Xtava Black Orchid Hair Diffuser - for Blow Dryers with 1.8 inch Diameter Nozzle

Product Information

Curly haired types are likely well aware of what a typical hair dryer can do to your strands. (We're talking uneven ringlets and frizz, to name a few.) Turns out the nozzle on your hair dryer could be the culprit. Though it works for those with naturally straighter hair, it won't come close to smoothing and shaping natural curls. That's why upgrading the traditional hair dryer nozzle to a quality hair diffuser is the hair helper you've been looking for — diffusing your curls can finally achieve the fullness and curl definition you've been dreaming of. Optional] When hair is 80-90% dry, stop diffusing and add some root clips to help with volume. Leave to air dry the rest of the way. For best results, only dry 80 to 90 percent of the way, then let it air dry to finish. The last thing you want to do is over-dry your strands and reduce the effectiveness of the moisturizing products you just applied (aka leave-in, styling cream and heat protectant). How We Chose the Best Diffusers for Curly Hair

Creating bounce, volume and curl definition when diffusing is all down to technique. By taking the hair, section by section, and gently lifting towards the scalp, you set the curls in place, which helps enhance curl definition and create bounce. Volume comes from the small amount of 'functional frizz' that the air from the diffuser creates as it gently dries the hair. Whether you’re looking to upgrade your hair dryer and diffuser, or you’ve never owned a hair dryer before but might like to try diffusing. My first advice is to start with a good hair dryer. Most of the time, the diffuser that comes with it is no good. So here’s what to look for when you’re purchasing a hair dryer to give you a smooth, shiny and frizz-free finish. Less Frizz: Without this large hair diffuser, I would use my fingers to separate and lift my curls for drying. The result was more frizz! Ugh.

Hair Diffuser Conclusion

The Dyson diffuser only works on the Dyson hairdryer, and the other diffusers can’t be used on the Dyson. So, I did have to use a different hairdryer when testing the Dyson diffuser vs the others. Five Hair Diffusers Tested On Wavy Hair Conair Volumizing Diffuser Review

Here's a step by step guide on how to dry curly hair with a diffuser. I always use the 'Pixie Diffusing' technique, which means turning the hairdryer off between sections - more info on that below. Clearly smart design matters. Especially if the idea with any diffuser is to get gentle, warm air flow yet not disrupt your curl pattern. Lightweight– because diffusing can take a while, and is often done at different and sometimes awkward angles. Look for hair dryer that’s easy to hold and lightweight. If you’ve been around my blog much at all, you likely know that I am all about diffusing. My hair holds onto water for hours if I try to air dry. I get much better results from diffusing, and it keeps me from waiting around all day on my hair to dry!Top Tip: Take your time! The longer you can wait before glueing each magnet down, the better and easier it will be! Based on the unique way it attaches, I was initially the most curious about this diffuser. Unfortunately, it wound up being not so great in practice. While it did fit my hairdryer in the sense that it did close around my hairdryer and stay on, it was really loose. It could be wiggled from side to side while on my dryer. The only slight downside I found with this diffuser is the skinny prongs are the longest piece on the diffuser, so if you move around some of your curl clumps can slip out of the diffuser. Overall, found this to be a nice diffuser for the price!
