How to use your Academy Tools Dryer
1. Remove all packaging and point of sale labels before use.
2. Wash and condition your hair as usual.
3. Always towel-dry your hair and ensure that the hair is combed through and detangled before using
the dryer, then divide hair into equal sections.
4. Ensure the switch is set to the ‘off’ setting before plugging into a 230/240v power outlet.
5. Turn the dryer on with the on/off button, selecting the ‘on’ position.
6. Select the required heat and speed setting.There are 2 heat and 2 speed settings, plus the cold shot
button.
a. Use the low heat and speed setting as the hair begins to dry and for styling and scrunch drying.
The low heat is also best for fine or damaged hair.
b. Use the high heat/low speed setting for normal hair.
c. Use the high heat and speed setting for initial drying.
The highest setting is ideal for thick or hard to style hair.
7. Use the cold shot button on warm hair to rapidly cool the hair and set the style in place for a
longer-lasting effect.
The Attachments:
Concentrator Nozzles
Use the slimline concentrator nozzles for directing airflow just where you want it, to ease styling and
straightening.
Use the 6 x 90mm concentrator for larger sections and the 6 x 75mm concentrator for precise styling
on smaller sections. For additional control, use one of the lower settings and point the airflow along the
surface of the hair to be dried.
CAUTION: Take care not to direct the airflow directly onto the skin (e.g. scalp, neck, ears, face, etc.) as hot
air from hairdryers can, particularly if held too close, cause discomfort or even burns.
How does the ionic feature work?
Many aspects of modern living, including air conditioning, contact with man-made fibres and air pollution
add to the build-up of static electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel-drying the hair can increase
these levels.This static charge causes the scales, or cuticles of the hair, to push hair strands apart, resulting
in a rough hair surface. Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance.
High levels of static charge cause hair to become‘flyaway’and difficult to style. The advanced internal
ionic generator conditions hair by emitting negative ions to reduce static, by leaving hair silky and shiny
with reduced frizz.
What is Ceramic Tourmaline Technology?
Ceramic tourmaline technology delivers even heat without hot spots for a glossy, shiny finish. Tourmaline
is a semiprecious crystal which is a natural source of negative ions and far-infrared (FIR) rays.The
production of negative ions from tourmaline eliminates static in the hair, and far-infrared rays assist in the
deep penetration of heat thus preventing hair damage.
