Power Connection

Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet (125 Volts). The unit is dual voltage for international use, but an adapter may be required for different plug types.

Operating Instructions

Always ensure your hair is clean and towel-dried before styling. For best results, hair should be about 80% dry when using curling attachments.

Powering On and Adjusting Settings

1. Press the power button to turn on the device.
2. Use the airflow and heat setting buttons to select your desired intensity. The device offers 3 airflow settings.
3. The digital display provides an at-a-glance reading of your selected settings.
4. Utilize the cool shot function to set your style with a burst of cool air.

Using the Attachments

The system includes several attachments for different styling needs:

• Concentrator: Use for targeted drying, especially when rough-drying roots to about 80% dry before styling with other attachments.
• 1.5-inch Bidirectional Air-Curling Barrels:
  These barrels automatically wrap hair to create soft blowout curls. Prep hair with mousse and heat protectant. Take 1-inch sections of hair and hold them near the barrel, allowing the airflow to wrap the hair. Pin curls to cool and set for longer-lasting results.

• 1.75-inch Round Brush:
  Ideal for adding root lift and volume, and for smoothing hair. Place the brush beneath each hair section and glide through, brushing up and out from the roots to create lift. Twist through the ends for soft shape and definition.

Styling Tips

• For longer-lasting curls, prep hair with mousse and heat protectant. Pin curls while they cool before finishing with hairspray.
• Section hair using the included sectioning comb and creaseless clips for easier and more precise styling.
• Always start with slightly damp hair when using the air-curling barrels for optimal results.

Maintenance

Cleaning

1. Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. The air intake has a removable filter. Regularly clean the filter to prevent hair and dust buildup, which can affect performance.
3. Wipe the main unit and attachments with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.
4. Remove any hair buildup from the brushes and barrels using a comb or brush cleaner.

Storage

Store the styling system and its attachments in the provided soft storage case when not in use. This protects the components and keeps them organized, especially for travel.

Troubleshooting

• Device not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Check for any tripped circuit breakers.
• Attachments not staying on: Ensure the attachment is properly aligned and pushed firmly until it clicks into place. The release button should not be pressed during attachment.
• Reduced airflow or heating: Check the air intake filter for blockages and clean if necessary. Ensure the air vents are clear of debris.
• Hair frizzes after styling: Ensure hair is adequately prepped with heat protectant. Adjust heat and airflow settings to suit your hair type. Nano Titanium technology is designed to reduce frizz, but excessive heat or improper technique can still cause it.
• Curls not holding: Ensure hair is not too wet when curling. Use styling products like mousse for hold. Pin curls to cool completely before releasing.
