QuoteReplyTopic: How do I use a Diffuser Posted: March 27 2006 at 8:37am
Hi,
Im 24 & have been blowing my hair straight. I let my stylist talk me into wearing it curly yesterday - she used the diffuser and it turned out great - actually wore it curly for the first time ever. I have tried using the diffuser I have a few times, and it always ends up turning out badly.
If anyone has any tips or "how to's" on using one, I would really appreicate the input. THANKS!!
The diffuser is very gentle on your hair. It distributes the heat without being aggressive, which is perfect for drying fine, coloured, permed or naturally curly hair.
Dry your hair using a hair dryer with a diffuser:
Dry your hair beginning at the roots and using circular motions, always moving in the same direction. Use the diffuser with the hair dryer set at speed 1 only.
Continue drying, keeping the hair dryer at a 90-degree angle from scalp. This will lift the roots away from the scalp giving your hair volume.
Finish by drying the ends.
To set your hair style and achieve a ‘long-lasting’ effect, finish by blowing a ‘cool shot’ through your hair.
Add volume to your hair using a hair dryer with a diffuser:
To add volume to your hair, dry it upside down so that the roots fall away from your scalp. Use the diffuser with the hair dryer set at speed 1 only.
Point the hair dryer at the roots to give your hair maximum volume.
Continue the process to the ends of your hair.
When your hair is dry, throw your hair back and brush to shape. To set the style and achieve a ‘long-lasting’ effect, finish by blowing a ‘cool shot’ through your hair.
Using a hair dryer with a concentrator:
The concentrator directs the airflow precisely, it is especially recommended for smoothing and shaping your hair. It is also used to produce more volume from the roots.
Pre-dry your hair with the hairdryer on the highest heat setting. For drying, separate your hair into 5-cm wide sections. Place a large round brush at the root of one of the sections.
Point the hair dryer with the concentrator at a 90-degree angle to the section and run the brush under it, beginning at the roots and working down to the tips. Your hair dryer should now be set at medium. Repeat the process several times to dry the section completely before moving on to the next section.
Finish by turning the ends under.
