Avoid rubbing hair with towel ­ this creates split ends and frizziness. Remove some of the additional moisture from your hair by briskly blow drying it all over, using your fingers to "comb" through hair. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat and speed to the desired settings and begin to style. Begin at the nape of your neck and brush hair, following the movement of the brush with the dryer. Continue working your way up to your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections at a time. Once your desired style is achieved, push the Cool Shot button to set the style with a cool flow of air. For straight, smooth hair: With the dryer turned off, attach the concentrator to the end of the nozzle. Turn the driver on and brush hair from underneath using a large, round brush or paddle brush. Run the dryer slowly down the length of the hair several times until dry. For curly hair: Use dryer on a low heat and speed setting and move it quickly about your head. As you dry your hair, scrunch it with your favorite styling product or twirl strands of hair around your fingers to add definition. When finished drying, lock in the style with the Cool Shot. Cleaning and Maintenance Maintenance Instructions The dryer needs minimum maintenance to ensure the best performance and long life. See "Cleaning Instructions. " No other maintenance or lubrication is required. Do not wrap cord around dryer. Cleaning Instructions The air filter should be cleaned regularly, since a dirty or clogged filter will impair the efficiency of the dryer. Use a soft bristle brush to gently remove any particles that are lodged in filter. If the unit is dirty, wipe it with a dampcloth.

Always keep the dryer pointed down the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and create a silky, shiny style. [. . . ] The LOW setting on 250 volts will provide full heat and airflow to dry your hair.
