Setup

1. Unboxing: Carefully remove the Hot Tools Pro Artist Hot Air Styling Brush and all its components from the packaging.

3. Power Connection: Plug the appliance into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Preparation

1. Towel-Dry Hair: Ensure your hair is towel-dried and approximately 60-80% dry before using the styling brush. This tool is designed for styling and touch-ups, not for drying fully wet hair.
2. Apply Heat Protectant: For optimal results and to protect your hair from heat damage, apply a heat protectant spray (sold separately) evenly throughout your hair.
3. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or scrunchies. Working with smaller sections will yield better styling results and prevent tangling.

Styling Your Hair

1. Select Heat Setting: Turn on the appliance and select your desired heat/speed setting (High or Low) using the switch located on the handle. Allow a few moments for the brush to heat up.
2. Wrap Hair: Take a section of hair and gently wrap it around the brush barrel, starting from the ends and moving towards the roots. Ensure the hair is evenly distributed around the bristles.
3. Pull Through: Slowly pull the brush through the hair section, allowing the hot air to style and smooth the hair.
4. For Curls/Volume: For more defined curls or added volume, hold the brush in place for a few seconds at the roots or wrapped around the barrel, allowing the heat to set the style.
5. Release Curl: Use the curl release switch to easily unwind the hair from the barrel. This feature helps prevent hair from tangling and ensures a smooth release.
6. Repeat: Continue this process with small sections until all desired hair is styled.

Maintenance

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet and allow it to cool down completely before attempting any cleaning.
2. Remove Brush Sleeve: Unscrew the cool tip at the end of the barrel to detach the brush sleeve from the main handle.
3. Clean Bristles: Carefully remove any accumulated hair or product residue from the bristles of the detached brush sleeve. The plastic design allows for easy washing under running water.
4. Wipe Handle: Wipe the main handle of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the handle in water.
5. Reassemble: Once both parts are clean and completely dry, reattach the brush sleeve to the handle and screw the cool tip back on securely.

Troubleshooting

• Hair Tangles During Styling: Ensure hair is thoroughly detangled before use. Work with smaller, manageable sections. Always use the curl release switch to gently unwind hair from the barrel, rather than pulling directly.
• Insufficient Heat or Airflow: Check that the appliance is securely plugged into a functioning power outlet and that the desired heat setting is selected. Ensure the air intake vents at the bottom of the handle are clear of any lint or hair buildup.
• Lack of Volume or Hold: For maximum volume, lift hair at the roots while styling and hold the brush in place for a few seconds to allow the heat to set the lift before releasing. For better hold, apply a light styling product before or after styling.
• Brush Head Detaches: Ensure the cool tip is securely screwed onto the barrel, which holds the brush sleeve in place. If the cool tip is loose, the barrel may detach during use.
