■Keep the dryer about 8 inches away
from your head to avoid burning your

How to UseBasic Drying Techniques
1.Gently towel dry hair to remove excess
water.Avoid rubbing hair with towel –
this creates split ends and frizziness.
Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb.
2.Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer
into an electrical outlet.
3.Set the ion switch to the on position.
Turn the dryer on and set it to a high
heat and speed.Remove some of the
additional moisture from your hair by
briskly blowing 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.Set ion switch to off position. Divide hair
into manageable sections.Begin at the
nape of your neck and brush hair,follow-
ing 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.
6.Once your desired style is achieved, push
the Cool Shot button to set the style with
a cool flow of air.

The Cool Shot sets the style by blowing a
cool stream of air.Press and hold cool shot
button to set style.Release button to return
to warm air flow.
For straight,smooth hair:
With the dryer turned off,attach the
concentrator to the end of the nozzle.Brush
hair from underneath using a large,round
brush or paddle brush.Pull hair down until
the hair is fully extended and taut.Run the
dryer slowly down the length of the hair
several times until dry.Repeat
with all sec-
tions of hair until it is completely dried.Lock
in the style with Cool Shot.
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.
