What are diffuser hair dryers? Diffuser hair dryers are an attachment that attaches to the end of a hair dryer. Diffuser hair dryers are included in the box with the hair dryer as an attachment; however, diffuser hair dryers can be purchased separately.

What does diffuser hair dryers look like?

Diffuser hair dryers are made of plastic and they are shaped like a cone. There is a narrow part on the back of the diffuser and that is the part that connects to the hair dryer. The wide part of the diffuser has prongs that you comb through the hair as you blow dry it. The prong design is what helps to create waves or curls and lifts the hair to dry it.

Directions on how to use diffuser hair dryers

When you are through washing your hair, apply your favorite curling product to your hair. Make sure you scrunch it up really well with your fingers.*NOTE* Gels and curling products work well with diffuser hair dryers. After you have applied the gel or curling product place diffuser under your hair and lift in the upward motion and scrunch it against you head or in a curl position. *NOTE* Repeat this step until all of your hair is dry. If you want more curls and more volume, bend over and flip your hair, place diffuser at bottom and scrunch hair until dry. (This step can cause some crazy curls for your hair) Now, place the hair dryer on cool and use it like hairspray and this will keep your curls in tack.

How do diffuser hair dryers distribute heat?

A diffuser helps eliminate damage from heat to your hair. When using a normal hair dryer you are blowing a straight stream of hot air onto your hair which can cause frizzing and damage. When you attach a diffuser to your hair dryer you can evenly distribute the hot air all over and this helps to eliminate the frizzes. If you have curly hair a diffuser is known to help you avoid damaging your hair because curly hair is known to be drier than straight hair.
