same time), brush each strand from under-
neath as you direct hot air to top of strand,
always moving slowly and steadily up and
down each strand. This way, you'll be aiming
heat at your hair, not at your scalp.
4. For quick touch-ups between shampoos,
mist hair to dampen it before styling with
dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and
waves, dry hair almost completely on a low
temperature setting, then finish styling by
switching to cool (which also operates with the
IONIZING FUNCTION). This will help reduce
static again, and shine hair for a perfect finish.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR DRYER
The Conair® Ionic Multi-Setting Styler is very effec-
tive, even at lower temperatures, and helps to give
healthier-looking, shine and more manageable hair
with maximum styling control.
THE IONIZING FUNCTION generates a cloud
of negative ions that can:
• neutralize the generally positive charge
on flyaway, frizzy hair
• eliminate static electricity
• contribute to shine
