08 · Styling

How to straighten your hair

1

Pinch a small section of hair away from the rest

Select a small section

Separate a small wisp of hair near the roots. Smaller sections give smoother, more even results than grabbing too much at once.

2

Cordless flat iron clamping mid-glide, hair becomes straight beneath

Close and glide down

Close the plates gently with your thumb at the roots. Hold the hair and pull the iron down smoothly from root to tip in one motion.

3

Three sections progressing from done to in-progress to waiting

Repeat until complete

Release the plate at the ends. Move to the next section and repeat until all your hair is sleek and smooth.

09 · Styling

How to create romantic curls

1

Cordless flat iron clamped horizontally on a section of hair

Clamp a small section

Hold the iron horizontally and close the plates gently on a small section of hair, starting close to the roots.

2

Cordless flat iron rotated with hair wrapping around

Rotate 180° to 270°

Rotate the iron toward your face. More rotation creates tighter curls, less rotation creates looser waves.

3

Loose romantic waves on left, tighter spiral curls on right

Slide down and reveal

Slide the iron smoothly down the hair while holding the rotation. Finger curl the end to soften and shape.

Pro tip For loose waves, rotate closer to 180°. For tighter curls, rotate up to 270° and move the iron slower.

12 · Troubleshooting

Quick fixes

Device won't turn on

Battery may be flat. Charge for at least 30 minutes, then try again. Use the original USB-C cable that came with your Glyde Straite for reliable charging. Check the cable is firmly connected at both ends.

Plates don't heat up or take too long

Hold the power button for the full 3 seconds until indicators flash. Keep the plates closed while heating for faster warm up. Allow 1 to 2 minutes for lower settings and up to 5 minutes at 200°C.

Slight smoke or burnt smell on first use

This is normal. Residue from manufacturing burns off in the first few seconds and disappears quickly.

Red indicator flashing during use

Battery is low. Recharge fully before your next session for consistent heat performance.

Hair not straightening properly

Ensure hair is fully dry. Take smaller sections. Try moving up one heat setting if your hair is thick or coarse.

Battery drains quickly

Higher temperatures use more power. A full charge delivers 20 to 40 minutes depending on the heat setting used.

16 · FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I take Glyde Straite on a plane?

Yes. Glyde Straite is built in battery powered and approved for carry on luggage under most airline lithium battery guidelines. Always check your specific airline's policy before flying.

How long does one full charge last?

A full 2 hour charge gives you 20 to 40 minutes of styling. Higher temperatures use more power, so 200°C sessions will be shorter than 140°C.

Can I use it while charging?

We do not recommend it. Please fully charge first, then unplug before styling for best battery health and safety.

Does it work on curly or Afro hair?

Yes, though thicker or coarser hair types will get best results at 180°C to 200°C. Work in smaller sections and glide slowly.

Why is there a faint smell on first use?

This is normal. Small amounts of oil or residue from manufacturing burn off in the first few seconds. The smell disappears quickly.

Can I use hair products before styling?

Avoid flammable products like hairspray or mousse before using the device. A heat protectant spray designed for flat irons is fine once fully absorbed.

Is it suitable for men's hair?

Yes. The compact size works well for fringe, beard straightening, and short to medium length hair.

What USB adapter should I use?

Any standard 5V / 1A USB adapter or computer USB port works. A phone charger with USB-C output is perfect.
