How to use

• Remember, a good haircut is the basis for a good hairstyle.
• The Profile Volume is most effective when the hair is slightly damp. After washing, dry your hair in the normal way until it is damp. Then begin using your styler. When the hair is dry, slightly dampen it with water.
  Before styling, brush or comb your hair to ensure that it is untangled.
• Prevent the hair from becoming too dry. Overdrying may result in frizzy hair ends which are hard to style.
• The results you can obtain with the Profile Volume depend upon various factors, for example the thickness, length and structure of your hair. Experimenting with the attachments will allow you to discover the styling possibilities for your particular hair type and will help you determine how to achieve the best results.
• You can remove the attachment from the hair as soon as the hair feels dry. The time needed to dry the hair depends on the thickness of the hair and the amount of hair being styled.
• Use position | (maximum position) when you start styling. When the hair gets dryer, you can switch back to position |.
  Always switch the appliance off before removing and/or affixing the attachments.

Attachments

Large vent brush and retractable bristle brush

Making curls in short to medium hair

• Divide the hair into tresses (fig. 4), using a comb. Do not take too much hair in one tress.
• Switch on the appliance. Wind the hair around the brush in the desired direction (fig. 5). When using the large vent brush, make sure it does not get tangled in the hair. Therefore, do not rotate it in the hair more than 1,5 turn.

Ensure that the hair is wound up so that it is at right angles to the scalp (fig. 6). This will give your hair optimum lift and volume.

As soon as the hair is warm to the touch, remove the brush from the hair.

Making waves in long hair

• Switch on the appliance. Take the ends of the hair (fig. 7) and wind them around the brush in the desired direction (fig. 8). The resulting shape of the wave depends on the thickness of the lock and the brush used: the retractable bristle brush makes tighter curls (fig. 10) and the large vent brush makes looser and bigger waves (fig. 9).
• As soon as the hair is warm to the touch, switch off the appliance and carefully remove the hot air brush from the hair.
• Leave the curls or waves to cool down, before finishing by combing, brushing or fingercombing the hair into its final style.

To remove the brush from the hair

Large Vent Brush

• Carefully rotate the styler in the opposite direction, just far enough to release the hair without spoiling the curl. Be careful not to pick up underlying hairs because this could cause the brush to get stuck in hair.

- Retractable Bristle Brush

• It is not necessary to rotate the brush in the opposite direction. Simply push and turn the bristle retraction knob in the direction of the arrows (fig. 11) and the bristles will retract.
• Slide the metal bar sideways out of the curl. This will prevent the curl from getting spoilt or tangled and makes it last longer.

Volumizer Brush

The Volumizer brush is suitable for straight and wavy hair of any length. Its special design with centered 'Volume knobs' ensures that the warm air is directed at the scalp and gives maximum volume near the roots. As a result, the hair is dried

in a way that ensures optimum volume and "body". The hair can also be styled. For example, you can curl the hair ends outwards or inwards. This attachment can also be used to make large curls and waves.

Volume

• Insert the Volumizer brush into the hair. Brush against the direction of the hair growth, touching the scalp with the 'Volume knobs'. Then rotate the attachment away from the head (fig. 12). The hair will be lifted and fall lightly back onto the head. In this manner you add maximum volume to the hair.
• If the hair is still damp you can hold the Volumizer Brush still for a moment, before you rotate it away from the head to remove it.

Short hair

• Insert the Volumizer Brush into the hair placing the pins of the brush against the scalp.
• Move the Volumizer Brush upwards along the scalp for some 2-3 cm (fig. 13).
• Rotate the attachment away from the head to remove it (fig. 14). This will give your hair volume and "body".

(Semi)long hair

• Take a lock of hair. Place the 'Volume Knobs' of the brush against the scalp. Move the Volumizer Brush against the direction of the hair growth, touching the scalp with the brush (fig. 15).
• Rotate the attachment away from the head to remove it (fig. 16). This will give your hair volume and body (fig. 17).
• You can also add volume to long hair by holding you head down and brushing the hair with the Volume Styler in this position.

Cleaning

The brushes can be cleaned with a small brush or a dry cloth.

Storage

The appliance can be hung from the hanging loop (fig. 18).
