Operating Instructions
- Prepare Hair: For best results, towel-dry hair to remove excess water. For optimal protection and styling, apply a heat protectant spray evenly through damp hair.
- Select Setting: Turn the rotary switch on the handle to select your desired heat and speed setting:
- COOL: For setting styles.
- LOW: For fine or delicate hair.
- HIGH: For thick or coarse hair.
- Section Hair: Divide hair into manageable sections using clips.
- Styling: Place the paddle brush close to the roots and brush down slowly towards the ends. The combination of airflow and bristles will dry and smooth your hair simultaneously. Repeat until the section is dry and smooth.

- Second-Day Refresh: The Activated Charcoal infused bristles are suitable for refreshing hair on non-wash days.
- Power Off: Once styling is complete, turn the rotary switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the appliance from the outlet.
