Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for optimal drying and styling results:

  1. Prepare Hair: For best results, towel-dry your hair to remove excess moisture before blow-drying.
  2. Apply Product (Optional): If desired, apply a heat protectant or styling product to your hair.
  3. Select Settings:
    • Choose your desired heat setting (High, Medium, Low) using the HEAT switch.
    • Select your preferred speed setting (High, Medium, Low) using the SPEED switch.
    • Adjust the Ion Select dial to control volume and shine as needed.
  4. Begin Drying: Turn on the dryer. For general drying, move the dryer continuously over your hair, keeping it a few inches away from your scalp.
  5. Use Concentrator: For precise styling, attach the concentrator. Direct the powerful airflow to specific sections of hair while brushing.
  6. Use Diffuser: To enhance natural curls or waves and add volume, attach the diffuser. Gently cup sections of hair with the diffuser and lift towards the scalp.
  7. Set Style with Cold Shot: Once your hair is almost dry or styled, press and hold the Cold Shot button to deliver a burst of cool air. This helps to lock in your style and add shine.
