Operating Instructions

Preparation:

• Ensure hair is clean and towel-dried to remove excess water.
• For best results, apply a heat protectant or styling product suitable for your hair type.

Blow-Drying Technique:

1. Section Hair: Use the retractable sectioning pick located at the end of the brush handle to divide your hair into manageable sections.
2. Start at the Roots: Place the brush at the roots of a section of hair. Direct the airflow from your hair dryer onto the hair section, following the brush.
3. Smooth and Roll: Slowly pull the brush through the hair section, rotating it as you go to create tension and shape. Keep the hair dryer nozzle pointed downwards to smooth the cuticle and enhance shine.
4. Create Volume: For added volume, lift sections of hair at the roots with the brush and direct heat underneath. Hold for a few seconds to set.
5. Curl/Wave Creation: To create curls or waves, wrap a section of hair around the brush barrel. Apply heat, then allow the hair to cool slightly on the brush before gently unwinding.
6. Repeat: Continue with each section until your hair is completely dry and styled as desired.

This brush is suitable for use on both wet and dry hair, in conjunction with a hair dryer.

Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Remove loose hair from the bristles after each use to prevent buildup and maintain brush performance.
• Deep Cleaning: Periodically wash the brush with mild soap and lukewarm water. Gently scrub the bristles and barrel. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before next use.
• Storage: Store the brush in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prolong its lifespan.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners on the brush, as this may damage the ceramic coating or bristles.

Troubleshooting

• Hair Tangling: Ensure hair is thoroughly detangled before using the round brush. Work with smaller sections of hair to prevent tangling. If hair gets caught, gently unwind it from the brush rather than pulling.
• Lack of Volume/Shine: Confirm hair is not overly wet; it should be towel-dried. Ensure the hair dryer is set to an appropriate heat and speed. For volume, lift hair at the roots and direct heat. For shine, direct airflow down the hair shaft.
• Frizziness: The ion-charged bristles are designed to reduce frizz. Ensure you are using the brush with a hair dryer, directing the airflow downwards to smooth the hair cuticle. Consider using an anti-frizz serum before blow-drying.
• Bristle Damage: Avoid excessive heat directly on the bristles for prolonged periods. Clean the brush regularly to prevent hair and product buildup that can stress bristles.
