• Allow the hot straightener to heat
up for about a minute. The red
indicator light will stop  ashing
when the unit has heated up to
the selected temperature. Your
straightener is now ready to use;
the red indicator light will stay
on.
• Take a section about 2 to 3 cm
wide and place it between the
two heating plates, near the roots
of the hair. To avoid any risk of
burn from the steam, make sure
you do not point the straighte-
ner’s steam vents at your face,
scalp or hands.
• Press the straightener handles
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.
• If your roots are still a little damp
or if you would like to produce
more volume, bend forward and
gently dry with a hairdryer.
• Give your hair the  nal touch.
Set your straightened hair with
a light misting of hairspray or a
little mousse, but certainly do not
brush your hair.
• The pro 230 Wet N’ Dry straighte-
ner can also be used on dry hair.
Follow the above instructions,
but dry your hair  rst.
• After use, press the ‘0’ button and
unplug the unit.
To shape your hair
The BaByliss pro 230 Wet N’ Dry
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.
Turbo Function
Press the Turbo button (the green
indicator light will come on) to
increase the temperature of the
straightener instantly by about
20°. Straightening unruly sections
will in this way be much easier.
Press the same button again to
deactivate the Turbo.
Note: to reach 230°, turn the
control to maximum and activate
the turbo.
Automatic shut o
If the straightener remains on for
over 1hr 15min, it turns o 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.
