Using the diffuser
Diffuser is an attachment that diffuses the air. Instead of straight air ow,
you will get a rounded air ow with the diffuser. When it applies on
curly hair, it provides more curly denition, and keeps hair from frizzing.
1 Attach the diffuser to the hair dryer.
2 Apply styling product to your wet hair to ensure your curls stay in
place.
3 Turn the hair dryer to setting Ifor best results as this will enhance
the diffuser ability to minimize air ow and preserve your curls.
4 You could position the diffuser into the hair and push upward. If
you have longer hair, place the diffuser at the ends of your hair and
swivel your hair up into the diffuser as you move up towards your
roots. Once you have curled up a section, let it stay for 15 seconds
before the next section. This will help you set the style.
5 When you nish all sections, place the diffuser at the roots of your
hair and move it in circular motion. it will give the roots voluminizing
effect.
