How do I use a diffuser on my crazy curly hair?

Your hair is envy from us stick straight haired girls! If you know how to care for your hair type, you won't have this problem. Melina Kanakaredes is an example who has hair like yours and she's got beautiful wavy hair.

Shampoo. Condition. Towel dry, scrunch with gel like Samy, blow-dry using a diffuser briefly, toussle the hair, finger comb, shake your head & you're good to go. If you don't have a diffuser, use a blow heat dryer on low for 5 mins. or less.

When you wake up, instead of shampooing again, keep a bottled water filled with water/conditioner and spray on your hair. Scrunch, finger comb and you're good to go!

One method to make it look fuller, add body, bouncier, thicker, softer & shinier hair is to set your hair with plastic curlers after you towel dry, you'll end up with uniform balance of curls. Blow dry briefly while curling them in curlers. Take them out, and finger comb to style. Used by the best hair color models, and the fashion industry, like Victoria Secret Fashion Show Dec. 2009, America's Next Top Models, EXPRESS, Dancing with the Stars . . . . and continued to be used today where salons care about pampering your hair. When you see hair on TV a hair color commercial, they're not done by curling or straightening tools. Hair that shines like that and feels like hair, not hay, has to be done by the best hair tools available w/out damaging to the hair. When you take the curlers out, finger comb to style or lightly brush. Tousle the hair up. or shake your hair. You can use large, medium or small curlers, that depends on the length of your hair.

The hair industry is a billion dollar business, their aim is to make tons of profits, and they do not give money back guarantee for damaged hair or hair loss. Shampoo is meant to clean (Google it), and if they do other things like GROW or VOLUME, they're lying. It's all about marketing to attract more buyers.

I know hair. I have over 4 decades of hair know-how. I have silky, shiny, soft, smooth very healthy hair down to my knees. Previously damaged by perming & dyeing in the 90's. I've known people in their 30's whose hair stopped growing from ironing their hair in the 70's.

heey! Well I have never had that problem from a diffuser :/ maybe you just have big hair!

Do you blowdry upside down cos this will make your hair huge?

Do you use products on your hair. Generally if you want more volume you use less product, but if you want more clumps you use more. My advice would be to get a leave in conditioner and gel (I like boots purple gel that comes in a tub. is really cheap and gives good clumps!)

Also what diffuser are you using?

Here is a really good video on diffusing:

she talks a lot but is all very good info!

Look for a product that is to be used with a diffuser. I think there are products available. You should scrunch your hair while diffusing to bring out natural curls. Towel dry for awhile and use a spritzer in sections. You can twirl hair while drying too!
