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.

allows you to give your style volume and
bounce.

ENGLISH 11

Curly or wavy hair
C◗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.
- In the meantime you can style your hair with
your free hand or with a comb.
- 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
C◗To dry long hair, you can spread out locks of
hair on top of the diffuser.
C◗Alternatively, you can comb the hair
downwards with the pins of the diffuser while
drying.
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!
ENGLISH12

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.

Einleitung
Der Philips Powerprotect ION wurde für Ihre
persönlichen Bedürfnisse entwickelt und verleiht
Ihrem Haar Schönheit und Glanz, denn es
zerzaust nicht. Der Haartrockner stößt negativ
geladene Partikel (Ionen) aus, die vom Luftstrom
absorbiert werden und das Haar umgeben.
Negative Ionen reduzieren die Bildung statischer
Aufladung, so dass Ihr Haar gepflegt, weich und
leicht kämmbar bleibt.
Wissenschaftliche Studien haben gezeigt, dass zu
hohe Temperaturen zu Austrocknung der Haare
führen kann. Ausgetrocknetes Haar fühlt sich rauh
an, sieht stumpf und kraus aus.Während die
gängigen Haartrockner das Haar auf sehr hohe
Temperaturen erhitzen können (ca. 80cC), ist der
Powerprotect ION mit dem Powerprotect-
System ausgestattet, das Ihr Haar bei einer
niedrigeren Temperatur von 57cC sanft und
schonend trocknet und das Risiko von zu stark
erhitztem Haar reduziert. In Kombination mit
einem extra starken Luftstrom trocknet das
Powerprotect-System Ihr Haar besonders schnell
und verleiht ihm Glanz,Volumen und Fülle.
