Both SAS ranges, the Pro+ and the Professional, curl as well as they straighten. With a simple twist of the wrist you can create anything from soft waves to bouncy curls at home, no curling iron needed.

 

BEFORE YOU START:

Wash and condition your hair, then dry it completely. Never use a straightener on damp hair.

Apply a heat protectant suited to your hair type.

Choose your heat: 150–170°C for fine or coloured hair, 170–200°C for medium or wavy hair, and 200–230°C for thick or coarse hair.

Work in small sections and let each curl cool before you touch it.

 

TO CREATE BOUNCY CURLS:

Take a small section of hair, about 2–3 cm wide.

Clamp the straightener near the root, leaving a little space from the scalp.

Turn the straightener half a turn away from your face so the hair wraps around the plates.

Glide slowly down to the ends, keeping the twist as you go.

Release and let the curl cool for a few seconds to set its shape.

 

TO CREATE LARGER, LOOSER WAVES:

Take a wider section of hair, about 4–5 cm, small enough to grip firmly.

Start a little further down from the roots.

Turn the straightener half a turn and glide down a little faster than you would for tight curls.

Alternate the direction of each section for a softer, more natural look.

Once cool, run your fingers through to loosen the waves.

 

TO CREATE TWISTED (SPIRAL) CURLS:

Twist a section of hair into a rope.

Clamp the straightener lightly near the top of the twist.

Glide slowly down the twisted section to the ends.

Release, let it cool, then gently separate the curl with your fingers.

 

TIP: the standard plate is the easiest for curls. The wide plate suits thick, long or curly hair and straightens more hair in each pass.
