Preparing for use

Hair

Do not use the appliance on wet hair, dry your hair with a towel first. The Airstylist is most effective on towel-dry hair.

1 Before you start using the Airstylist, comb or brush the hair so that it is untangled and smooth.
2 Use a comb to divide the hair into locks.
Do not put too much hair in one lock.

Connecting and disconnecting attachments

Do not insert the mains plug into the wall socket until after you have connected the attachment.

1 Attach the bristle brush to the stylist by aligning the arrows on the brush with the arrows on the stylist and pressing the brush home (Fig. 2).

You will hear a click.

2 To remove the attachment from the appliance, press the release button and pull the attachment in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 3)

Using the appliance

Making small curls

We advise you to perform a curl test to determine how long the brush should be held in your hair to achieve a good result. Start with 8 to 10 seconds. You may have to hold the brush in your hair longer for tighter curls. Less tight curls will require less than 8 seconds.

1 Divide the hair into locks.
2 Take a lock of hair and wind it round the brush. Make sure the end of the lock is wound in the required direction.

Do not wind too much hair round the brush at a time.

Do not wind a lock of hair more than twice round the brush.

Note: The thinner the lock of hair, the tighter the curl will be.

Note: Make sure the lock of hair is in contact with the barrel of the brush.

If you wind the hair at right angles to the scalp, you will give your hair optimum lift and volume.
