A modern girl always needs to keep up with fashion trends, so the subtleties of styling hair with a diffuser will help her to remain herself and create a variety of fashionable images.
About the diffuser
The diffuser is a nozzle for a round-shaped hairdryer, which is used to create beautiful curls and lush strands. The diffuser has a popular round shape, on which there are spikes and holes, their shape and size completely depend on the type of hair of the owner. The diffuser works according to a rather simple principle: it passes hot air through its holes, and thanks to the spikes, the locks are fixed in the desired position. The diffuser is also characterized by other third-party tasks, for example, the quick drying function. Its shape significantly helps to reduce the drying time of hair, while not allowing it to become overdried, due to the fact that hot air begins to dissipate. The device is useful when working with different types of hair: in the presence of wavy strands, it will help them to straighten, and give straight hair a curled shape.
It is regularly used to create volumetric hairstyles, as it perfectly contributes to the creation of volume even for owners of thin hair.
It is impossible to exclude the massage properties of the diffuser: it perfectly affects the blood circulation of the scalp, making movements in a circle when using it, which will undoubtedly affect the fact that more oxygen and various nutrients begin to flow to the bulbs.
As already mentioned, the appearance of the diffuser will completely depend on the type of hair and the desired effect after its use. Owners of long and thick hair, of course, it is recommended to use models with nozzles of large diameter and long spikes: it will turn out to act with a stream of hot air immediately on a large area of hair, which will lead to a more effective result. And for girls with curly curls and a short length of strands, it is better to use a diffuser with short spikes. Nozzles can be selected for almost any type of hair, especially today, when new and more modern models appear.
How to make hairstyles a diffuser
The diffuser is considered the best way to dry long curls, which take a lot of time to dry. Before you start using the diffuser directly, it is worth taking care of some details in advance so that the process is comfortable and effective.
- Before you start drying your hair, you should rid it of excess moisture with a towel, passing along the entire length and processing it with mousse.
- It is customary to use a diffuser, dividing the hair into strands, which will help to completely dry and style the hair. Long strands are placed in the entire diffuser, stacked alternately, and then you just need to control the process by smooth movements up and down with a small amplitude.
- It is best to start with strands that are on the back of the head, then from the temple area, and only then go to the upper part of the head; the final touch can be considered the transition to the fringe, of course, if there is one. When using a diffuser on very thick curls, it is recommended to dry your hair twice using a styling agent, so the effect will be more obvious.
- Such a nozzle on a hair dryer allows you to add volume and curl your hair. Depending on the length of the hair, they become more curly or slightly wavy, which can help in creating a large number of intricate hairstyles. At the end of the drying process, it is best to fix the result with the hairspray of the desired fixation, so it will last much longer. It is also very important to refrain from combing for some time, otherwise beautifully laid curls can lose their shape.
- Owners of short or medium length hair can do with fewer manipulations. In this case, drying the hair with the help of a nozzle is much easier: you can manage to manually give the hair the desired position and fix it with varnish or other styling products.
- In the presence of thin hair, it is undesirable to use the regime with high air temperature - this can harm the hair. Hold the hair dryer at approximately a 90-degree slope relative to the head and always lock the locks in the same direction.
