• Use the high heat setting for initial drying, and the low heat setting
as the hair begins to dry and for styling.
• Use the cool setting to set the style for longer lasting results after
drying and styling.
Brush rotation settings
Your styler has a two-way , rotation that can be used when styling
(heat settings only) .
To make the brush head rotate press the switch marked << and >>
on the styler handle. These will make the brush head rotate in a
clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
The styler has 2 heat/speed settings plus cool. When the styler is set
on the high heat setting the brush head will rotate faster. When
the styler is set on the low heat setting the brush head will rotate
slower.
Note: The brush head does not rotate when used on the cool
setting.
The styler can also be used as a fixed head brush for styling.
Attaching and removing the brush heads
To attach the brush head (50mm or 38mm), line up the guides on
the handle and the brush head and press the brush head onto the
handle until you here a click. To remove the brush press on the
unlocking buttons located on the sides of the unit and gently pull
the brush head off.
How to use your Big Hair Styler 1000
1. Remove all packaging and promotional labels before use.
2. Remove the protective brush cover from the brush barrel by firmly
sliding upwards.
3. Plug the styler into a power outlet and select either the low or
high heat settings – Depress the << or >> brush rotation buttons
1
to ensure you understand the rotation direction before styling
your hair .
4. Wash and condition your hair as usual. Comb hair before using
to detangle.
5. Using a hair dryer, dry your hair first until it is 80% dry. For added
volume, turn your head upside down as you dry.
6. Once hair is 80% dry, you should start to create your style using
the Big Hair Styler.
7. Ensure you section your hair using clips before styling .
8. Take a hair section to start styling with approx. 2.5cm - 5cm wide
and no more than 1cm thick (if you have thick hair make the
section around 50mm thick).
9. Slide the on/off temperature switch to either the low or high heat
setting.
10. Place the styler under the section of hair, close to the roots and
brush through the section to remove tangles (without brush
rotating).
11. For added volume at the root of the hair , hold the brush in place
at the root (hair section is draped over top of brush) for a few
seconds.
12. Move the brush through the hair section (hair is draped over
top of brush), towards the ends and as you reach the end of the
hair section, start to rotate the brush away from your head by
pressing and holding the appropriate rotation direction switch.
13. As you do this it is important to resist the rotation of the brush
by pulling the brush downwards. The brush should be rotating
through the section of your hair (without the hair becoming
wound round the brush head if you are holding the styler with
the correct tension against the hair) to create a brushing effect
as it dries and styles the hair.
IMPORTANT! It may take several attempts to perfect this technique.
If the brush spins too quickly and hair wraps around the brush head ,
simply release the rotation button and remove from the hair. Use the
low heat setting (low brush speed) and practise rotating the brush
on the lower ends of your hair until you feel comfortable with the
styling action. If hair continues to wrap around the barrel you need
to increase the downward tension.
It is important to section your hair before styling and style section by
section to get the best results.
14. For even more volume, allow the brush to rotate, winding the
entire section of hair around the barrel, the brush will move
upwards towards your scalp then release the the rotation switch
and leave in the hair for a few seconds.
15. To release the section of hair, press and hold the opposite
rotation button to unwind the hair section. If using the styler as
outlined in points 14. and 15., do not wind the hair too tightly
near the scalp as over time this could flatten your bristles.
