VOLOOM Petite is a revolutionary new kind of hair iron that is specifically designed to add lasting volume to short (about 4") to medium length, layered or fine hair. The secret to VOLOOM is in the patented plates. Used in the under-layers of hair, VOLOOM Petite creates hidden volume pockets that lift the top layers up and away from the scalp and face, helping to take years off your appearance. By lifting and separating individual hairs, VOLOOM creates that lush mane of hair you’ve always wanted. No mousses, gels or sprays that weigh hair down and leave it looking flat, dull and lifeless. It takes minutes and is so easy anyone can do it. VOLOOM Petite is designed to be used only on the hair near the scalp that is rich in natural protective oils – your own natural heat protection. It is never pulled through the hair or used on the ends of hair most prone to damage. Plus, VOLOOM Petite has protective ceramic-coated plates, as well as ionic technology that helps seal the hair cuticle and protect it from damage. You'll find that you need to shampoo, color, and heat-style your hair less often, causing less damage to your hair.<p><p><b>How to use</b><br>Hold Start button for 3-5 seconds to turn on. Start at a low temperature and then section off the top layer of your hair that you would like to stay smooth, and clip it off to the side. Use VOLOOM Rootie on the layers of hair underneath this top layer, gently clicking and quickly releasing 2-3 times down to eye or cheekbone level. You only need to hold the tool on your hair for a second. Once done, cover with the untreated hair. A heat-protection product before using any heated tool is recommended. Try temperatures until you find the one that leaves only a slight imprint, but not a clear pattern. If you want even less imprint from the plates, try not closing the plates completely.
