Complete Guide: How to Use the Curlmate Step by Step for Perfect Curls

Before you start: prepare your hair

For the best results with the Curlmate, always start with clean, completely dry hair. Heat on damp hair can cause irreparable damage.

• Wash and dry your hair completely before curling
• Apply heat protectant from roots to ends
• Detangle thoroughly with a natural bristle brush
• Divide hair into sections of 2–3 cm thickness

Step 1: choose the right temperature

The Curlmate offers 6 temperature levels between 150°C and 200°C:

• 150–160°C — Fine, colour-treated, or very damaged hair
• 170–180°C — Normal or highlighted hair
• 190–200°C — Thick, curly, or very coarse hair

Step 2: insert the section

Place the section in the opening of the Curlmate. The device will automatically curl it into the ceramic barrel. Keep the styler in a vertical position.

Step 3: wait 8–12 seconds

• 8 seconds — Soft, natural waves
• 10 seconds — Classic defined curls
• 12 seconds — Tight, long-lasting curls

Step 4: release and set

Release the section and, if you want longer-lasting results, hold the curl in the palm of your hand for 5 seconds while it cools. This sets the curl and makes it more resilient.

Step 5: the finish

Once all sections are curled, gently run your fingers through to separate the curls. Apply a few drops of hair oil for shine and definition.

Extra tips

• Always curl in the same direction within each section
• Don't touch the curls until they are completely cool
• Use a light-hold hairspray for longer-lasting results
