How Is A Diffuser Used For Styling?

It depends on your hair type and your desired style, but the general procedure for curly hair is to apply a styling product to your wet hair, attach your diffuser to the hair dryer barrel, and set to work. Focus on the roots of your hair first, and continue moving the dryer around your head in a circular motion. When drying the bottom of your hair, you can encourage the curl by scrunching the hair with your fingers as you go. For extra body, try finishing by drying hair with your head turned upside down.

Shopping For Diffusers

One great thing about diffusers is that they're a very good value. While a hair dryer can be quite pricey, many diffusers can be bought for less than $20, some for half that! There are diffusers in the neighborhood of $40, but these are high-end salon-grade tools that would interest someone very serious about styling.

If you already have a hair dryer, a diffuser can be a great addition. Just be careful about sizing. While plenty of diffusers fit the barrels of all or most standard hair dryers, some will only fit hair dryers of certain sizes and brands. Aside from fit, you should take into consideration your hair length, styling goals, and aesthetic preferences when choosing a diffuser. A diffuser is a small investment that can make a big difference in the health and beauty of your hair.
