• The hair dryer
• 2 “professional” nozzles: long hair and standard

Why the Turbo Booster

A salon dryer works through the day, one blow-dry after another. What this one brings to that is a plain set of parts: an AC-collector motor, a safety thermostat, a filter that comes out for cleaning, and a hanging loop to put it away between clients.

Key features

• Long-hair nozzle: for drying longer hair
• Standard nozzle: for directed drying and smoothing

Who it is not for

• 100-120 V mains - it is rated 220-240 V only
• Diffused drying of curls - no diffuser is named for this dryer; WAHL's separate diffuser names the Wahl Vanquish Compact

Professional tip

Finish each section with the cold shot. It sets the style you have just dried before you move to the next section.

How to use

1. Towel-dry the hair first.
2. Fit a nozzle.
3. Rough-dry on high speed and medium heat.
4. Work section by section with the nozzle and a brush.
5. Set each section with the cold shot.
6. Switch off before you unplug.

Care and maintenance

With the dryer unplugged, take the filter out regularly, brush the lint off and refit it before the next use.
