Distribute it evenly from roots to ends, then blow dry as usual. Hair will be soft, shiny, and full of volume. ¦ For a super smooth, salon-like blow dry, finish by running a straightening iron over dried hair. ¦ For a quick touch-up between shampoos, mist hair to dampen it, then style with dryer. Basic Drying Techniques 1. Gently towel dry hair to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing hair with towel – this creates split ends and frizziness. Detangle hair with a wide-toothed comb. 2. Be sure dryer is turned off. Plug dryer into an electrical outlet. 3. Set dryer ion switch to negative (-) drying ion position. Turn the dryer on and set it to a high heat and speed. Remove some of the additional moisture form your hair by briskly blowing it all over, using your fingers to “comb” through hair. 4. When hair is almost dry, lower the heat and speed to the desired settings and begin to style. 5. Set ion switch to positive (+) styling ion position. Divide hair into manageable sections. Begin at the nape of your neck and brush hair, following the movement of the brush with the dryer. Continue working your way up to your scalp, then to the sides and the front, drying small sections at a time. 6. Once your desired style is achieved, push the Cool Shot button to set the style with a cool flow of air. Cool Shot: The Cool Shot sets the style by blowing a cool stream of air. Press and hold cool shot button to set style. Release button to return to warm air flow. For straight, smooth hair: With the dryer turned off, attach the concentrator to the end of the nozzle. Brush hair from underneath using a large, round brush or paddle brush. Pull hair down until the hair is fully extended and taut. Run the dryer slowly down the length of the hair several times until dry. Repeat with all sections of hair until it is completely dried. Lock in the style with the Cool Shot. For curly hair: Use dryer on a low heat and speed setting and move it quickly about your head. As you dry your hair, scrunch it with your favorite styling product or twirl strands of hair around your fingers to add definition. When finished drying, lock in the style with the Cool Shot.
