5. Place the brush close to the roots and glide it down towards the ends. For added volume, hold the brush at the roots for a few seconds.
6. To curl ends, rotate the brush inward or outward as you reach the hair tips.
7. Repeat for all sections until hair is dry and styled as desired.
8. After use, turn the appliance to 'OFF' and unplug it from the power outlet.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly remove any hair tangled in the bristles. Use a fine-tooth comb or your fingers to gently pull out accumulated hair. Wipe the surface of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Allow the appliance to cool completely before storing. Store in a dry, safe place, away from children. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance, as this can damage the cord.

7. Troubleshooting

• Appliance does not turn on: Check if the ALCI safety plug is properly reset. Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Verify the heat setting is not on 'OFF'.
• Insufficient airflow or heat: Clean any hair or debris from the bristles and air vents. Ensure the air intake is not blocked.
• Hair tangles in brush: Ensure hair is thoroughly detangled before use. Work with smaller sections of hair. Do not wrap hair multiple times around the brush.
• Excessive heat: Use a lower heat setting. Ensure the appliance is not held in one spot for too long.
