Steam styling is easy once you know two things: press gently, and glide slowly. Here's everything else.

Steam Magic™ Styling Iron

The two-pass steam method

Steam Magic™ looks like a flat iron on purpose, so it feels familiar. But it rewards a different technique from a regular straightener:

Press gently

No need to clamp hard. The ribbed plates pull hair straight as it glides through.

Glide slowly

Match your speed to how wet the hair is — wetter hair, slower pass. Steam protects every strand the whole way.

  1. Start with damp hair

    After washing, gently towel-dry from roots to ends. Hair should be wet enough to cling together in bundles, but not dripping.

  2. First pass — slow

    Once the iron is hot, take a relatively large section (2–3× what you'd use with a regular iron). Press gently and glide very slowly from roots to ends. The large bundle will separate into many small ones.

  3. Pause 2–3 seconds

    Don't touch or comb yet. Let the hair absorb the vapour around it, then comb through.

  4. Second pass — a little faster

    Glide again, a bit quicker, so the small bundles separate into individual strands. Hair may feel slightly tacky from the vapour.

  5. Pause, then comb

    Wait another 2–3 seconds. The tackiness disappears and hair feels soft, smooth, glossy and cool.

Why the pause matters: hair can only absorb water as vapour. Touching it too soon turns the steam back into droplets that just sit on the surface.

Curling

Moisturize first using the steam method above, then curl just as you would with a regular flat iron. Because hair goes into the curl rich in water, it won't feel dry and brittle afterwards. Use 180–200°C for curls.

Dry hair

Use it like a traditional straightener. The silicone layers around the plates still protect you from heat and give a soft, steady feel. For a quick refresh, mist a section with water or a nourishing serum and use the steam method.

Temperature guide

Find your setting.

Adjust the temperature to the size of the section and how wet it is. When in doubt, start lower.

130–160°C250–300°F
  • Dry hair
  • Very small sections: bangs, temples, ends
160–180°C300–350°F
  • Normal-sized damp sections — the everyday setting (sections 2–3× larger than with a regular iron)
180–200°C350–400°F
  • Curling
  • Very large damp sections (4–5× a regular iron's section)
200–230°C400–450°F
  • Not recommended for everyday use. Reserve for special cases that truly need high heat.
Mini Magic™ Hot Brush

Smooth as you brush.

Perfect for everyday straightening, damp-to-dry styling and quick touch-ups.

Styling tips

  • Wash and condition before styling; partially dry first
  • For longer-lasting results, comb a little mousse or styling gel through first
  • Use clips to section; work in small sections
  • Start at the back of the head and work forward to the sides and front
  • Never wrap hair around the brush more than twice
  1. Check the voltage

    Make sure the rating label matches your local supply (120–240 V). Don't use a voltage converter.

  2. Pre-heat

    Slide the power switch to ON. The LED lights up while the brush heats.

  3. Section & detangle

    Divide hair into sections about 5 cm (2″) wide. Comb through, starting at the ends and working up.

  4. Brush root to tip

    Place the brush at the roots and slide slowly to the ends. Slow, steady strokes spread heat evenly and add shine.

  5. Repeat

    Continue section by section until you're done, then switch off and unplug.

Care & storage

Virtually maintenance-free.

Cleaning

Unplug and let it cool completely. Wipe with a slightly damp cloth, then dry thoroughly. Never immerse in water.

Storage

Store cool and dry, out of reach of children. Don't wrap the cord around the tool — let it hang loose and straight.

If something's wrong

Unplug, let it cool, and contact us. Please don't attempt repairs yourself — it's covered by your warranty.

Safety first: keep away from water, never leave a plugged-in tool unattended, and keep out of reach of children. Read the full safety guide in your product manual.
