I know there are collapsible diffusers, which are great for travel. But the air flow is too strong, the metal gets too hot and there’s no depth to the bowl or prongs for root lift and volume – so it’s a no from me. Long cord– especially important if you have wavy or curly hair with all the moving about we do when diffusing!

But it’s better to have multiple setting options available. Here's a step by step guide on how to dry curly hair with a diffuser. I always use the 'Pixie Diffusing' technique, which means turning the hairdryer off between sections - more info on that below. This is a question that we get a lot here at xtava, and it’s one that we’re happy to answer. We believe that our hair dryers are some of the best on the market, and we’re proud to stand behind our products. The hand design can make it hard to dry the lengths of the hair because hair can fall through the gaps. To combat this, you could either use a different diffuser for your lengths or take a leaf out of Spisha's book and only dry your roots. So I’m going to get one of those, try that out for a few weeks and let you know how I get on. Have you heard of the Snozzlepro? If you’re in UK, it’s available at Naturalistic Products here.

Less Frizz: Without this large hair diffuser, I would use my fingers to separate and lift my curls for drying. The result was more frizz! Ugh. Optional] When hair is 80-90% dry, stop diffusing and add some root clips to help with volume.

If you already have a diffuser attachment (ie. the one that came with your hairdryer) don't feel like you have to spend lots of money on a new one - I used the standard diffuser attachment that came with my Vidal Sassoon hairdryer for a good couple of years before branching out.

A diffuser is a bowl-looking attachment you add to the end of your dryer to help evenly distribute the airflow to assist in frizz-free final results. It goes without saying you’ll want to measure the your dryer’s nozzle diameter so you get the right size. The end measuring an inch and half should be good for the diffuser. There are quite a lot of hair dryers with that 1.8inch barrel size. So if you are in the market for a hair dryer and a diffuser both, this shouldn’t be too big of a problem. However, if you already own a hair dryer and are looking for a diffuser to fit, it may or may not work. Simply measure the width of the end of your hair dryer’s barel to see if it will work.

After all, we curly girls aren’t using all the curling irons, flat irons and accessories. Why not invest in a diffuser that gives you better curls? There are TONS of questions and answers related to this diffuser and “will it fit my blowdryer?” The problem is that there were a lot of conflicting answers. I had two people directly tell me that yes it would work if I removed the inner ring (more on that later), but even that didn’t fix it. The good news is?
