How to Use a Hot Tools Titanium Ti Three Barrel Waver
Waves add both definition and style to the hair, and can be worn to work, school or play. The Hot Tools Professional 3-Barrel Waver molds the hair into a wave pattern using heat. To protect the hair and keep the waves in place, there are a couple of products that should be used with the three-barrel waver. But before getting started, make sure the hair is clean and completely dry. Does this Spark an idea?

1
Plug in and turn on the Hot Tools 3 Barrel Waver. Set the temperature to the desired heat setting; medium-heat is hot enough for most hair.
-
2
Comb the hair out thoroughly. Spritz a thermal heat protectant spray on the hair to protect it from the heat and lock in the style.

3
Separate the hair into sections. Many prefer to work from the back to the front of the head. Use your fingers or a comb to create a part from ear to ear along the back of the scalp. Pin the rest of the hair up with a clip.
-
4
Re-comb the separated section of hair, and lightly spritz the section with medium-hold hair spray.
-
5
Press down on the handle of the waver to separate the barrels, and insert a 3-inch-to-4-inch-wide section of hair in between the separated barrels. Position the barrels a 1/2 inch to 1 inch from the scalp.
-
6
Close the prongs and allow the hair to remain enclosed for 10 to 15 seconds. Release the handle and allow the hair to slide out.
-
7
Move the barrels down the section of hair and repeat the process until the section is completely waved.
-
8
Separate another section of hair and repeat the process.

Tips & Warnings
Spritz medium-hold hair spray over the entire head once you are finished waving.
Comb out the waves to give them a more relaxed look.
Curl the ends of the hair with a single-barrel curling iron to give the look a little more definition.
