GET TO KNOW YOUR
HOT AIR BRUSH
True Ionic Technology
Many aspects of modern living, including air
conditioning, contact with man-made fibers,
and air pollution contribute to a buildup of static
electricity in the hair. Even brushing and towel
drying the hair can increase these levels, causing
the surface of the cuticle to become rough.
Consequently, hair may have a dull appearance.
Also high levels of static charge cause hair to
become flyaway and difficult to style. The ion
generator produces a stream of negative ions
that act to neutralize the static charge, smoothing
the cuticle for shiny, smooth and manageable
hair, so you can achieve your desired style easily.

Technology
Nano titanium is an exceptional conductor of
heat and is stable in ultra-high temperatures.
This technology uses micro particles of titanium
that provide the ultimate heat performance for
beautiful, healthy-looking hair.
3 Heat/Speed Settings
Low Setting: This position combines ideal air
flow and temperature setting for shaping finer,
damaged or treated hair.
High Setting: Combines ideal airflow with higher
temperature, especially recommended for
pre-drying and also for styling thick hair.
Cool Setting: Using the cool setting at the end
sets the style for a long-lasting effect. The
rotation/spin function is not needed for cool
setting so that style can easily be set.
Rotation Settings
There are two rotation speed settings. To make
the brush head rotate, press the buttons marked
<< and >>, these will make the brush head
rotate clockwise and counterclockwise. The
rotation can be used on the low and high
settings. When the appliance is used on the cool
setting, the brush head will not rotate. For best
results, use the rotating brush feature to create
styles with gorgeous volume and shine.
Protective Cover
After every use, always make sure that the
protective shield is placed over the brush head.
This protects the bristles and stops them from
getting distorted.
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
Use a hairdryer first to dry hair and remove the
excess moisture.
Once the hair is 80% dry, you should start to
create your style using the Babyliss

Styling Tips For
Maximum
Volume and Body
1. Start by sectioning the hair. Be
sure to comb through hair so it's
detangled.
2. To turn the appliance on, select
the correct heat setting based on
hair type.
3. Position the appliance in the hair
close to the roots, and brush
through the section.
4. Move the brush through the hair
toward the ends, and as you
reach the end of the section, start
to rotate the brush away from the
head by pressing and holding the
appropriate rotate button.
5. As you do this, resist the rotation
of the brush by pulling the brush
downward. Tension created
through the section of hair will help
to smooth hair faster.
IMPORTANT! It may take several
attempts to perfect this technique.
If the brush spins too quickly, simply
release the rotation button and remove
from the hair.
6. For added root lift, hold the brush
in place at the root for a few
seconds.
7. For even mor e volume, allow the
brush to rotate, winding the entire
section of hair around the barrel.
Release the rotate button and then
leave the brush in the hair for a few
seconds. Use cool style setting to
set style.
8. T o release the section, press and
hold the opposite rotation button to
unwind the hair section.
9. Repeat as necessary.
10. For less volume, you can follow the
same steps and use without the spin
function.
11. After use, switch off and unplug the
appliance.
12. Allow to cool before storing away.
13. Place protective shield over brush
head to protect the bristles.
Helpful Hints and Tips
• To dene layers and give shape to
styles, follow step 4 and repeat through
all sections.
• T o get root volume and body through
the top section of hair, follow steps 3
to 6 but using an upward motion.
• You can create ips or tuck hair under.
Also perfect for shaping bangs.

IMPORTANT
Never immerse this product in water
or any other liquid.
IF YOU MUST USE YOUR HOT AIR STYLER IN
THE BATHROOM, INSTALL A GFCI* NOW!
Your local electrician can help you decide which
typeisbestforyou–aportableunitthatplugsinto
the electrical outlet or a permanent unit installed
by your electrician. The National Electrical Code
now requires GFCIs in the bathrooms, garages, and
outdoor outlets of all new homes.
WHY DO YOU NEED A GFCI? Electricity and water
don’t mix. If your hot air styler falls in water while
it’s plugged in, the electric shock
can kill you... even if the switch
is off. A regular fuse or circuit
breaker won’t protect you under
these circumstances. A GFCI offers
you far greater protection.
A GFCI can save your life! Compared to that, the
price is small! Don’t wait... install one now!
* GFCI is a sensitive device that reacts immediately
to a small electric current leak by stopping the
electricity flow.
USER MAINTENANCE
Your hot air brush is virtually maintenance free.
No lubrication is needed. For proper operating
performance, the hot air brush must be kept
clean. When cleaning is needed, unplug the cord,
allow to cool and clean dust and lint from air
intake openings with a small brush or the brush
attachment of a vacuum cleaner. The outer
surface of the hot air brush should be wiped
clean with a cloth only. Blocked or clogged air
intake vents will cause the hot air styler to
overheat. If overheating occurs, an automatic
safety device will shut the hot air styler or the
heat off to prevent damage or personal injury.
If the unit or the heat turns off, unplug the cord
and allow the hot air styler to cool for 10 to 15
minutes before restarting. Make sure the air
vents are clean.
CAUTION
NEVER allow the power supply cord to be pulled,
twisted, or severely bent. Never wrap the cord
tightly around the hot air styler. Damage will occur
at the high flex point of entry into the hot air styler,
causing it to rupture and short. Inspect the cord
frequently for damage. Stop use immediately if
damage is visible or unit stops or operates
intermittently.
If the cord or hot air styler is damaged or does not
operate properly, return it for repair to an authorized
Babyliss Pro service representative only. No repairs
should be attempted by the consumer.
STORAGE – IMPORTANT
When not in use, your hot air brush should be
disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe,
dry location, out of reach of children. Do not wrap
line cord around hot air styler. Allow the cord to
hang or lie loose and straight at the point of entry
into the hot air styler.
