How To Use A Hairdryer Diffuser
Hairdryer diffusers are ideal for anyone with textured and curly hair as they help to enhance your natural curls and waves without encouraging any unwanted frizz.
Hairdryer diffusers are bowl-shaped plastic attachments that contain small prongs that hold your hair while you dry it. Diffusers slot onto the end of your hairdryer and ensure that the heat from your hairdryer is distributed more evenly throughout your hair, making it less prone to thermal damage.
Some hair dryers come with a diffuser attachment, others don’t, so you may need to purchase one separately. Curious about diffusers? Keep on reading to discover how best to use a hair dryer diffuser as well as our favourite diffusers to try.
How To Use A Hairdryer diffuser
1. Wash and condition your hair using your favourite hair care products.
2. Gently towel dry your hair to absorb much of the surface water. Be gentle! You don’t want to encourage your hair to frizz prematurely. At this point, apply a thermal protectant and any curl enhancing creams you may use.
3. Clip your diffuser onto your hairdryer. It may take some trial and error to figure out whether it’s best to start at the bottom of your hair, or at the roots.
4. Position the diffuser at your roots and apply low to medium heat to your hair.
5. Work your way down to the bottom of your hair, placing sections of your hair into the diffuser and moving the diffuser up and down to bounce your hair.
6. Repeat until your hair is dry.
