNOLOGY: MOISTURE SENSOR & EXCLUSIVE VENTING SYSTEM
- The moisture sensor adjusts the temperature of the plates on each pass to ensure the optimum temperature is delivered – preventing damage.
- Meanwhile, the vents allow to quickly remove excess water, meaning you can skip the time-consuming step of blow-drying.
USE YOUR WET 2 STRAIGHT PRO SAFELY ON DRY & WET HAIR
This straightener is safe for use on dry and wet hair, using either dry or wet mode.
DRY MODE – USE ON DRY HAIR
- Dry mode is the default setting when the styler is turned on, the backlight on the display is white.
- To use on wet hair see ‘WET MODE’ below.
- Select the appropriate temperature for your hair using the +/- controls on the side of the product. Start styling on the lower temperatures first.
- The ‘+’ button will increase the temperature the ‘-‘ button will decrease the temperature.
- The temperature shown on the display will stop flashing and the device will beep three times when it is ready to use.
- Working on one section at a time, run the straightener through the entire length of the hair without stopping.
- After use, press and hold the on/off (
) button for two seconds to turn off then unplug the appliance.
RECOMMENDED TEMPERATURES
| Temperature | Hair type |
| 140°C – 160°C | Thin/fine, damaged, or bleached hair |
| 170°C – 190°C | Normal, healthy hair |
| 200°C – 230°C | Thick, very curly, and difficult to style hair |
CAUTION: the hottest temperatures should only be used by experienced stylers.
WET MODE – USE ON TOWEL-DRIED HAIR
Note: Do not use on dripping wet hair.
- Press and hold the ‘+’ button for 2 seconds to activate the wet mode.
- The device will beep, the display will turn blue and the (
) symbol will appear.
Note: The moisture sensor rapidly adjusts the temperature of the plates during each straightening pass based on how wet the hair is. This ensures that the plates are always at the optimum temperature preventing damage. These temperature changes are not displayed by the straightener but happen automatically during styling.
CAUTION: In use, ensure the vent holes are directed away from the face, neck, and scalp (Fig A). When straightening wet hair you will hear a hissing sound and the unit will steam. This is a good thing – it is the sound of excess water in your hair evaporating and this is not harmful to the condition on your hair.
- Working on one section at a time, run the straightener through the entire length of the hair without stopping. If necessary repeat until the section is dry.
- To de-activate Wet Mode hold the ‘+’ button for 2 seconds.
