A modern girl always needs to keep up with fashion trends, so the subtleties of styling her hair with a diffuser will help her to remain herself and create a variety of fashionable looks.
About the diffuser
The diffuser is a round hair dryer attachment that is used to create beautiful curls and lush strands. The diffuser has the popular round shape, on which there are spikes and holes, their shape and size depends entirely on the hair type of the wearer. The diffuser works according to a fairly simple principle: it lets hot air through its holes, and thanks to the spikes, the strands are fixed in the desired position. The diffuser also has other external tasks, such as the fast drying function. Its shape significantly helps to shorten the drying time of the hair, while preventing it from becoming dry, due to the fact that the 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 straighten, and will give straight hair a curled shape.
It is regularly used to create voluminous hairstyles, as it perfectly contributes to the creation of volume even with thin hair.

The massage properties of the diffuser cannot be ruled out: it has an excellent effect on 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 will begin to flow to the bulbs.
As mentioned, the appearance of the diffuser will depend entirely on the type of hair and the desired effect after use. Owners of long and thick hair, of course, are advised to use models with large-diameter attachments and long spikes: this way it will be possible 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 locks and short lengths of strands, it would be better to use a diffuser with short spikes. Attachments can be matched to almost any type of hair, especially today, when new and more modern models appear.

How to do hairstyles with a diffuser
A diffuser is considered the best way to dry long curls that take a long time to dry. Before proceeding directly with the use of the diffuser, it is worth taking care of some details in advance so that the process is comfortable and efficient.
- Before you start drying your hair, you should rid it of excess moisture with a towel, going along the entire length and treating it with mousse.
- It is customary to use a diffuser, dividing the hair into strands, which will help completely dry and style the hair. Long strands are placed in the diffuser as a whole, stacked alternately, and then you just need to control the process with smooth movements up and down with a small amplitude.
- It is best to start with the strands that are on the back of the head, then from the temple area, and only then go to the top of the head; the final touch can be considered the transition to bangs, of course, if available. When using the diffuser on very thick curls, it is recommended that you dry your hair twice with a styling product, so the effect will be more evident.
- This hair dryer attachment allows you to add volume and curl your hair. Depending on the length of the hair, it becomes more frizzy or slightly wavy, which can help create a lot of intricate hairstyles. At the end of the drying process, it is best to fix the result obtained with hairspray of the desired fixation, so it will last much longer. It is also very important to refrain from combing for a while, otherwise beautifully styled curls may lose their shape.
- Owners of short or medium hair can do with less manipulation. In this case, it is much easier to dry your hair with a nozzle: you can do without manually giving the hair the desired position and fixing it with hairspray or other styling product.
- If you have thin hair, it is undesirable to use a mode with a high air temperature - this can harm your hair. Hold the hair dryer at a roughly 90-degree angle to your head and keep the curls in the same direction at all times.

Long curls
Beautiful, long and well-curled curls are a challenge that a diffuser can handle. In order for the result to be as good as possible, it is worth preparing the hair, having previously treated it with a fixing compound, and then proceed to styling. The recommendations will be as follows:
- as we have said more than once, first you need to divide the strands into zones;
- further, before drying, you need to wrap each strand in a tight bundle and place it in a diffuser, distributing it over the spikes;
- when laying, you should make circular movements in the same direction for each strand;
- it is very important - you should not separate the bundles from the strands immediately after they are laid, they should cool down after drying and finally form into the desired hairstyle;
- after shaping the hairstyle, you can dissolve the bundles and slightly correct the strands by hand, you should not use a comb;
- the last step will be to give the desired shape with your hands and, of course, fix the hairstyle with hairspray of the desired fixation - in this case, the hairstyle will last long enough.
