We have all used a hair dryer in our lifetime. A
diffuser is a bit different or should we say VERY different! WOC are known to
have curly, wavy and many a times kinky hair. Let’s accept the fact shrinkage
is the biggest enemy women with curly and kinky hair suffer. So, why is a
diffuser better than a hair dryer for curly hair. A diffuser helps you to dry
your hair, make sure you have more volume and also help you reach office on time.
-
MORE VOLUME
A
diffuser makes sure you have better volume and curls as well. It helps to keep
your curls intact and eliminate frizz. It keeps your curl pattern intact and
also who wants to step out with a head of hair dripping wet in the winter
months.
-
MINIMAL HEAT DAMAGE
Curly
hair is famous for being susceptible to damage. Heat styling tools like a hair
dryer makes it worse. The principal difference is that GHD hair dryer
diffuser distributes the air over a larger area, as compared to a
traditional hair dryer, which focusses on smaller sections. A diffuser also is
gentler and uses warm air not hot.
-
NOT THE SAME
Not all
diffusers are the same. Use diffusers which make sure your hair is dried rather
than destroyed. The thickness of your hair is to be considered while using a
diffuser and the power of the diffuser. The hand shaped diffuser changed the
diffuser game completely. A diffuser should be able to glide through your
roots, not be stuck and be sure that you also keep in mind you need the cold
shot button.
-
LOW TEMPERATURES
Your hair
needs low temperatures. Saving it from frizz this is how it can be done. But
before you begin, make sure you have detangled all your hair using the GHD wide tooth combhelps
when you are using the diffuser. Let your hair air dry for up to 60% then use
the diffuser because in absolutely wet hair, a diffuser will cause more frizz.
-
DIFFUSE DAILY, YAASS!
You can
always diffuse daily, but make sure your temperature is low. Cool or warm
temperatures are fine, never too hot. And you can always use heat protectant if
the need arises.
-
KNOW YOUR CURL PATTERN
With
several different curl patterns, knowing what sort of diffuser routine suits
you is absolutely important. Tighter curl patterns need to be more careful as
to how they use the diffuser. They should never take it close to their scalp,
that causes more shrinkage than usual.
-
HAIRSPRAY
Hairspray
albeit known to be rather bad, actually is a great option for people who need
to retain their curl pattern or want a longer curl wear. You can always use a
small amount on your hair before you start your drying process. It helps to
define the curls much better.
-
TOO MUCH TOUCHING IS A NO
Wrong
diffusing and too much of fiddling with your hair can cause you to have your hair
to be frizzy. Touching your hair frequently causes it to break the curl
patterns. Always do the SOTC (Scrunch Out The Crunch) when your hair is
completely dry. That helps to open up your hair.
So, go
ahead and decide upon the diffuser you like but we recommend the GHD air
diffuser for your hair. You can use it as you like, and it is pocket
friendly as well. GHD is known to make some of the best hair styling tools in
the industry and owning one at this price is such a great addition to your hair
routine. Curls are difficult yet gorgeous to have, so why not give them the
respect they deserve. Be kind to yourself, keep discovering!
