INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE PROTECTING THE BRUSHES: The softness of the bristles has been especially selected for optimum effect while respecting the condition of your hair. - To keep the brushes effective, always return them to their protectors (I) after use. - Opening / closing the protectors - 1: moderate temperature and blowing speed - 2: high temperature and blowing speed - *: cold air - 0: appliance switched off REMINDER: The brush accessory (G/H) is very hot when in use. Be careful when removing it. Removing the brush: - Remove the brush from its recess. Fitting: - Remove the protective cover - Push on the brush until you hear a click. DIRECTION OF ROTATION (C): This function enables you to automatically wind the sec- tion of hair around the brush to blow dry your hair effortle- ssly. - To start rotation, press the selector switch (C) in the desired direction of rotation (right or left). - Keep pressing the switch while blow drying. - To stop rotation, release the switch. SPEED OF ROTATION (D) - To increase the speed, push the button (D) upwards. - To reduce the speed, push the button (D) downwards. This is the basic technique of blow drying. DRYING AND STYLING IN ONE GO! - After washing your hair, dry it well in a towel and carefully untangle it. Do not use your brush on tangled or backcombed hair or on hair extensions. HOW TO USE YOUR BRUSH? : CLIC! FITTING THE BRUSHES AND REMOVING THEM FROM THE APPLIANCE (J) : AIR TEMPERATURE / SPEED (B):

CF9250_1800123013_A5 18/05/11 11:02 Page9- You can pre-dry your hair with the drying function (B) (without the brush) while still kee- ping your hair damp. - Divide your hair into individual sections a few centimetres wide (see booklet "professional tips") and work on one section at a time. You can use clips to hold up the other sections of hair. - Fit the brush (large or small diameter, depending on the length of your hair and the desired effect) to the body of the appliance, pushing it until it clicks home. - Choose the speed of rotation (D). Bring the brush against the section of hair: the section will automatically wind itself around the brush in a smooth, continuous move- ment.

NOTE! Always unplung the appliance before cleaning. Cleaning the appliance and brushes: - your appliance requires very little care, it can be cleaned with a dry or slightly damp cloth, - never use alcohol to clean your appliance, - never immerse the appliance or brushes in water, - take care to dry the parts that you have just cleaned, - from time to time carefully remove any hair left in the brushes.

1. Did you untangle your hair properly?

2. Did you separate the sections well before working on them?

3. You can stop the brush rotation at any time by releasing the control button (C), or by reversing

the direction of rotation. The brush can then be released from the body of the appliance to free the hair.

• "The brush is not rotating fast enough!". Try adjusting the speed control "D".

• "The brush stopped rotating".

1. Remember that your hair must be pre-dried and untangled.

2. Is the section too thick? Work on a smaller section.

• "My appliance has stopped working". The thermal safety device has tripped.

1. Unplug the appliance.

2. Leave it to cool for about 30 minutes before using it again.

3. If the problem persists, contact the after-sales service.

• "The bristles of the brush are lying flat". It is important to put the brushes away in the protectors supplied for this after every use. - If the bristles were flattened before use, they will straighten naturally during blow drying thanks to the combination of automatic rotation and hot air. i Your appliance contains valuable materials which can be recovered or recycled. ‹ Leave it at a local civic waste collection point.

CF9250_1800123013_A5 18/05/11 11:03 Page57BLOW DRYING Smooth and controlled Drying and styling in a single step! This is the basic technique for blow drying long or medium-length hair with the BRUSH ACTIV’. After washing your hair, dry it well in a towel and carefully untangle it. You can also pre-dry your hair with the Brush Activ’ drying function while still keeping your hair damp. Separate your hair into sections, using clips: The secret lies in the fineness of the separated sections, handled one by one! We suggest using the large-diameter brush for general styling and the small-diameter brush for putting the finishing touches (more marked rounding inwards or outwards).

1. Start at the nape of the neck,

2. then the back of the head,

4. finish with the sections on the top.

From root to tip! It is essential to dry the roots properly before the tips: place the brush against the roots of your hair, under the section to be blow dried, without starting the rotation and only on the drying setting (position 1) and then start the automatic rotation of the brush while working slowly down towards the tips until the section is comple- tely dry. Remember that badly dried hair is badly smoothed hair!

CF9250_1800123013_A5 18/05/11 11:03 Page58BLOW DRYING Layered and tapered This blow drying technique suits hair of all lengths. After washing your hair, dry it well in a towel and carefully untangle it. Pre-dry your hair using the drying function of the Brush Activ’ with your head tipped forwards to give body at the roots. The tips must remain damp. You can use a mousse or wax to enhance the appearance of your hair. Separate the hair vertically in two parts from the top of your head down to the nape. Start blow drying, placing the appliance under the section in a root -> tip movement. Repeat the operation until both sides of the nape are perfectly dry. Continue with the sections at the side of the face and finish at the top of the head. To obtain perfect layering, place the brush under or on the section in the direction of the layering and pull the section towards the opposite cheek, keeping the head slightly tilted. Working the tips: To keep the tips tapered, do not pull on the section when the brush reaches the tip; remove the brush gently so as not to spoil the effect. Allow the hair to cool before finishing. For a more marked effect towards the tips, the small-diameter brush is ideal! Tips turned under: Place the brush (small or large diameter) under the tip of the section. Start the rotation to roll the hair under. Tips turned outwards: Place the brush (small or large diameter) on the tip of the section. Start the rotation to roll the hair outwards. For a more marked effect towards the tips, the small-diameter brush is ideal! You can give this movement to all your hair or to just a few sections.

CF9250_1800123013_A5 18/05/11 11:03 Page59THE FINISHING TOUCHES Fringes For a short, straight fringe, we suggest using the small-diameter brush, which will give more movement. For straight fringes, you will need to give more volume at the root to give the best profile. For a longer fringe, on the other hand, the large-diameter brush will give a smoother effect. On a damp, pre-dried fringe, place the brush under fringe, from the roots, and keep the automatic rota- tion on to roll the section to the inside until completely dry. VOLUME at the roots Once the hair is blow dried, place the brush at the root again, under the section (preferably the large-diameter brush), without using the automatic rotation. Setting: drying only. Start smoothing the section against the lie of the hair for about 3 cm from the roots and then allow the appliance to slide slowly to the tip of the section without stretching it. Then bring the section back to the correct side. Replacer ensuite la mèche du bon côté. To give more volume to all of your hair, it is important to use this tip on each section of hair. BLOW DRYING Curled and light This technique is essentially for use on short and medium-length hair, soft or wavy. Curls and waves are made by rolling fine sections of hair around the small-diameter brush: the finer the section, the tighter the curl. Always start at the nape of the neck, working progressively upwards, and finish with the sections at the top of the head. Place the brush alternately under the section (to dry the roots) and then over the section (for the wave) in a relatively slow rotating movement, which will give more volume and an effect of lightness. The rolled sections must cool without being touched. Once all the hair is dry, arrange the curls and waves using your fingertips. Avoid using a comb or brush, which would spoil the effect.
