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.
