YOUR A-B-C FOR SMOOTH-DRYING HAIR Begin by lightly drying on medium heat until your hair is about 70% dry. Next, clip up the top three quarters of your hair onto the crown of your head. Sectioning your hair helps each section dry more quickly, and avoids over-drying. Dry the bottom layer on a higher heat setting and direct the airflow down the hair shaft to create a smooth finish. Continue with each section. Always direct the airflow downwards to keep the hair cuticle laying flat. Directing it up the hair shaft roughens the cuticle and creates frizz.

YOUR A-B-C FOR DRYING CURLY HAIR Tip your head forward and dry from the roots, then lightly place your curls on the diffuser claw. Move the diffuser close to your scalp, and gently lift hair at the roots to add volume. Dry 80% of your hair and allow the rest to air-dry. This will prevent drying out and frizz. Finish by gently scrunching the hair into shape and forming your style.
