How to make curls with a hairdryer

A modern hair dryer is a multifunctional device designed not only for quick drying, but also for stylish hair styling. For example, if you don't have a curling iron nearby, a hairdryer can help create bouncy curls.

How to make curls with a hairdryer

Before you start making curls with a hairdryer, you need to prepare:

1. Wash your hair with warm water to make the hairstyle elastic. Avoid hot water, as drying your hair will cause frizz.
2. Wrap a waffle towel around your head to absorb moisture.
3. Take care of protection from high temperatures. Buy a heat-protective spray and distribute it evenly over your strands. It is desirable that the product is also a styling product. This will eliminate the need to use additional foam or styling gel.
4. Prepare the available tools: Velcro curlers, clips, round comb.

Using a round comb

This method is suitable for both short haircuts and long strands. In the first case, additional volume is created, in the second - beautiful waves. But it takes skill:

• separate a small strand at the temple, wrap it around a brush; if you have a medium-length haircut, wrap it to the roots; for long curls, follow your personal preferences;
• turn on the hairdryer, direct a stream of air onto the strand;
• wait until the curl has cooled, carefully unwind it;
• Do a similar procedure with the rest of your hair;
• To make your curls last longer, treat them with hairspray.

ATTENTION! Pre-divide thick strands into two zones: the occipital and crown. Start working from the bottom, securing the top with clamps.

Using a diffuser

A diffuser is a special nozzle in the form of a disk with holes that allow hot air to pass through. Additionally, it is equipped with protrusions, so-called fingers, which protect against overheating and have a massage effect on the scalp.

Using a diffuser is one of the simplest and most common methods of creating curls. They love it for its benefits:

• adds root volume;
• installation does not take much time;
• provides quick drying;
• Using the attachment you can not only curl straight hair, but also straighten curled hair.

IMPORTANT! The diffuser varies in appearance: diameter, length and width of the “fingers”. Before purchasing, consult which attachment is right for you personally.

How to create curls with a diffuser:

• divide your hair into strands of approximately equal thickness;
• take a curl from the back of your head and start drying it with a diffuser;
• dry the curl by moving the hair dryer closer and further away, sometimes pressing it to your head;
• Treat your entire hair in the same way;
• fix your hair with hairspray.

Using various attachments to create curls

To curl your hair, you use more than just a diffuser attachment. Suitable for this purpose:

1. Hub. The main nozzle is round, hollow, flattened on the sides. Through a narrow slot, the hot stream is directed to a specific area, increasing the speed and efficiency of drying. The concentrator itself does not curl the hair.But it is indispensable when you need to quickly dry strands curled with curlers, boomerangs, hairpins, curlers. The optimal size of the gap is 1 cm. There are models with a rotating nozzle, providing more convenient operation.
2. Air centrifuge. A cylinder-shaped nozzle that creates air circulation inside. Due to this, natural, slightly disheveled waves are quickly formed. This method is good for medium haircuts. Long hair is harder to work with.

REFERENCE! Don't blow dry your hair every day. This negatively affects the condition of the hair. They become damaged, weak and brittle.

There are also special models of hair dryers - stylers. These are devices with replaceable attachments. The set usually includes:

• round brush – for creating large curls;
• semicircular comb - to give shape and shine;
• thin comb - to create root volume;
• tongs of different diameters - to create curls of different sizes.

Using curlers

By choosing curlers of different diameters you can control the size of the curls:

• divide your hair into four zones: left and right sides, crown, occipital;
• Gradually roll all the strands from each zone onto curlers;
• treat with a hairdryer until completely dry;
• Unwind the curlers and spray your hair with hairspray.
