Introduction
Natural, healthy looking hair contains around 15%
moisture. Scientific tests have shown that 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 feel coarse and dry and looks dull and
fuzzy. It is static and difficult to manage.Whereas
normal dryers can heat up the hair to very high
temperatures, the Philips Hydraprotect Salon
Hairdryer has been specially developed and
designed to avoid heating up your hair too much
without lengthening the drying time.The
Hydraprotect Sensor technology allows you to
dry your hair in a caring way, reducing the risk of
overdrying and/or overheating it, thus keeping
your hair healthy, soft and shiny.

Styling and drying tips
Here is one style you can create easily and gently
with the Philips Hydraprotect Salon 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.
C2Place 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 flowing
from the air pins will dry the hair from the
root upwards.This will add more volume
to your hair. Continue drying until your
hair is dry at the roots.
C3Set the airflow to a lower speed and dry
your hair completely. If the hair has
reached its natural moisture content, the
air temperature will be lowered to the
care level, preventing curls, waves and long
hair from becoming fuzzy and dull. Use a
comb or brush to style your hair in the
desired way while drying.
C4To create volume at the hair ends, hold the
diffuser in horizontal position and place
some locks of hair on the base of the
ENGLISH 9

diffuser between the air pins and leave
them there for a few moments.The gentle
airflow will prevent your curls or waves
from being blown out of style while drying.
C5Finish off with a cool shot to fix your style.
