Appliance Description
The hot air brush consists of several key components:
- Cap: Protects the brush attachment.
- Brush Attachment: The main styling component with bristles.
- Curl Release Button: Used to easily release hair from the brush.
- Level Switch: Controls the heat settings.
- Handle: For gripping and maneuvering the appliance.
- Air Intake Grille: Located at the base of the handle, it draws in air for heating.
- Hanger: For convenient storage.
Usage Features
The hot air brush offers two heat levels for styling and drying:
- Level 0: Appliance is switched off.
- Level 1 (Low Heat): Ideal for sensitive or fine hair.
- Level 2 (High Heat): Ideal for normal hair.
The appliance can be used to create small curls and waves, and to dry slightly damp hair. For best results, hair should be towel-dried or blow-dried until it is slightly damp, but not wet.
Styling and Drying Hair:
- After towel-drying or blow-drying, plug the appliance into a mains socket.
- Select the desired heat level (1 or 2) using the level switch (4).
- If needed, divide hair into sections and isolate a single lock.
- Place the brush attachment (2) at the end of the hair lock, distributing the hair evenly along its entire length.
- Rotate the appliance by the handle (5) to roll the hair lock onto the brush attachment (2).
- To release the hair, slide the curl release button (3) towards the handle (5) and hold it in position while pulling the appliance downwards, allowing the brush attachment (2) to unroll from the hair.
- Tip: Placing the brush attachment (2) at the hairline and simply brushing (without curling) can add volume. Be cautious with longer hair to prevent tangling in the bristles.
- Caution: If hair gets caught in the bristles, carefully remove it with fingers after setting the level switch (4) back to "0" to avoid burns.
- Repeat this process for all desired hair sections until satisfied with the result.
- Note: If the appliance malfunctions, unplug it and let it cool for a few minutes. The appliance has an overheating protector.
- Switch off the appliance by returning the level switch (4) to "0".
- Unplug the appliance from the mains socket.
Tips and Tricks:
- Style hair when it is almost dry.
- Use a suitable styling product, especially one with heat protection, to enhance curl durability when using higher heat.
- Divide hair into individual locks for more fullness.
- To achieve more root volume, dry hair from the roots towards the tips. This is particularly useful for short hair or styling fringes.
- If you plan to comb out the hair after styling, allow it to cool down completely first.
