• Remove your fingers when the brush is close to hair ends to avoid touching the bristles.

Setup Guide

To set up and use the Philips Heated Straightening Brush BHH880, follow these steps:

1. Plug in the device and wait for it to heat up (approximately 60 seconds).
2. Choose your desired temperature setting based on your hair type.
3. Brush your hair as you would with a regular hairbrush, ensuring even contact between the ceramic plates and your hair.
4. For best results, section your hair and style it in small portions.
5. Once you're done, turn off the device and unplug it for safe storage.

To straighten your hair

1. Use a round brush or comb to detangle your hair before using.
2. Select one section of hair and put the heated brush (3) underneath the hair strand with bristles facing upwards, about 3cm away from your hair roots.
3. Hold the selected hair section taut. Slide down the brush slowly to your hair ends in a single motion and slightly turn in the brush as you reach the ends to give soft flicks to the ends.
4. Allow the section of hair to cool for 2-3 seconds. On the same hair with brush facing downwards, hold the hair taut and slowly slide down to your hair ends in a single motion without stopping.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 as necessary until you get your desired results.
6. To turn off the appliance, slide the switch (1) to O.
7. Let the hair sections cool down before you finger-comb the hair into its final style. For long lasting results, mist with hairspray.

Tips and Tricks

• Flatten the selected section of hair between your fingers before placing hair on the brush so that hair is spread evenly across the brush.
• Place selected hair as close as possible to the heated base of the brush to ensure there is good contact with hair for better styling results.

After use

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Place it on a heat-resistant surface until it cools down.
