4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective and safe use of your CHI Volumizer 4-in-1 Blowout Brush:
- Preparation: Ensure your hair is towel-dried and detangled. For best results and heat protection, apply a heat protectant spray.
- Attach Styling Head: Select the desired styling attachment and securely attach it to the main body of the brush (refer to Section 3).
- Power On and Settings: Plug the device into a standard electrical outlet. Rotate the control dial at the base of the handle to select your desired heat and speed setting (OFF, LOW, COOL, HIGH).
- Styling: Divide your hair into manageable sections. Place the brush near the roots and glide it down towards the ends. Maintain a safe distance from the scalp to avoid heat damage.
- Setting the Style: For best results, use the COOL shot setting to set your style after heating and drying each section.
- After Use: Once styling is complete, turn the device OFF and unplug it from the outlet. Allow the device to cool down completely before storing or cleaning.
Using the Attachments:
- Oval Brush: Ideal for creating voluminous styles and smooth blowouts. Use by lifting hair at the roots and rolling towards the ends.
- Paddle Brush: Designed for achieving a smooth, straight look. Brush through sections of hair from root to tip.
- Nozzle Concentrator: Provides direct airflow for precise drying and styling. Use with a round brush (not included) for focused styling or to quickly dry specific sections.
- Compact Diffuser: Excellent for enhancing natural curls and waves, or for adding root volume. Gently cup sections of hair in the diffuser and lift towards the scalp.
