Drying Nozzle (Concentrator)

Round Brush Attachment
Ideal for adding volume and shaping your hair. Work with small sections of hair, placing the brush underneath and rolling it outwards or inwards as you dry. The brush design helps to lift hair from the roots for added body.

Flat Brush Attachment
Designed for detangling and achieving a smooth, straight finish. Use on damp hair for best results. Brush through sections of hair from root to tip, applying gentle tension. This attachment helps to smooth hair with less heat compared to traditional flat irons.
