A. Before using the iron, put an appropriate amount in your hand. Apply it to the ends first, working it into them with a squeezing, gripping action. Next, work the oil evenly into the rest of your hair by combing through it with your fingers. Then, dividing your hair into several sections, take each section and slowly pass the iron through to curl/straighten your hair. Once you've done that, style it into the shape you want. However, this is only an example, so you can use it however you like. Please read the precautions on the back of the product before you use it.
