Always unplug your hair dryer and let it cool completely before cleaning. 2. Remove the Filter: Most hair dryers have a removable filter at the back. Consult your user manual to locate it. Gently remove the filter and detach any hair or debris. 3. Clean the Air Intake Vents: Use a soft brush or compressed air to dislodge any dust or lint accumulated around the air intake vents. 4.
