How To Use
Drying Basics
Towel dry hair to remove excess water. Section hair. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, direct hot air through a section of hair. To avoid overdrying, do not concentrate heat on one section for any length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style. Direct air flow at hair not scalp.
For quick touch ups, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer. When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost com- pletely on a warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with cooler air. Use the concentrator attachment when you need drying power in a small area (such as a curl or a wave) or when you want to relax curly hair.
Body & volume – For extra volume, bend head upside down while drying. Position the air flow toward the roots for maxi- mum lift. When hair is dry, toss head back and brush hair into place.
Straightening – Work with hair in sec- tions. Using a large 2" (5 cm) round brush, hold hair taut in each section and bend ends slightly under as you dry.
Making waves – Tousled, natural look- ing waves are easily created by grasp- ing hair at the roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying,
Cool shot – (Model HD400) After styling with hot or warm air, press the Cool Shot Button. It shuts off the power to the heating element and allows cool air to be pushed through the fan.
