ENGLISH
Tip: Finishing off your drying session with a cool airflow will make your hair
shinier.
Concentrator
The concentrator enables you to direct the airflow straight at the brush or comb with
which you are styling your hair.
1 Connect the concentrator by simply snapping it onto the appliance.
Disconnect it by pulling it off (fig. 3).
Volume diffuser
The volume diffuser has been specially developed to gently dry both straight
and curly or wavy hair.
The volume diffuser emits a gentle airflow and allows you to give your style
volume and bounce.
1 Connect the diffuser by simply snapping it onto the appliance and align the
arrows on the diffuser and the barrel. Disconnect it by pulling it off (fig. 4).
To add volume at the roots, insert the pins into your hair in such a way that
they touch your scalp (fig. 5).
2 Make rotating movements with the appliance to distribute the warm air evenly
through your hair (fig. 6).
The ceramic tips of the diffuser (HP4892/91 only) protect the hair from damage.
Drying tips
Curly or wavy hair
1 Hold the diffuser at a distance of 10-15 cm from your head to let the hair dry
gradually (fig. 7).
2 In the meantime you can style your hair with your free hand or with a comb.
3 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
To dry long hair, you can spread out locks of hair on top of the diffuser (fig.
8).
Alternatively, you can comb the hair downwards with the pins of the diffuser
while drying (fig. 9).
