Your new Philips Profile Shape has been specially designed to give beautiful styling results. It is quick and
easy to use. We hope you will enjoy using your Profile Shape - the hairstyler with which you can create
almost any desired hairdo.
In order to get the best results, please read the instructions carefully before use. Also refer to the
illustrations on fold-out pages.

• The results you can obtain with the Profile
Shape depend upon various factors, for example
the thickness, length and structure of your hair.
Experimenting with the attachments will allow
you to discover the styling possibilities for your
particular hair type and will help you determine
how to achieve the best results.
• When using the Mixed Bristle Brush, make sure
it does not get tangled in your hair. Don’t rotate
the brush for more than 1.5 turns. Keep the
brush away from the head when you remove it
from the hair to avoid picking up any underlaying
hair.
• You can remove the attachment from the hair as
soon as the hair feels dry. The time needed to
dry the hair depends on the thickness of the hair
and the amount of hair being styled.
• Use position || (maximum position) when you
start styling.
When the hair gets dryer, you can switch back to
position |.
•Always switch the appliance off before removing
and/or affixing the attachments.
Attachments
• Shape Style Brush
The Shape Style Brush is suitable for straight and
wavy hair of any length, especially for medium to
long hair. Its special design with vented hollow
center ensures that the warm air is directed
directly into your hairdo. The bobble-tipped pins
provide good grip on the hair.
The heated metal plate on the back of the brush
ensures optimum styling and “volume”. For a
longer lasting result you can apply some mousse
before styling your hair.
Volume
- Insert the Shape Style Brush into the hair. Brush
against the direction of the hair growth, touching
the scalp with the brush. Then rotate the
attachment away from the head (fig. 4). The hair
will be lifted and fall lightly back onto the head.
In this manner you add maximum volume and
body to the hair.

How to use
•Remember, a good haircut is the basis for a good
hairstyle.
•The Profile Shape is most effective when the hair
is slightly damp. After washing, dry your hair in the
normal way until it is damp. Then begin using your
styler. When the hair is dry, slightly dampen it with
water.
•Before styling, brush or comb your hair to ensure
that it is untangled.
•Prevent the hair from becoming too dry.
Overdrying may result in frizzy hair ends which
are hard to style.

•If the hair is still damp you can hold the Shape
Style Brush still for a moment, before you rotate
it away from the head to remove it.
•You can also add volume to long hair by holding
your head down and brushing the hair with the
Shape Styler in this position.
Shaping and Styling
Making waves in medium to long hair
- Switch on the appliance. Take the ends of the
hair (fig. 5) and wind the brush around the tress
in the desired direction (fig. 6). The resulting
shape of the wave depends on the thickness of
the lock.
- As soon as the hair is warm to the touch, remove
the hot air brush from the hair by rotating it away
from the head.
- Leave the curls or waves to cool down, before
finishing by combing, brushing or fingercombing
the hair into its final style (fig. 7).
•Mixed Bristle Brush
Making curls in medium to long hair
- Divide the hair into tresses (fig. 8), using a comb.
Do not take too much hair in one tress. The
resulting shape of the waves or curls depends
on the thickness of the lock and the tightness of
winding the hair around the brush. For waves
take larger locks and wind them loose around
the brush.
- Switch on the appliance. Wind the hair around
the brush in the desired direction (fig. 9). When
using the Mixed Bristle Brush, make sure it does
not get tangled in the hair. Therefore, do not
rotate it in the hair more than 1,5 turn.
Ensure that the hair is wound up so that it is at
right angles to the scalp (fig. 10). This will give
your hair optimum lift and volume.
As soon as the hair is warm to the touch, remove
the brush from the hair.
- Leave the curls or waves to cool down, before
finishing by combing, brushing or fingercombing
the hair into its final style (fig. 11).
To remove the brush from the hair
- Carefully rotate the styler in the opposite
direction, just far enough to release the hair
without spoiling the curl. Be careful not to pick up
underlying hairs because this could cause the
brush to get stuck in the hair.
•Shape Bristle Brush
The Shape Bristle Brush is suitable for finishing
and shaping medium to long hair. It will be easy to
tame and control permed, natural curly or wavy
hair. The Shape Bristle Brush is especially
designed to get the hair with maximum grip in
natural free flowing effects. Because the air
circulates directly and freely through both the
brush and the hair it will offer grooming, shaping
and conditioning in a controlled process.
Grooming
- To groom and condition the hair and have a
straight finish, lift the hair at the roots on the
sides of your head, and follow down the hair
lengths with the styler (fig. 12). This technique
will tame stray ends and help promote shine and
softness.
Shaping
- To shape the hair into free flowing effects, switch
your brush position and direction during
combing; the hair will gain waves and strokes
(fig. 13).
Cleaning
The brushes can be cleaned with a small brush or
a dry cloth.
Storage
The appliance can be hung
from the hanging loop
(fig. 14).
