How to use a diffuser on wavy hair

Mesmerising. Alluring. Wild. There are a hundred different ways to describe wavy hair. Natural beachy waves are stunning and guaranteed to make heads turn wherever you go. But is your wavy hair looking less beachy and lovely and more frizzy and dry? Chances are that you need to switch up your hair-drying technique. We suggest diffusing your hair to achieve those natural-looking stunning waves. So, how do you use a diffuser on wavy hair? We give all the details below.

How to use a diffuser on wavy hair: step by step 

If you are new to the world of diffusing, figuring out the right way to use a diffuser can be a bit daunting. However, fret not. We are here to the rescue! Follow our step-by-step guide and get pretty bouncy waves in a trice. 

  • Prep your hair. Prepping your waves before you diffuse is of the utmost importance. Start by using a curl-enhancing cream or serum to bring out the definition of your waves. Also, never forget to use a heat protectant to protect your hair from heat damage.

  • Sectioning is the key. Nothing looks worse than hair that is styled unevenly. To ensure that your waves are diffused evenly, make sure to section your hair. It is highly important if you have long wavy hair. Grab a section of your waves and pin it up with a hair claw and you are good to go.

  • Diffuse it. The next step is obviously to start diffusing your hair. Select the right temperature and heat setting for your waves. Cup each section of your hair into the diffuser bowl and turn it on. Remember to keep moving your head around and work with one section at a time. Spend a few seconds on each section before moving on to the next. Also, only diffuse in the direction of your natural wave pattern so as not to disrupt it.

  • Finish the right way. After, you are done diffusing, always remember to finish with using a shine oil for that enviable glossy look.

How to use a diffuser: extra tips to try

Now that you know the basics of diffusing, are there any hacks that you can use to elevate your waves even further? Yes, there are! Today we bring you all the best tips that you can try while diffusing your hair to add extra bounce and volume to your hair. 

  • Turn your head upside down. One of the easiest ways to achieve that extra dash of volume and definition to your waves is to turn your head upside down while diffusing. By doing this, you are diffusing in the direction of your hair cuticle. This will help add volume and definition to your hair. This technique also helps you reach those pesky hard-to-reach spots at the back of your neck and helps you dry your waves evenly.

  • Remember to use the right settings. Using the wrong heat setting while diffusing can wreak havoc on your waves and make them brittle and frizzy. Hence, be very careful while choosing the heat settings while drying your hair, Start by using a low temperature and low-speed setting at first. You can then turn up the heat after a while but make sure the speed is still low. You can finish off by blasting a shot of cool air.

  • Don’t ever diffuse straight into your curls. Diffusing straight into your curls is a cardinal mistake that you should avoid making at all costs. Not only does this make drying extremely time-consuming but can also completely destroy your natural wave pattern.

  • Superior Curls Booster system. The design of a diffuser is the key to its performance, hence choosing one with an innovative design is crucial.

The result? Soft, supple waves that won’t be out of place in a fashion magazine.

  • Malleable digital heat control. We have already emphasised the importance of using the right temperature and speed setting on your waves above. Hence, a good diffuser should come with a malleable digital heat control and the Diffon Supreme features just that. Its high-quality digital heat control comes with 3 temperature and 2-speed settings to give you customized drying.
