No romantic image can do without beautiful curly hair. To create such a playful hairstyle, curls, a curling iron or popular today, and the most convenient - a diffuser for hair.

Almost every hairdryer has such a nozzle in the set and many do not use it for styling at all, since they simply do not know how to use a diffuser for hair to create a beautiful hairstyle. However, there is nothing easier to create soft and voluminous curls quickly and practical without harm to your hair. Learning to lay your hair with a diffuser is no worse than in a hairdresser is very simple.

Many professional hairdressers and stylists advise using this particular way to lay hair with a diffuser at home, since it spares the hair much more, the curls make it naturally soft, and takes much less time. The thing is that a hair dryer with a diffuser covers a larger hair volume than when laying a curling iron one strand. Bigudi today is almost not used, since such styling takes several hours.

Diffusor nozzle and its types

The nozzle of the diffuser is a round part of a wide diameter, a narrower part of which is put on a hairdryer, and there are holes near the base of the “fingers” through which the air flow directly for hair styling with a diffuser (photo) comes. The very shape of the nozzle can be convex, even or concave. The amount, length and material of the execution (plastic or silicone) of the spikes can also be different.

The “fingers” of the diffuser can be plastic and cast with a nozzle case or individual silicone parts. Plastic spikes are easier to get out of the nozzle, so they are more suitable for drying hair with a diffuser longer than medium. The convexity or drowning of the base allow you to expand or concentrate hot air.

The length of the spikes is directly proportional to the length of the hair and their total volume. Referring to reviews about the diffuser for hair, we can say that if the hair is sparse or not too long, it is more convenient to handle the nozzle with short “fingers”. Long plastic spikes are also used for delicate straightening of strands, since the air flow is wider and not burning hair.

The frequency of spikes also depends on the density, so before buying a hair diffuser, make sure that the nozzle will pass without entangled through your hair volume. For thin hair, you should choose a nozzle with rare plastic spikes so as not to damage the hair structure. The diffuser device can be bought as a separate product or as a part in the diameter of the hairdryer.

Very short hair is recommended to be laid with a large diameter diffuser, which repeats the shape of the head. To straighten long hair, choose a nozzle with large spikes or with moving (spikes on springs) and combing effect. To give an effective volume, use a special nozzle of the VOLUME EFFECT diffuser and a professional hair dryer.
