Which hair dryer with diffuser to choose

A diffuser is a simple and convenient device that allows you to quickly create a hairstyle. But not all women use them, because they don’t know how to choose the right one.

Types of diffusers and their purpose

Diffuser – a nozzle with a round working surface and teeth (“fingers”). At the base of the teeth there are holes that allow air to pass through. Due to this design, the nozzle does not overheat the hair and has a massage effect on the scalp.

Hairdryer manufacturers offer attachments in different variations. They differ:

• by diameter. Wide ones allow you to dry your hair in a short time;
• according to the material of the teeth. Can be made of plastic or silicone;
• along the length of the “fingers”. They can be long, medium, short;
• by frequency of teeth. Are located close or far from each other;
• by the thickness of the “fingers”, as well as their shape. There are thin or thick spikes, curly, flat, and cylindrical.

You should choose one type or another based on the type, thickness, and length of hair.

Help: usually hair dryers already have a diffuser attachment included, but it can also be purchased additionally.

Which diffuser to choose depending on hair length

Hair length is the first factor influencing the choice. Please consider the following tips.

• For women with short or medium length strands, it is better to choose short, thin “fingers” with close spacing. The teeth can be plastic or silicone.
• For long hair, the nozzle should be wide with long, sparse, exclusively plastic “fingers”. Silicone ones are not suitable, as they will get tangled in the strands and ruin your hairstyle.

Important: if in doubt what to choose, consult the seller. After all, having bought a diffuser for thick and long curls, you will not be able to style your hair on short and thin strands.

Choosing a diffuser for different hair types

The next factor is hair type. In order not to spoil your luxurious hair, or harm your already weakened hair, take into account the following tips.

• For thick hair, a wide disc with sparse thick teeth is perfect. It will quickly dry the mop and ensure its safety.
• For thin, brittle strands, the best option is short “fingers”. Long ones are contraindicated for this type, as they threaten hair loss.
• A nozzle with flat spikes should be chosen by women with thin and thick strands who need volume.
• If you want to curl your hair, give preference to curly spikes. They are designed specifically for creating curls.
• Cylindrical teeth are universal. Equally suitable for curling and straightening.

Attention: vibrating “fingers” are popular now. They save the owner from having to rotate the hair dryer with her hands. This attachment creates lush volume at the roots.

General recommendations for choosing a hair dryer with diffuser

When planning to buy a hair dryer, consider all the characteristics:

• Power – at least 1800 Watt. The smaller one will dry the strands for a long time, the higher one will consume a lot of electricity.
• Modes – at least two.The first is for drying and styling, the second is for cold mode.
• The ability to regulate the intensity of air supply - optimally 3-4 speeds.
• Frame. It should be rubberized and rough so that the hair dryer does not slip out of your hands.
• Nozzles In addition to the diffuser, a concentrator will not hurt. Expensive models can be equipped with a centrifuge, curling iron, brushing and other types of attachments.

Choose a hair dryer with a diffuser responsibly, and your hair will remain in good condition, and you will be able to do any styling.
