Welcome to effortless styling at home
New to a 6-in-1 hair styler? This beginner-friendly guide shows you how to use the GLAMUP AirCurler™ with more confidence—from prep and attachment choice to soft curls, smooth lengths and a polished finish.
Getting Started with Your Multi Hair Styler
The AirCurler™ combines drying and styling attachments in one tool, so you can create curls, volume and a smooth finish without reaching for several separate tools.
What You’ll Need
- Your GLAMUP AirCurler™ 6-in-1 hair styler and the attachment you plan to use
- Heat protectant
- Sectioning clips
- Your preferred styling products, if you use them
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Start with clean, towel-dried hair that is around 60–80% dry. Apply heat protectant evenly, then gently detangle. Damp—not dripping-wet—hair gives you more control while styling.
Step 2: Choose the Right Attachment
Pick the attachment to match the finish you want. The curling barrels are for soft curls and waves; the round or volumizing brush helps create lift and a blowout effect; the smoothing nozzle is for a sleeker finish. See the AirCurler attachment guide for a closer look at each option.
Step 3: Section Your Hair
Clip your hair into manageable sections. Smaller sections are easier to control and help the airflow work more evenly from roots to ends.
Step 4: Start Styling
For Curls with the Curling Barrels
Hold a small section near the barrel and let the airflow guide the hair around it. Keep the section in place for 5–8 seconds, then release gently. For a softer finish, allow the curl to cool before loosening it with your fingers. For more help with staying power, read our guide on making curls last all day.
For Volume with a Round or Volumizing Brush
Place the brush at the roots, lift gently and guide it down through the section. Work slowly and keep light tension in the hair for a smooth, airy blowout.
For Smoothing with the Smoothing Nozzle
Direct the airflow from roots to ends while following the hair’s natural direction. Use a steady, unhurried pass for a sleek finish.
Step 5: Set Your Style
When each section is styled, finish with the cool-shot setting. Let the style cool for a moment before brushing or touching it, especially if you want to keep curls more defined.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
- Starting on soaking-wet hair: Towel-dry first for easier styling.
- Skipping heat protectant: Apply it before styling, especially if you use heat regularly.
- Taking sections that are too large: Smaller sections improve control and consistency.
- Rushing the release: Give curls a moment to cool before loosening them.
