	Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.
2.	Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer
	into an electrical outlet.
3.	Turn the dryer on and set it to a high
	heat and speed. Remove some of the
	additional moisture from your hair by
	briskly blow drying it all over, using your
	fingers to "comb" through hair.
4.	When hair is almost dry, lower the heat
	and speed to the desired settings and
	begin to style.
5.	Divide hair into manageable sections.
	Begin at the nape of your neck and
	brush hair, following the movement of

from your head to avoid burning scalp or

damaging hair.

hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and

create a silky, shiny style.

shine, spritz damp hair with a heat

Storage

When not in use, unplug the unit. Allow it

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 under- neath using a large, round brush or paddle brush.

protection spray before blow drying.

■ To create a style with lots of body, apply

volumizing mousse to towel-dried hair.

Distribute it evenly from roots to ends,

then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft,

shiny, and full of volume.

■ For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry,

finish by running a straightening iron

over dried hair.

■ For a quick touch-up between sham-

poos, mist hair to dampen it, then style

with dryer.
