The new Philips SalonStraight Active Ion provides super-shiny straightening results. The ioniser generates streams of negative ions that surround and condition your hair. Ions reduce frizz and static electricity and leave your hair looking soft, smooth and shiny.
This manual introduces the Philips HP4638 SalonStraight Active Ion hair straightener, describing its ion technology and ceramic‑coated plates for smooth, shiny results. It includes important safety warnings such as keeping the appliance away from water and checking the voltage before use.
The guide covers preparing hair (washing, drying, sectioning), operating the device (plug in, switch on, heat‑up time, styling technique), and cleaning after use. Additional information on electromagnetic compliance and maintenance tips is also provided.
Wash your hair, rinse thoroughly, towel‑dry, comb to remove tangles, divide into sections, then dry with a hairdryer until the hair is dry or almost dry.
Plug the appliance into a wall socket, slide the on/off switch to ON, wait about 90 seconds for the plates to heat up, then place a hair section between the plates and slide the straightener down the length of the hair.
Make sure the appliance is switched off and unplugged, let it cool completely on a heat‑resistant surface, then wipe the body with a damp cloth.
