For hair health and ease, you may want to start by applying a heat protectant spray to your completely dry hair and clipping into sections. After you complete your hair profile on the smart-touch interface and find your perfect heat setting, simply pass the Lucea ID from root to tip with slight tension to deliver more sleek results. Once all sections are complete, finish the style off with a few spritzes of your favorite hairspray for maximum lasting power.

If you prefer a wavier look, follow the same steps above, but instead of passing the Lucea ID straight down the shaft, rock it back and forth as you move from root to tip. For more volume at the root, you can back comb slightly and add a spritz of strong hold hairspray and comb through, then rock the blade of the iron underneath, overdirecting the hair at the root for more lift and shape.

If it’s bouncy curls you’re after, prep your hair the same ways you did for the previously mentioned styles. Then, spiral each section of hair around the iron as you move down the shaft, quickly clamping and releasing on your way towards the tip. Wrap the hair the same way (whether away from or towards your face, depending on your preference) for more uniform results, or mix it up for a more natural looking curl pattern.

To make your day-after hair look more polished, add a spritz of dry shampoo at the roots to absorb excess oil and add some volume, then brush through. Set the iron to Refresh Mode, which offers minimal heat while smoothing the hair, then glide down the hair shaft and lightly twirl the section around your finger (away from the face) while still warm. This will give you shiny, perfectly undone locks with a little bend.
