Introduction
Naturally, healthy looking hair contains around 15% moisture. Scientific
tests have shown that continuously drying at a too high temperature
can lead to overdrying, in which case the moisture level of the hair falls
below the natural level of 15%. Hair that has been overdried feels
coarse and looks dull and frizzy.The Philips Hydraprotect Salon 2000 is
equipped with a unique sensor.The sensor technology provides
automatic feedback when your hair is dry; it starts working at a high
temperature to quickly dry wet hair and automatically adjusts to a
lower temperature when the hair is dry, which is shown by the
temperature indicator on the handle.The sensor technology combined
with an ultra strong airflow makes this hairdryer the quickest among
gentle hairdryers.The end result is beautiful shiny hair in top condition!

Styling and drying tips
Here is one style you can create easily and gently with the
Hydraprotect Salon 2000 hairdryer. As you become more familiar with
the appliance, you will discover many other ways to create great styles.
Just use your imagination!
1After washing and conditioning your hair as usual, start drying it
by dabbing the wet hair with a towel, then comb it through
carefully.
2Place the diffuser in your hair so that the tips of the air pins
touch your scalp. By making circular movements with the diffuser,
the hair will be lifted towards the base of the diffuser and the air
pins will dry the hair from the roots upwards.This will add more
volume to your hair. Continue drying until your hair is dry at the
roots.
3Set the airflow to a lower position and continue drying until your
hair is completely dry. Use a comb or brush to style your hair in
the desired way while drying.
4To create volume at the hair ends, hold the diffuser in horizontal
position and place some locks of hair on the base of the diffuser
between the air pins and leave them there for a while.The gentle
airflow will prevent your curls or waves from being blown out of
style while drying.
5Finish off with the cool airflow to fix your style.
Set the rocker switch to the Cool setting and direct the cool airflow at
your hair to fix your style.
