Hair Care Tips

■Keep the dryer about 8 inches away from your head to avoid burning scalp or damaging hair.

■Always keep the dryer pointed down the hair shaft to smooth the cuticle and create a silky, shiny style.

■To help prevent heat damage and add shine, spritz damp hair with a heat 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.

can save a life!

If you must use your hair dryer in the bathroom, install a GFCI* now!

Your local electrician can help you decide which type is best for you–a portable unit that plugs into the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed by your electrician. The National Electrical Code now requires GFCI’s in bathrooms, garages, and outdoor outlets of all new homes.

Why do you need a GFCI?

Electricity and water don’t mix. If your hair dryer falls in water while it’s plugged in, the electric shock can kill you… even if the switch is “off.” A regular fuse or circuit breaker won’t protect you under these circum- stances. A GFCI offers you greater protection.

A GFCI can save your life!

Compared to that, the price is small!

Don’t wait… install one now!

*GFCI is a sensitive device which reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.
