If you have curly or wavy hair,Diffusers for Hair dryers Articles you could really benefit from a diffuser attachment. What is a diffuser though? It’s a cone-like attachment made of plastic that can be fastened to the end of your hair dryer and has the ability to channel the airflow onto the surface of your hair. The end section of a diffuser is circular and wide, featuring prongs that are very useful when blow drying curly hair, because they lift the strands while directing airflow onto them, giving curls and waves more shape.

With a diffuser attachment you can evenly distribute heat over your hair and keep your curls or waves defined and lush without any frizz. Diffusers usually arrive with the purchase of a hair dryer but you can find them separately as well. There are many benefits of owning a diffuser attachment, for example you can greatly minimize damage with the safe heat distribution a diffuser offers, as it lets the hot air flow indirectly over your locks. With a conventional hair dryer you would just receive the full hot blast of air which produces a mess of frizz and damaged strands. With a diffuser you can safely work with the natural texture of your hair, keeping it healthy at the same time.

Using a diffuser is pretty straightforward. Wash and condition your hair as normal, then apply some curling product to it, using scrunching motions to work it in all the way. You can also use a curling mousse, cream or serum if you have some handy, these work well with a diffuser when aspiring for well defined curls and sexy waves. Attach the diffuser to the nozzle of your hair dryer and direct the airflow beneath a small section of hair. Once the locks are grabbed by the prongs, lift the hair dryer until the hair is held against your scalp in a curled position and keep it there as you dry. Repeat this motion with all the sections until your hair is completely dry, then use the cool shot button to add shine and finish the style.

Let’s also have a look at the types of diffuser available:

·         Curly Top Diffuser: with the appearance of a small, prong-free portable fan on a long chord.

·         DevaFuser: a diffuser from Deva curl, shaped a lot like a hand and releasing 360 degrees of hot air.

·         Hot Sock Ultralight Diffuser: named the Hot Sock because of its sock like form, this diffuser is made of foam and can be fastened to any hair dryer.
