The DryWave Nebúla offers various settings to customize your drying experience for optimal curl definition and care.

1. Power On/Off: Press the power button (O) located at the bottom of the handle to turn the appliance on or off.

4. Activate Plasma Function: Press the Plasma Function button (~) to activate the anti-frizz technology. This helps eliminate static electricity, leaving curls shiny and disciplined.
