Styling:: Curly hair... how to use a diffuser and care for your curly hair.

Step 2.) Before rinsing, detangle curly hair by running a wide-tooth comb through it. Then rinse with cool water to smooth and close the hair cuticle.

Step 3.) Squeeze out extra moisture with a towel. Be sure not to rub, as this will cause your curls to frizz. Apply a leave in conditioner.

Step 4.) Air-drying is best for curly hair, but if you blow-dry, use a diffuser attachment. Let curls separate naturally. If you want more volume, pick up pieces with your fingers at the roots and dry. Use your hands to scrunch the curls.

Step 5.) When hair's almost dry, apply a shine booster or pomade to smooth and shine.

Tips & Tricks to controlling curly hair:

Always use a conditioner with a detangling agent curly hair

Try not to over-wash your curly hair. Skip washing every day and just rinse on off days

Look for a gel that contains guar gum, an ingredient that gives more control over styling and banishes frizzies

Always use a diffuser

Never dry your curly hair completely. Instead, leave it slightly damp and let it finish air-drying on its own

A reconstructive perm can sometimes tame your wild curls. They break down the bond in your hair and reform a new curl to the desired style. Ask your Stylist about these.

If curls are loose and or flat in one area, you may want to get a layered hair cut to boost them up

To diminish frizzies, do a final rinse with cool water to smooth the hair cuticle

If your hair is over curly, keep layers long so curls don't spring out of control.

Avoid products with alcohol that dry out the hair and make it frizzier.

To add shine and depth to your curls, try a light highlight with thin stands

To get those separated curls, wash hair, towel dry. Apply mousse and here's the trick: spritz hair with a non-aerosol hairspray all over. Comb through and dry with a diffuser.

Avoid bangs. They tend to frame your face too much with curly hair.

How to care for your curly hair:

Step 1.) If you have curly hair, you know it breaks and tangles easily. Deep conditioning every other week will help. Try using a low PH shampoo and protein-rich conditioner. (Daily shampooing can trigger dryness, so it's best to wash curly hair every other day.) Concentrate conditioner on ends, which are the most dry. Avoid applying conditioner at the roots. This can weight curly hair down. The natural oils in your scalp will take care of the root area.

How do I use a Diffuser to blow-dry my hair? Place the diffuser nozzle on the end on the dryer. Set the heat to cool or warm. For volume at the roots, flip head upside down and place the teeth of the diffuser directly into the root are. Use the teeth to lift the root. Move the diffuser around the head. For a hair diffuser to work correctly, you must stay close to the hair since the air flow is restricted. Lift the ends of the hair with the diffuser, almost as if you were using your fingers to scrunch the hair. Dry hair about 80% of the way.

Hair Dryer Diffuser Attachments

Most blow-dryers come with a diffuser attachment, a plastic attachment that fits on the end of the dryer. A Blow dryer diffuser dries hair in a healthier manor that diffuses or spreads out air flow from the hair dryer.

What a Diffuser can do for your hair: Diffusers are extremely useful for minimizing heat damage from blow dryers by distributing the harsh dryer heat more evenly throughout your hair. The air flow is lessoned by the diffuser, which takes hair longer to dry. But for those who have curls, the diffuser can be your best friend. The hair diffuser creates great volume for curly hair along with keeping your curls intact.
