In order to make a good styling, you need a good hairdryer. However, this conventional appliance is completely insufficient to make the hairstyle perfect. This requires at least one additional nozzle that can work wonders. The hair diffuser was originally invented for styling strands subjected to perm. Now it is used with equal success for light curling curls, creating various styling and very original hairstyles. It is either a separate device with a special wide nozzle or just a nozzle on a regular hair dryer. It should immediately be said that it is better to purchase a nozzle, since the devices are not functional and their purchase does not justify itself.
On the nozzle there are many plastic “fingers” with miniature holes. After styling, with its help, the hair is very well fixed and holds its shape for a long time. A stream of warm air passes directly to the roots of the hair through the holes in the “fingers”, easily raising them, which adds volume to the hairstyle.
The hair diffuser has a number of advantages over an ordinary hair dryer. Perhaps the most important thing is that it is safe for hair. He dries his hair in a gentle mode, since the hot air first passes through the plastic "fingers". Thus, it acts on the hair, having already lost a little initially high temperature. In addition, due to the shape of the nozzle, air is directed to the root zones of the hair, and not to the scalp, which protects it from the risk of burns. However, the device, of course, has a thermal effect on the hair, so you do not need to abuse it. It is better to use a hair diffuser periodically, choosing low temperatures for drying and using protective equipment when styling.
Features of the effect of the diffuser on the hair provide giving them a special volume, which is impossible to achieve with a conventional hair dryer. The use of this nozzle also significantly reduces the drying time of the hair by covering a larger surface area than with a direct stream of a simple hair dryer.
As already mentioned, the hair diffuser has special “fingers”, which in many models are also moving. Therefore, a styling session is almost equivalent to a massage session. This effect on the scalp enhances the flow to the roots of the blood, bringing nutrients, which contributes to their strengthening and recovery. But if you have long hair and you want the hair styling with a diffuser to be accompanied by the creation of curly curls, then for this you should choose a nozzle with fixed “fingers”, because otherwise you won’t be able to create curls.
Whatever type of styling you choose, remember that you need to do it only on wet hair and after completion you no longer need to comb your hair, so as not to spoil the effect.
How to choose a diffuser? First of all, you need to pay attention to the "fingers" of the nozzle. Hollows are designed to create volume; short - for styling curly, not very long hair; smooth - for long and thick hair. A wider brush is better for short hair. If you want to achieve the effect of straightening long hair, you need to choose a nozzle with combing properties. Diffusers VALERA, Ermila, Parlux A Doccia, Babyliss and others are popular in our market.
How to make a good styling using a diffuser? The hairstyle will be perfect if you do it on freshly washed wet hair. First they need to be treated with styling agent (foam, spray, milk, gel) along the entire length. Then divide the hair into two parts. Begin laying from the bottom. Take individual strands and in turn lay them on the nozzle, then attach the hair dryer to the roots of the hair and start drying. During styling, easily massage your head by tilting it to the sides to achieve greater volume. With a free hand, ruffle the strands, lift them at the base, separate with your fingers into separate curls.
When styling, hold the hair diffuser at a right angle to the head, individual curls should also be in a plane perpendicular to the device. It is best to direct the hairdryer from the bottom up. After laying, fix it with varnish.
