Operating the Hair Dryer
Follow these steps for effective and safe hair drying:
- Power On: Press the power button to turn on the hair dryer.
- Adjust Settings: Use the temperature and speed control buttons to select your desired heat and airflow settings. The hair dryer offers multiple settings for different hair types and styling needs.
- Using the Concentrator Nozzle: For precise drying and styling, attach the concentrator nozzle. Direct the airflow to specific sections of your hair.
- Using the NutriEssence Head: Attach the NutriEssence head to distribute the nourishing serum while drying. The hard bristles help to detangle and spread the serum evenly. The heat from the dryer activates the serum for optimal results.

Care and Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your hair dryer.
- Cleaning the Air Inlet Filter: Regularly check and clean the air inlet filter at the back of the hair dryer to prevent dust and hair buildup, which can affect performance. Gently remove any debris using a soft brush or cloth.
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the hair dryer with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Replacing the Serum Ring: When the serum in the NutriEssence head is depleted, replace the serum ring with the provided spare. Follow the instructions for attaching the NutriEssence head.
- Storage: Store the hair dryer in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not wrap the power cord tightly around the appliance, as this can damage the cord.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your hair dryer, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Hair dryer does not turn on. | No power supply; power cord damaged. | Check if the plug is securely inserted into the outlet. Test the outlet with another device. Inspect the power cord for damage. If damaged, do not use and contact customer support. |
| Weak airflow or overheating. | Air inlet filter is blocked; air outlet is obstructed. | Clean the air inlet filter. Ensure the air outlet is not blocked by hair or other objects. Allow the device to cool down if it has overheated. |
| Hair is still frizzy after drying. | Ionic function not effective; improper drying technique. | Ensure the ionic function is active (it usually is by default). Try using the NutriEssence head for added conditioning. Dry hair in sections, directing airflow downwards. |
| NutriEssence head not dispensing serum. | Serum ring is empty or incorrectly inserted. | Check if the serum ring needs replacement. Ensure it is correctly seated in the NutriEssence head. |
