Why do you need a diffuser in a hair dryer?

A hair dryer diffuser is a special attachment that is designed for quick and beautiful hair styling. The main thing is to learn how to use it correctly, because using this accessory requires some skill. A few simple styling secrets using a diffuser will help you create a luxurious hairstyle.

Why do you need a diffuser attachment in a hair dryer?

The diffuser is quite versatile. With it, you can straighten your hair, and vice versa, curl it, and creating volume is the most popular function of this hair dryer attachment. There are several types of diffusers:

1. A regular round nozzle with several blunt protrusions - spikes - distributes hot air from the hair dryer evenly, allowing you to speed up the drying of your curls.
2. Longer spikes with nozzles on them direct a warm stream directly to the roots of the hair, lifting them and making the hairstyle voluminous.
3. Short and few projections allow you to curl strands without tangling them.
4. Diffusers with silicone fingers are made especially for long-haired beauties, which carefully straighten the curls, preventing them from getting into clumps.
5. A special attachment with a depression in the center and uneven spikes is designed for thin and weak hair.

When choosing a nozzle, you should pay attention to models with holes directly in the spikes, because they direct hot air exclusively to the hair and avoid overheating or even burning the scalp. Special silicone protrusions, on the one hand, reduce hair tangling, but on the other hand, their plasticity can delay the styling process and ruin the result. Therefore, for each type of hair and even for different hairstyles, it is advisable to select a suitable diffuser.

How to use a diffuser in a hair dryer

This unit has a number of significant advantages compared to a conventional hair dryer:

1. The large area of ​​the nozzle distributes the flow over a large head of hair, which makes the hair dryer highly efficient. Installation will not take much time with such an assistant.
2. The diffuser is universal - you can achieve the effect of wet hair, curl curls or completely straighten your hair. In addition, it practically does not require additional tools.
3. It's easy to create extra volume with this hair dryer modification.

1. When drying with a diffuser, its ridges massage the scalp, stimulating blood flow, which nourishes the hair follicles, making them thicker and stronger.

Before drying begins, it is still worth preparing several aids. Foam or other styling product will make your curls manageable and fix the result of your work. For additional fixation, you can use varnish at the end, which will leave slight elasticity without gluing the curls. During this process, some of the hair will need to be moved to the side, so one or more crab clips will come in handy. If you comb your hair while washing with your fingers, you won't need any additional tools.However, going through your hair with a wide-tooth comb still won't hurt.

To create volume

It's always nice to slightly lift your hair from the roots when drying it. You can create volume using a diffuser like this:

• wash your hair thoroughly and pat it dry with a towel;
• apply the foam, distributing it evenly, paying special attention to the roots;
• divide the mop with a horizontal parting and secure the front part with a clip;
• dry the strands with a hairdryer, starting from the back of the head;
• We bring the diffuser to the hair from below so that the protrusions are pressed against the head and the curls are collected inside the nozzle;
• You can make small circular movements while drying to achieve a slight waviness;
• after the back of the head, we proceed to the crown and sides;
• lift the strands with your free hand so that they do not pull the roots down;
• Alternatively, you can tilt your head to the side you are laying;
• to dry the topmost curls, you can even lower your head down so that the weight of the wet curls works to create volume;
• you need to ensure that wet strands do not destroy the already created volume of dried hair;
• at the end, we go over the entire hair with a hairdryer again with the cold blow function turned on, working from the back of the head to the crown;
• We fix everything with a varnish with a low or medium degree of fixation to maintain the elasticity of the hairstyle.

ATTENTION!In order not to damage the curls, you should use products with a thermal protection effect. Frequent drying with hot air makes hair thin and brittle; careful care with oils and sprays after washing keeps curls healthy.

Hair curling

If you have naturally light curls, a hair dryer attachment will help enhance your natural curls and secure them.The effect of wet hair will look good, use the appropriate product to create it.

Curl your hair with a diffuser:

• wash, dry with a towel, apply foam evenly;
• tilt your head to the side and collect the hanging strands into the nozzle, bringing the hair dryer as close to your head as possible so that the spikes touch the skin;
• make smooth rotational movements, twisting the curls onto the protrusions;
• We process the entire head in this way; you can finish styling by applying a fixing agent.

ATTENTION!You don't have to grab a hairdryer right after your shower. You can wait a little, letting the mop dry slightly. This way you will spend less time styling and reduce the impact of hot air on your curls.

Hair straightening

A diffuser is a much more gentle straightening method than an effective but merciless straightening iron. Laying sequence:

• distribute the foam along the entire length;
• comb with a wide-toothed comb and make a straight parting;
• With the spikes of the diffuser, by the way, it is desirable that they be longer, we make combing movements from roots to ends, bending them inward;
• After installation, lightly fix it with varnish.

IMPORTANT! Of course, a diffuser has its advantages, but styling remains a not very useful procedure. Constant exposure to hot air harms your hair. So you need to use a hair dryer in moderation if you want to maintain the beauty and health of your hair.

A hairdryer with a diffuser opens up space for imagination. Find the perfect styling technique and experiment with new hairstyles.
