The Panasonic EH-HV52 is a multi-styling hair straightener designed for household use, offering versatile styling options including straightening, curling, and adding volume.
Function Description:
The device primarily functions as a hair straightener, utilizing heated iron plates to achieve various hairstyles. It comes with several attachments to enhance its multi-styling capabilities:
- Straightener: Used without an attachment for basic straightening, or with the dedicated straightener attachment for more thorough straightening, especially towards the ends of the hair.
- Curling Attachments (Medium Curl, Large Curl, Extra Large Curl): These attachments allow users to create different types of curls, both inward and outward, by clamping hair and rotating the main body.
- Volumizer: This attachment is designed to add volume to the hair by clamping hair at the roots and rotating the main body upwards.
The straightener features a power switch for turning the device on and off, and temperature level adjustment switches (+ and -) to select the desired heat setting. An illumination lamp indicates when the device is on, and an LED temperature level display shows the selected temperature. The iron plate on the grip side moves slightly when pressed, which aids in clamping hair effectively.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Model No.: EH-HV52
- Power Source:
- 100 - 130 V~, 50 - 60 Hz
- 220 - 240 V~, 50 - 60 Hz
- Power Consumption: 45 W
- Iron Temperature: Approximately 140 °C to 230 °C
- Temperature Levels: The device offers multiple temperature settings, typically ranging from 140 °C to 230 °C, indicated by LED lights (e.g., 140, 160, 180, 200, 230).
Usage Features:
- Temperature Setting: Users can select a temperature level using the adjustment switches. It is recommended to start with 140 °C for first-time use. The device reaches operating temperature (approx. 100 °C) in about 15 seconds, though this can vary with the environment.
- Automatic Temperature Lock: To prevent accidental temperature changes, the adjustment switches automatically lock if not pressed for 5 seconds. The selected LED temperature level display blinks 3 times per second when locked. To unlock, the “-” switch must be pressed twice.
- Hair Preparation: Before styling, hair should be brushed to ensure it lies in the same direction. For easier styling, especially with thick hair, it's recommended to bundle and pin hair into sections. Hair should be clean, dry, and tangle-free.
- Straightening Technique:
- Hold a bundle of hair approximately 5 cm wide.
- Clamp the hair with the press plate facing inwards, ensuring the bundle is in the center of the iron plate.
- Move the straightener slowly and continuously down towards the hair ends.
- For curly hair, use both hands and hold the press plate tips. Avoid excessive force to prevent strain on hair ends.
- Curling Technique:
- Select and attach the desired curling attachment.
- Hold a bundle of hair approximately 3 cm wide.
- For inward curls, clamp hair with the attachment facing inwards and rotate the main body towards the face by slightly more than a half-rotation (180°).
- For outward curls, clamp hair with the attachment facing outwards and rotate the main body outwards by slightly more than a half-rotation (180°).
- While maintaining the half-rotated position, slide the straightener straight down towards the hair ends.
- Recommended speeds for curling vary based on hair length and temperature (e.g., 2-3 seconds for medium hair at 230 °C, 5-6 seconds for long hair at 230 °C).
- For more defined curls, a full 360° rotation can be performed.
- Do not detangle curls until they cool down.
- Adding Volume Technique:
- Attach the volumizer.
- Clamp a bundle of hair (approx. 2 cm thickness x 5 cm width) in the area where volume is desired.
- Pull the bundle perpendicular to the scalp, ensuring hair is properly arranged.
- Clamp the hair at the roots.
- While rotating the main body, move it towards the top of the head approximately 10 cm and release. Do not move the straightener to the hair ends.
- Safety Features:
- Automatic shut-off after 60 minutes of inactivity.
- Warnings against using the straightener immediately after applying home straight perm liquid (wait 3-4 days) or temporary hair dye (wash out and dry hair first).
- Caution against using temperatures above 200 °C for prolonged periods to prevent hair damage.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: After use and once the straightener has cooled down and the plug is removed, clean the device and attachments. If dirty with styling products, soak a rag in soapy water, wring it out, and wipe the unit clean.
- Prohibited Cleaning Agents: Do not use alcohol, polish remover, or detergents (liquid hand soap, etc.), as these can cause cracks or discoloration on the straightener's surface.
- Storage: Avoid leaving hair care products or cosmetics adhered to the device, as this can lead to malfunction, cracks, or discoloration due to plastic deterioration.
- Cord Care: Do not wrap the cord around the main body when storing, as this can cause the internal wire to break, leading to electric shock, burns, or fire. Store the cord in an untwisted state.
The Panasonic EH-HV52 is designed for household use only and emphasizes safety precautions throughout its operation and maintenance to ensure user well-being and product longevity.
