How to use a diffuser?

Using a diffuser to increase volume or make a hairstyle with bewitching curls is quite simple. For this:

1. Wash your hair and hold the strands wrapped in a towel a bit to remove excess water from them.
2. Take a comb with rare teeth to divide all the hair into 2-3 parts. Separate the hair horizontally at the top and bottom, the nape will be the reference line.

Important! Do not comb your hair and do not separate it with a frequent comb or massage brush. With this approach, wet hair stretches, becomes thinner and brittle, falls out faster. A comb with rare teeth will more carefully allow to separate and untangle the strands. It is desirable that it be made of natural material, such as wood.

3. With a “crab” type clamp, lock the top of the strands.
4. Apply a small amount of styling foam to the lower hair.
5. Turn on the hair dryer with the nozzle, bring it horizontally as close as possible in the scalp from below.
6. Dry the locks by turning them slightly or by moving the diffuser for the dryer up and down.

Important! Additionally, during the process, you can raise your hair with your second hand to increase the volume or slightly tilt your head in the direction in which the dryer is located.

7. After all the strands on the crown are dry, wait a couple of minutes for them to cool, or blow them with cold air, if such a function is in your technique.
8. Dry your upper hair, highlighting individual strands from under the “crab” or tilting your head and strands forward on your face. So still wet and heavy curls will spoil the air volume of those strands from below, to which you have already given the desired shape.
9. When all the strands are completely dry, put them in the form you need and once again go through the diffuser over the entire surface of the head, turning on the hair dryer in cold air.
10. Wait a couple of minutes for the locks to cool.
11. Adjust their position with your hands.
12. Spray the styling varnish with the effect of elastic curls to fix the result.

Important! If during drying you want to create distinct curls, turn the diffuser in the clockwise direction or vice versa, depending on which way you want your strands to be curled - to the face or away from it.
