Super Ionic Technology
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with
man-made bres and air pollution contribute to a build-up of static
electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel drying the hair can
increase these levels, causing the surface of the cuticle to become
rough. Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance. High levels of
static charge can also cause the hair to become “y-away” and difcult
to style. The super ion generator releases more negative ions than a
regular ionic port which act to neutralise the static charge, smoothing
the hairs cuticle for noticeably smooth, shiny, manageable hair.

Heat Settings
There are 2 heats plus a cool setting. Slide the ‘on/off’ switch to the
rst position to select the cool setting ‘*’, the second position for the
low heat ‘I’, and the third position for the high heat ‘II’.
Rotation Settings
There are two rotation speed settings. To make the brush head rotate,
press the buttons marked < and >, this will make the brush head rotate
clockwise and anti-clockwise. When the appliance is set on the high
heat setting the brush head rotation will be faster. When the appliance
is set on the low heat setting the brush head rotation will be slower.
Use the rotating brush feature to create styles with gorgeous volume,
shape and shine.
NOTE: When the appliance is used on the cool setting, the brush head
will not rotate.
Bristle Protection Shields
After every use, always ensure the protective shield is placed over the
brush head. This protects the bristles from damage. When placing
the protective shield over the brush head, ensure to line it up with the
grooves around the top of the airstyler so it slides easily into place.
NOTE: The diagram on the protective shield demonstrates the direction
it should be placed on to the brush head. If placed on incorrectly it may
be difcult to remove.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
• The 50mm brush is perfect for styling longer hair lengths whilst the
39mm brush is perfect for short layers and fringes.
• If you have long or thick hair, you may nd it quicker and easier to
use a hairdryer rst, to rough dry your hair and remove the excess
moisture. For added volume, turn your head upside down as you dry.
• Once the hair is 80% dry, you should start to create your style using
the styler.

Interchangeable Brush Heads
• To attach a brush head, place it over the body of the unit and slide it
down into position.
• Lock the brush head in place by sliding the switch on the top of the
brush to the locked position.
• To remove a brush head, ensure the switch on the top of the brush
head is in the open position.
• Gently slide the brush head up and off the unit to remove.
Volume, Body & Shape
1) Start by sectioning the hair and combing through to remove any
tangles.
2) To turn the appliance on, slide the ‘on/off’ switch to the correct heat
setting for your hair.
3) Place the brush underneath the hair section close to the roots and
brush through the section to remove any tangles.
4) For added root lift, hold the brush in place at the root for a few
seconds.
5) Starting at the root, move the brush through the hair section. Towards
the end of the hair section start to rotate the brush away from your
head by pressing and holding the appropriate rotation button, this
will create shape and movement through the lengths of the hair.
6) As you do this, resist the rotation of the brush by pulling the brush
downwards. This will create tension through the section of hair.
IMPORTANT! It may take several attempts to perfect this technique,
if the brush spins too quickly, simply release the rotation button and
remove from the hair.
7) For maximum volume, place the brush at the end of the hair section
and allow the brush to rotate up the hair section by pressing and
holding the appropriate rotate button. Wind the entire section of hair
around the barrel until you reach the root. Release the rotate button
and then hold the brush in the hair for a few seconds.
8) Slide the switch to the cool setting ‘*’ for a further few seconds, this
cools the hair to create longer lasting volume.

9) To release the section, move the switch back to the ‘I’ or ‘II’ setting
and then press and hold the opposite rotation button to unwind the
hair section.
10) Repeat as necessary.
11) After use, switch off and unplug the appliance.
12) Allow to cool before storing away.
13) Place the protective shield over the brush head to protect the
bristles. Please see the ‘Bristle Protection Shields’ section for
direction.
Helpful Hints and Tips
