   » If you attach the styling nozzle and then switch on the dryer, you will see Fast, Gentle, Manual and Style modes in the mode indicator momentarily. Then, it will go to Style mode.

How to Use Curl Diffuser

A curl diffuser is helpful for drying curly hair. If you have natural curly hair or permed curls, you can use a curl diffuser to enhance your curls. There is a hole on top of the curl diffuser, which allows to detect your hair temperature when drying or styling the hair.

Note: You can change between Curl and Manual mode as desired.

1. Attach the curl diffuser ( l2 ) on the dryer and the Curl mode will activate.
2. Hold the hairdryer vertically and place the hair in a circular motion in between pins and move toward the scalp slowly.

How to Massage Your Scalp

The scalp massager attachment with the soft pins stimulates your scalp with vibration and gentle heat.

1. Attach the scalp massager attachment ( 11 ) on the dryer to activate the Scalp mode.

2. Gently place the massaging pins on your scalp for relaxation.
   Note: The massager pins should touch the scalp. Do not press them hard on your scalp since this will reduce the effectiveness of the massager.

3. Move the scalp diffuser across different parts of your scalp in circular motion to dry your hair and massaging your scalp at the same time.
   Note: Scalp mode can only be used with the scalp massager attachment. You cannot change to a different mode when this attachment is on the dryer.
