SUPER STYLING GUIDE

Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained. And always treat hair right with superior quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing products.
DRYING BASICS

1. Shampoo and condition hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry hair to remove excess moisture. Using the dryer along with your styling brush, start at a lower setting and direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct airflow at hair, not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaway and contribute to your hair’s shine.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid overtrying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for an extended length of time. Keep dryer moving as you style.
4. For quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting, then finish styling with cool shot feature to close hair shaft and lock in style.

BODY & VOLUME To create extra volume, turn head upside down while drying. Position the airflow toward the roots for maximum lift. When hair is dry, toss head back and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING Work with hair in sections when creating a super-straight look. Use the thermal pik attachment to detangle. For pinpoint styling, use the thermal-tipped concentrator with superior heat transfer for smooth, sleek styles.
MAKING WAVES Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the roots and scrunching between fingertips while drying. For curlier, wavier hair use the diffuser attachment.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER

The Conair 1875 Watt Performa Series Ionic Ceramic Dryer is very effective, even at lower temperatures, and helps create healthier-looking, shinier, more manageable hair with maximum styling control.
CERAMIC TECHNOLOGY provides full-spectrum infrared heat that works on hair molecules to dry them inside and out. This fast and easy dry-ing process minimizes heat damage and makes hair less frizzy and more manageable.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud of negative ions that can:

• help reduce frizz by up to 75%*
• neutralize the generally positive charge on flyaway, frizzy hair
• eliminate static electricity
• contribute to shine

*When compared to hair dryers with natural ion generation.

*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 GFCis in the 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 fails into 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 circumstances. A GFCI offers you far greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life! Compared to that, the price Is small! Don’t Walt install one now!
“A GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately to a small electric current leak by stopping the electricity flow.

USER MAINTENANCE

Your dryer is virtually maintenance free. No lubrication is needed. For proper operating performance, the dryer must be kept clean. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord, allow to cool and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface of the dryer should be wiped clean with a cloth only.
Blocked or clogged air intake vents will cause the dryer to overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic safety device will shut the dryer or the heat off to prevent damage or personal injury. If the unit or the heat cycles off, unplug the cord and allow the dryer to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before restarting. Make sure the air vents are clean.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled, twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord tightly around the dryer. Damage will occur at the high flex point of entry into the dryer, causing the cord to rupture and short circuit. Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if damage is visible or unit stops or operates intermittently. if the cord or dryer is damaged or does not operate properly, return it for repair to an authorized Conair service representative only. No repairs should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE – Important
When not in use, your dryer should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children. Do not twist the line cord or wrap it around the dryer. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the dryer.
