Super Ionic Technology
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man-
made fibres and air pollution contribute to a build-up of static electricity
in the hair. Even brushing and towel drying the hair can increase these
levels, causing the surface of the cuticle to become rough. Consequently, hair
may have a dull appearance. High levels of static charge can also cause the
hair to become “fly-away” and difficult to style. The super ion generator
releases more negative ions than a regular ionic port which act to neutralise
the static charge, smoothing the hairs cuticle for noticeably smooth, shiny,
manageable hair.
Heat Settings
There are 2 heats plus a cool setting. Slide the ‘on/off’ switch to the first
position to select the cool setting ‘*’, the second position for the low heat
‘I’, and the third position for the high heat ‘II’.
Rotation Settings
There are two rotation speed settings. To make the brush head rotate, press
the buttons marked << and >>, this will make the brush head rotate clockwise
and anti-clockwise. When the appliance is set on the high heat setting the
brush head rotation will be faster. When the appliance is set on the low heat
setting the brush head rotation will be slower. For best results, use the
rotating brush feature to create styles with gorgeous volume and shine.
NOTE: When the appliance is used on the cool setting, the brush head will
not rotate.
Protective Cover
After every use, always ensure the protective cover is placed over the brush
head. This protects the bristles from damage. When placing the protective
cover over the brush head, ensure to line it up with the grooves around the
top of the airstyler so it slides easily into place.
NOTE: The diagram on the protective cover demonstrates the direction it
should be placed on to the brush head. If placed on incorrectly it may be
difficult to remove.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- If you have long or thick hair, you may find it quicker and easier to use a hairdryer first to rough dry your hair and remove the excess moisture. For added volume, turn your head upside down as you dry.
- Once the hair is 80% dry, you should start to create your style using the styler.
Maximum Volume and Body
-
Start by sectioning the hair.
-
To turn the appliance on, slide the ‘on/off’ switch to the correct heat setting for your hair.
-
Place the brush underneath the hair section, close to the roots and brush through the section to remove any tangles.
-
For added root lift, hold the brush in place at the root for a few seconds.
-
Move the brush through the hair, towards the ends and as you reach the end of the section, start to rotate the brush away from your head by pressing and holding the appropriate rotation button.
-
As you do this, resist the rotation of the brush by pulling the brush downwards. This will create tension through the section of hair.
IMPORTANT! It may take several attempts to perfect this technique, if the brush spins too quickly, simply release the rotation button and remove from the hair. -
For even more volume, place the brush at the end of the hair section and allow the brush to rotate along the hair section by pressing and holding the appropriate rotate button. Wind the entire section of hair around the barrel until you reach the root. Release the rotate button and then hold the brush in the hair for a few seconds.
-
Slide the switch to the cool setting ‘*’ for a further few seconds, this cools the hair to create longer lasting volume.
-
To release the section, move the switch back to setting ‘I’ or ‘II’ then press and hold the opposite rotation button to unwind the hair section.
-
Repeat as necessary.
-
After use, switch off and unplug the appliance.
-
Allow to cool before storing away.
-
Place protective shield over brush head to protect the bristles. Please see the ‘Protective Cover’ section for direction.
Helpful Hints and Tips
- To define layers and add shape to the ends of the hair, follow steps 5 – 6 and repeat through the sections.
- To get root volume and body through the top section of hair, follow steps 7 – 9 using an upward motion.
