Introduction
The Philips Powerprotect ION has been specially designed to meet
your personal needs, giving you frizz-free, beautiful and shiny hair.The
ioniser inside the hairdryer emits negatively charged ions that surround
your hair. Negative ions reduce the build-up of static electricity and help
to keep your hair in good condition, making it frizz-free and smooth.
Scientific tests have shown that drying at a too high temperature can
lead to overdrying. Hair that has been overdried, feels coarse and looks
dull and frizzy.Whereas normal hairdryers can heat up the hair to very
high temperatures (approx. 80cC), the Powerprotect ION features the
Powerprotect System.This system offers gentle drying at a lower and
caring temperature of 57cC, reducing the risk of overheating the hair.
Combined with an ultra-strong airflow, the system dries your hair ultra-
quickly, giving it the lustre, body and richness you love.

The concentrator enables you to direct the airflow straight at the brush
or comb with which you are styling your hair.

appliance. Disconnect it by pulling it off (fig. 7).

Volume diffuser
The volume diffuser has been specially developed to gently dry both
straight and curly or wavy hair.

your style volume and bounce (fig. 9).
1Connect the diffuser by simply snapping it onto the appliance and
align the arrows on the diffuser and the barrel. Disconnect it by
pulling it off (fig. 10).
◗To add volume at the roots, insert the pins into your hair in such
a way that they touch your scalp (fig. 11).
2Make rotating movements with the appliance to distribute the
warm air evenly through your hair (fig. 12).
Curly or wavy hair
◗When you are styling curly or wavy hair, hold the diffuser at a
distance of 10-15 cm from your head to let the hair dry gradually
(fig. 13).
- In the meantime you can style your hair with your free hand or
with a comb.
ENGLISH 9

- You can also scrunch locks of hair in your hand to model the curls
and waves while drying.This will prevent the curls from sagging or
becoming frizzy.
Long hair
◗To dry long hair, you can spread out locks of hair on top of the
diffuser (fig. 14).
◗Alternatively, you can comb the hair downwards with the pins of
the diffuser while drying (fig. 15).
Styling and drying tips
Here is one style you can create easily and gently with the Philips
Powerprotect ION 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.
