If you have curly hair and are looking for a way to style it, then using a blow dryer diffuser is the best thing for you! Blow dryer diffusers come in many shapes and sizes. There are round ones that look like traditional hairdryers, but they’re also square-shaped models with an attachment on top that disperses air into your curls. This blog post will help answer your questions about what does a blow dryer diffuser does?
This is where the magic happens! Blow drier diffusers have a small opening at the end of them to let out hot air which creates more volume for those curly hairstyles you’ve been dying to try! Letting out this warm air allows heat from the blow drying process to penetrate deep inside each strand of hair so they become healthier and shinier too.
What is a diffuser, and how does it work?
Hair diffuser works by dispersing hot air in the form of small, gentle bubbles that break up and merge with hair. This process diffuses heat more evenly across each strand of your hair so it dries faster without damaging or breaking them!
What setting should my diffuser be on?
The way you use a blow dryer diffuser is to set your blow dryer on medium-high speed and hold the diffuser about six inches away from your scalp before starting at one side. Slowly move down towards the other end until you’ve covered all of your head (the key is not to go too quickly). You can also brush out some strands as they are drying for added volume. To get rid of pesky frizzies, diffuse an inch section at a time then lightly run fingers.
How to use a hair diffuser on every type of hair
Below, we’ve compiled a list of ways that might work best for your hair type:
Some people find it easiest to start at the back and diffuse upwards. This will create volume on top where they would like it most
Diffusing in sections can be helpful if you have tangles or knots and don’t want to pull too hard through them with your fingers
If you’re short on time but still need some volume, try holding the dryer about six inches away from your head while running an attachment down each section of hair before moving onto another one
For extra lift at the roots, run a little wave-maker attachment down strands as desired. Some attachments help promote shinier locks!

Holding the product at six inches from your head will likely help lock out some static electricity while giving short strands more shine without ruffling them as much. If you need major volume or lengthier locks that are typically difficult for other tools, try holding it about two feet
