 How to Use It

Here’s a recommended workflow:

1. Prep your hair

   • Towel dry until hair is damp but not dripping.

   • Optionally apply a heat protectant or serum to fine or damaged hair.

   • Detangle hair gently with a wide-tooth comb.

2. Choose your setting

   • For thick or long hair: use a higher heat + speed to remove moisture quickly.

   • For fine hair or minimal damage: use a lower heat + speed.

   • Use the cool-air setting at the end to set your style and add shine.

3. Dry & style

   • Fit the styling nozzle if doing detailed styling (straightening, smoothing, volume).

   • Hold the dryer ~10-15 cm from the hair and keep it moving—don’t hold in one spot too long.

   • Direct airflow down the hair shaft from roots to ends to help smooth the cuticle and enhance shine.

   • If using ThermoProtect attachment, it will moderate airflow temperature.

4. Finish up

   • Switch to cool-shot for a minute or so to finish and set the style.

   • Turn off the dryer, unplug and let it cool.

5. After-use & care

   • Clean the air intake filter periodically (built-up lint/hair reduces airflow and may overheat the unit).

   • Store in a dry place. Keep the cord loosely wrapped; don’t kink it.

   • If foldable, fold the handle carefully for space savings.
