Start with towel-dried, detangled hair to speed up drying and reduce heat exposure. Keep the dryer moving and use lower heat settings when possible to protect the hair. Use the concentrator with a tensioned brush for smooth, salon-style blowouts and finish with the cool shot to set the style. For defined curls or waves, attach the diffuser, use low heat and lift sections into the bowl-shaped diffuser. Clean the intake filter regularly and unplug after use to maintain performance and safety.
