How to Use Hair Dryer Diffuser?
The diffuser is very gentle on your hair. It distributes the heat without being aggressive, which is perfect for drying fine, coloured, permed or naturally curly hair.
Dry your hair using a hair dryer with a diffuser:
- Dry your hair beginning at the roots and using circular motions, always moving in the same direction. Use the diffuser with the hair dryer set at speed 1 only.
- Continue drying, keeping the hair dryer at a 90-degree angle from scalp. This will lift the roots away from the scalp giving your hair volume.
- Finish by drying the ends.
To set your hair style and achieve a ‘long-lasting’ effect, finish by blowing a ‘cool shot’ through your hair.
Add volume to your hair using a hair dryer with a diffuser:
- To add volume to your hair, dry it upside down so that the roots fall away from your scalp. Use the diffuser with the hair dryer set at speed 1 only.
- Point the hair dryer at the roots to give your hair maximum volume.
- Continue the process to the ends of your hair.
When your hair is dry, throw your hair back and brush to shape. To set the style and achieve a ‘long-lasting’ effect, finish by blowing a ‘cool shot’ through your hair.
Using a hair dryer with a concentrator:
The concentrator directs the airflow precisely, it is especially recommended for smoothing and shaping your hair. It is also used to produce more volume from the roots.
- Pre-dry your hair with the hairdryer on the highest heat setting. For drying, separate your hair into 5-cm wide sections. Place a large round brush at the root of one of the sections.
- Point the hair dryer with the concentrator at a 90-degree angle to the section and run the brush under it, beginning at the roots and working down to the tips. Your hair dryer should now be set at medium. Repeat the process several times to dry the section completely before moving on to the next section.
- Finish by turning the ends under.
To set the hair style and achieve a ‘long-lasting’ effect, finish by blowing a ‘cool shot’ through your hair.

I'm still confused about the whole "circular motion" conpept.Wouldn't that tangle your hair?

Actually, I have mildly wavy hair, and I put a little bit of mousse, and a little bit of gel. It turned out much much nicer than I ever could have expected. This was an awesome tip and not only that, if you have the right base for styling, it really does work quite well!

the diffuser concept is stupid. if it really works only for curly hair so the hair dryer wont make it look like a giant puffy cloud, why cant we leave our hair dry naturally and be done with it?

If my hair is just slightly wavy, will the diffuser still work? My hair only turns straight when i brush it with a wire brush.

When diffusing you hair, I found out that it helps if you bunch up some and then press it against your scalp and then do the circular motions

for whoever asked "cool shot" is a button you can push where it quickly shoots out cold air. this closes the hair folicle reducing frizz and seting your style

the spiky things on the diffuser are just there to help seperate and shape the curl

Does it not work on really long hair? I have thick hair down to my waist and has a slight wave to it. I tried this and even added a product in my hair before I tried it. It just looked like I blow dried it normally which makes me frizz.

To avoid "looking like a poodle", use a little bit of curl defining mousse and extra hold gel. I use L'OREAL Studio Upward Spiral Springing Curls mousse and L'OREAL Studio Head Lock Mega Gel.
