Styling Your Hair:

1. Select the appropriate brush head (1¼-inch for straighter styles/soft curls, 1½-inch for volume/waves).
2. Turn the appliance ON to your desired heat setting (LOW or HIGH).
3. Section your hair into manageable parts.
4. Place the brush under a section of hair near the roots and glide it down towards the ends, rotating slightly to create tension.
5. For volume, lift hair at the roots while drying. For curls or waves, wrap sections of hair around the brush and hold for a few seconds before releasing.
6. Repeat until all sections are dry and styled as desired.
7. After use, turn the appliance OFF and unplug it. Allow it to cool completely before storing.

5. Maintenance

Cleaning Your Hot Air Brush:

1. Always ensure the appliance is unplugged and completely cool before cleaning.
2. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the handle and brush heads. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
3. Regularly remove any accumulated hair from the bristles of the brush heads to maintain optimal performance. A fine-tooth comb or a small brush can assist with this.
4. Ensure all parts are thoroughly dry before storing or next use.

Storage:

Store the appliance in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children. Do not wrap the power cord around the appliance, as this can cause damage to the cord.

6. Troubleshooting

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the ON/OFF switch position.
• Insufficient heat or airflow: Verify the heat setting is appropriate for your hair type. Ensure the air vents are not blocked by dust or hair. Clean the vents if necessary.
• Brush head detaches during use: Ensure the brush head is securely locked into place by rotating the black ring to the 'LOCK' position after attachment.
• Hair tangling: Ensure hair is detangled before use. Work with smaller sections of hair.
