What does a diffuser do for curly hair? A diffuser attachment spreads heat evenly, minimising frizz and preserving curl structure while drying.
Why is a diffuser better than regular blow-drying? Regular nozzles create direct airflow that can cause frizz and disrupt curls—diffusers use gentle, indirect heat to protect curl pattern.
Can any hair dryer use a diffuser? Many diffusers are universal, but it’s best to check compatibility with your specific dryer model.
What shape diffuser is best? Bowl-shaped diffusers with long fingers are best—they lift curls at the root and allow air to circulate around them.
How do I use a diffuser correctly? Apply curl cream, then gently cup sections of your hair into the diffuser and dry on low heat/speed. Avoid touching curls too much.
Should I use heat protectant before diffusing? Yes. Even on low heat, protectants shield your hair from damage and dryness.
Can I get volume at the roots with a diffuser? Absolutely. Flip your head upside down and diffuse near the roots to add lift and volume.
How long should I diffuse my curls? Around 15–30 minutes depending on hair thickness. Finish with a cool shot to set curls and reduce frizz.
Will a diffuser work on wavy hair? Yes. Diffusers help enhance and define waves while adding body and reducing puffiness.
