Answers

A hairdryer with a concentrator/targeting nozzle is a must, as without it, you could easily destroy the style that you are trying to create. Make sure it has a fast and a slow speed, and can blast cold air. Styling on a hot setting helps give shine to your hair, while cold air helps to set the styling product and prevent static. When using dryers, make sure you keep either your dryer or hair moving at all times. Overheating your hair happens easily and can damage it.

Using a hairdryer with a diffuser nozzle is a gentler way to dry your hair. Especially good on curly hair, its key benefits are giving volume and helping to keep your style. But it does take a bit longer to dry. You can also dry curly hair effectively with a normal hairdryer. Use a low heat and power settings. With your hand in front of the nozzle, place the dryer below your hair so the air blows upwards through your fingers. Lift the curls gently while you dry.
