How to Diffuse Your Curls Without Creating Frizz

Achieving perfectly defined curls without the dreaded frizz often feels like the holy grail for those with curly hair. One game-changing tool in the pursuit of this ideal is the hair diffuser. However, using it correctly is crucial to harness its true potential. Here's how to diffuse curly hair the right way to keep frizz at bay.

Start with well-moisturized, damp hair. Before reaching for the diffuser, apply a curl cream or anti-frizz serum, ensuring even distribution. These products not only provide a protective layer against heat but also help in defining and locking in your curl pattern. Remember, overly wet hair can prolong the drying process, so remove excess moisture using a microfiber towel or an old t-shirt to gently 'scrunch' your hair.

When diffusing, always begin on the lowest heat setting and the slowest speed. This minimizes potential heat damage and reduces frizz. Hold the diffuser at a 90-degree angle to your scalp, gently pushing it upwards, allowing your curls to sit in the bowl of the diffuser. Move in a circular motion around your head, focusing on one section at a time.

Lastly, patience is key. For best results, avoid touching or scrunching your hair too much during the process. Once your curls are 90% dry, you can let them air dry for the final touch. Following these steps will ensure bouncy, frizz-free curls that are the envy of many!
