SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well-maintained. Always treat hair right with superior-quality shampoos, conditioners, and finishing products.
DRYING BASICS
- 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 the dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through the hair. Direct airflow at hair, not scalp. Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy flyaways, and contribute to your hair’s shine.
- Keep the dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
- To avoid over-drying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for any length of time. Keep the dryer moving as you style.
- For quick touch-ups between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
- When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on a warmer temperature setting with the snap-on diffuser attachment, then finish styling with a cool shot feature to close the hair shaft and lock in style.
- Use a snap-on/snap-off concentrator for more direct airflow and pinpoint styling.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn the head upside down while drying. Position the
airflow toward the roots for maximum lift. When the hair is dry, toss the head
back and brush the hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a super straight look. Use a large
round brush (approximately 2″ in diameter), to smooth out as you dry.
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.
GET TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
*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 falls 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 wait…install one now!
- 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, 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 dry 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 it to rupture and short.
- Inspect the cord frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if the damage is visible or the 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 wrap the line cord around the dryer. Allow the cord to hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry into the dryer.
