Wahl has a professional hairdressing heritage spanning over 80 years. During
this time Wahl has supported the professional hairdresser and barber with the
development of professional styling tools.
In order to keep your hair in optimum condition Wahl recommends that you visit
your hairdresser or barber every four to eight weeks. During consultation at your
salon your stylist will recommend which products are ideal to support your style at
home and keep your hair looking salon perfect.
Hair is a complicated structure manufactured within the scalp in the hair follicle
from water, vitamins, minerals and proteins. This structure is surrounded by an
outer layer that holds the structure together and protects it from external elements.
Healthy hair grows at a rate of around one centimetre per month in a growth cycle
that lasts around three years; hence hair will grow to around 36 centimetres long
if allowed to. At the end of this cycle the hair will naturally fall out and the growth
cycle starts again.
REAR FILTER
• At the motor end of the hairdryer there is a lter which may be removed for
cleaning.
• This lter prevents hair from being sucked into the motor and therefore extends
the life of your hairdryer.
• It is recommended that this lter is removed regularly for cleaning, and thereby
allowing air to ow freely through the motor and fan unit.
HEAT SETTINGS
The Wahl Academy Hairdryer has 3 temperature settings, 2 speed settings and a
cold shot function, which provides 7 different heat/speed variations.
• High Heat High Speed
• High Heat Low Speed
• Low Heat High Speed
• Low Heat Low Speed
