Shiny, silky and healthy hair also comes through the right drying technique and the choice of accessories to attach to the hair dryer. Among these is the diffuser. But, what is it for and how best to use it? Find out in this article, in which you will also find the best-sellers among Parlux diffusers.
The diffuser is an accessory to be applied to the hair dryer and can be equipped with massaging tips that serve to distribute the airflow evenly.
What is the hair dryer diffuser used for?
Used mainly for drying curly hair, the hair dryer diffuser is used to:
- reduce air pressure compared to a very concentrated hot spray
- lift the roots and gently separate strands so as to create volume and perfect the hairstyle
- protect the hair by simulating natural drying and providing perfect definition
How to use a hair dryer diffuser?
If you are wondering how best to use a diffuser, know that it is super simple. First, wash your hair and pat it dry with a towel so that it stays slightly damp. Next:
- apply a styling product to the entire length of the hair
- start drying them with a diffuser blow dryer, massaging a section of scalp with the diffuser tips so that the airflow is directed toward the roots
- move on to the next section and continue this way until you have dried all the hair
- put your head down and repeatedly move the diffuser from the bottom to the top; then move to the sides and complete with the nape: in this way you will enhance the curls and avoid frizz.
From time to time, to run a hand through the hair and shake it out to check its drying.
Not just curly!!! If you have straight hair, start by blow-drying the roots and continue, in a twisting motion, along the entire length; stand on your head and apply a volumizing spray: you will get volume.
These, of course, are general rules. If we want to go into more detail about how to use the hair dryer diffuser, we have to take into consideration the different hair types and ask your trusted hairdresser for advice!
