SUPER STYLING GUIDE
Your best looks begin with a good haircut that’s well maintained. Always treat hair right with superior quality
shampoos, conditioners, and fi nishing products.
The Infi niti Hair Designer
by Conair
®
is an innovative, revolutionary styler that has effectively eliminated the hair
brush and brought salon quality results to your home.
DRYING BASICS
1. Shampoo and condition hair with products of your choice. Rinse thoroughly. Towel dry hair to remove excess
moisture. Using the dryer, start at a lower setting and direct hot air through a section of hair at a time. Move
dryer steadily across each section so that the hot air passes through hair. Direct air fl ow at hair not scalp.
Clouds of negatively charged ions will help to reduce static electricity, control frizzy fl yaways and contribute to
your hair’s shine.
2. Keep dryer’s air intake vents unobstructed and free from hair while drying.
3. To avoid over drying, do not concentrate heat on any one section for any extended length of time. Keep dryer
moving as you style.

4. For quick touch ups, between shampoos, dampen hair with a mist of water before styling with the dryer.
5. When using your dryer to create curls and waves, dry hair almost completely on the high temperature setting,
then fi nish styling with Cool Shot feature to close hair shaft and lock in style.
The professional Infi niti Hair Designer
by Conair
®
is very effective, even at lower temperatures, and helps to give
healthier-looking, shiny more manageable hair with maximum styling control.
BODY & VOLUME
To create extra volume, turn head upside down while drying. Position the air fl ow toward the roots
for maximum lift. When hair is dry, toss head back and brush hair into place.
STRAIGHTENING
Work with hair in sections when creating a super straight look. Using the patent-pending Tourmaline
Ceramic
Straightening attachment, select a small section of hair and pass through each section to
smooth out curls and help control frizz. (See "How To Straighten Your Hair" section.)
MAKING WAVES
Tousled, natural-looking waves are easily created by grasping hair at the roots and scrunching
between fi ngertips while drying. You can also order a Tourmaline Ceramic
soft tip diffuser for wavy
styles. See order form in back of this instruction booklet.

style both the right and left sides, as well as hard to reach areas such as the back of your head.
Straightening very long hair, giving your bangs and roots body or fl ipping the ends now becomes
simplifi ed in one easy step.
STEP-BY-STEP STRAIGHTENING
PUTTING ON AND REMOVING THE ATTACHMENTS
1. Snap the straightener or concentrator attachment onto the barrel and rotate to lock into
desired position. There are 8 different locking positions.
2. To remove the attachment press the 2 attachment release buttons on the sides of the
appliance while gently removing the attachment.
3. Also use the release buttons when adjusting attachment angles.
HOW TO STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR
PREPARING YOUR HAIR
1. Carefully wash and comb out your hair.
Expert’s advice: Always start combing wet hair at the ends then slowly work your way up
towards the roots. Gentle combing prevents split ends from forming.
2. Towel dry your hair and pre dry using the Hair Designer set at the high setting, using the
concentrator if necessary. For best results, towel dry and ensure hair is not soaking wet
before using the straightening attachment.
Expert’s Advice: A: Whatever type of hair you have, start the pre-drying process by
bending at the waist, allowing your hair to fall forward to better lift the roots and give your
style volume. B: If, however, you prefer less volume, stand with your head straight to pre-
dry your hair.

GETTING THE DRYER READY
1. Attach the straightener attachment.
2. Select the tension setting recommended for your hair type using the Tension Control Dial
located on the side of the straightener attachment. Expert's advice: The fi rst time you use
the attachment, set it at tension 4 (strongest tension) to familiarize yourself with the Infi niti
Hair Designer
. Gradually decrease the tension setting until you fi nd the best setting for
your hair.
3. For best results, use the appliance set at high setting (Speed/temperature).
4. Using the release lock buttons set attachment at desired angle for professional, salon styling results.
Use CAUTION when changing settings while in use as straightening attachment tension control dial may be hot.
INFINITI HAIR DESIGNER
STRAIGHTENING TRIPLE ACTION STYLING PRINCIPLE
The patent-pending straightener attachment dries, straightens and shines your hair in just
one step. The unique principle integrates the 3 essential steps for perfect straightening results:
1. A detangling comb distributes your hair among the center Tourmaline Ceramic
straightening plates.
2. Each Tourmaline Ceramic
center plate is then able to straighten ef ciently using tension
to smooth out curls, eliminate static and control frizz.
3. The straightened hair is then given a shiny, polished fi nish as it passes through the fl ocked disks.
HOW TO USE THE 360
O
ROTATING HEAD ATTACHMENT
To carry out the 3 steps effectively, the straightener attachment rotates 360
o
into 8 different positions. To change
the position, press the 2 attachment release lock buttons on each side of the barrel, turn the attachment, and then
release the buttons rotating the attachment until it ‘clicks’ into place. Do not
force rotation without using attachment release lock buttons.
Expert’s Advice: Ideally, the teeth of the detangling comb should be positioned
facing down and used on the hair fi rst: by using this position hair gets detan-
gled, is straightened and then shined for a silky, smooth, salon fi nish.

LONG/SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR
1. Select the horizontal position for the straightener attachment.
2. Separate a section of hair about 1½" wide. Place the dryer (detangling comb facing down) at
the roots ensuring that the teeth of the detangling comb penetrate hair fully.
3. Hold ends of hair strand while straightening to keep hair taut and create tension for best
results.
4. With a slight twisting motion of the wrist, turn the appliance under and slide it slowly down
the length of your hair to smooth out curls underneath strand.
5. Repeat if necessary until strand reaches the desired level of smoothness. Finish with a cool
air shot to set style.
6. For smoother hair, concentrate heat and tourmaline, ceramic, ionic technology by slowly
straightening each strand. With this new technology, results will still be faster and easier than
using a traditional brush.
STYLING TIPS
Work in stages.
1. Section hair and clip-up the upper layers of hair on top of your head to begin with the hair
underneath and at the nape of the neck.
2. Move on to the hair at the back of your head and then on the sides.
3. Finish with the upper layers of hair. For best results, hold ends of selected strand to keep
hair taut while straightening. For straighter, sleeker strands slowly pass dryer with straightener
attachment through each strand. This concentrates heat and tourmaline, ceramic, ionic
technology on selected hair strand smoothing away curls and controlling frizz. For more volume,
glide dryer with straightener attachment more quickly through each strand.
Expert’s Advice: Smooth or volume straightening? To reduce the volume of thick or
voluminous hair, position the Infi niti Hair Designer
on top of the section of hair. If you want
more volume, place the Infi niti Hair Designer
underneath the section of hair to straighten
while lifting the roots for added volume.
