The Ella Bella 1.25" (oval) Ceramic Curling iron allows you to always get the perfect curl with minimal heat damage . Designed with all hair types in mind, the Rotary Temperature Control feature will allow you to maneuver the tail of the tool clockwise or anti clock wise to select your ideal desired temperature ranging from 180°F-410°F. The temperature will be clearly displayed on the LCD screen, and your heat proof glove (included with your curling iron) will ensure your hand is protected at all times. The Ella Bella Ceramic Curling Iron is also designed with your safety in mind. Our Automatic Switch Of feature will ensure you never have worry about whether you left your curling iron on again, as your Ella Bella Ceramic Curling Iron will automatically turn off after 60 minutes of non use. Our product is incredibly easy to use, and is the perfect curling iron for long hair or shorter styles. With the ability to create looser waves or tighter curls on all lengths of hair , simply follow these steps to create your ideal style: Step 1: Simply turn the tail of your curling iron tool clockwise to switch on and rotate the tail to your desired temperature. Step 2: Wrap a 1- 1 1/2 inch thick piece of hair between the curl clip and the barrel starting at the end of the hair. Step 3: Wind the section of hair round the barrel from tip to root and hold there for approximately 10 seconds. Step 4: Release the curl clip and gently remove the hair from the barrel. Tip: Hold curl in hand or gently pin until it cools completely before releasing to ensure a longer lasting curl. It's that simple.
