A hair diffuser is an attachment that often comes with your hair dryer but sometimes is sold as a separate tool that is specially appreciated by people with curly hair or prone to frizzy hair regardless if they have curly hair or not. A hair diffuser not only prevents the frizzy hair but also prevents the hair from being damaged by the direct heat of the hair dryer.

Curly haired people will truly appreciate the difference that a hair diffuser can make for their hair, but it is necessary understand how to use a hair diffuser according to different purposes if you want to get the most from this attachment.

For just drying your hair, first make sure to start at the root level working with circular movements and always in the same direction. Make sure the hair diffuser attachment is firmly in place and that your hair dryer is kept at the lower speed.

Continue drying with circular motions through your head while keeping the hair dryer at a 90-degree angle from your scalp to promote hair volume while keeping the heat distributed evenly.

Like with all hair drying, your hair ends must be dried as the last step and then you can finish with a cool shot through your air to achieve volume, putting your head upside down to apply the diffuser on the roots of your already dried hair to obtain more lift.

Every time you want to add volume, dry your hair upside down using the hair diffuser so your hair roots fall away from the scalp to allow the warm air to do the job and pointing the difusser to the roots to continue towards the ends of your hair.

Remember that every time you work with the air diffuser the speed of the hair dryer must be kept in the lower position. Opposite to a concentrator that directs the airflow precisely to a specific area of your hair, a diffuser provides you with a smooth drying technique that needs little speed.

Some people comb through the part of the hair they are working on before applying the hair diffuser, however, make sure to use a comb, not a brush, to avoid damaging your hair during this process, regardless if you scrunch up small sections at a time. If you are working with a hair diffuser to obtain volume, you can also apply the desired product directly to your hair before beginning to dry.

Styling with a hair diffuser is also a good option for anyone looking for a professional and low-maintenance hair change by taking advantage of natural hair movement, which is normally the result of letting the hair dry on its own.

Hair diffusers stop the heat of the hair dryer allowing only the warmth that hair needs to dry faster so we can say this attachment is an intermediate point between natural hair drying and blowing hair dry and it works well with curly, straight, full and fine hair, although results vary according to each one\'s hair type, this attachment can be used by anyone.
