Gillette Supermax Hair Dryer-Styler (1972)
How to dry/smooth/shape/fluff/curl/straighten fast!
How? With new Supermax. It styles your hair in the time it takes to dry it And that’s faster than ever, because now it has more power than ever. Plus two settings for just the right balance of airflow and warmth.
And for styling, look at what the five handy attachments can do the concentrator does fast spot drying (like on rollers); the wide-tooth drying comb smooths; the brush helps add shape and fluff; the fine-tooth curler helps add curl; and the separate handle holds the combs and the brush (it’ll help you straighten hair with too much curl) so you can style with two hands. You see, new Supermax is the hurry-up dryer-styler.
