..and bought a hairdryer with a diffuser...
I can't remember the last time I owned a proper full size hair dryer...I do remember that one Christmas morning while drying just my fringe it exploded on me though!
All I have had since then is a travel dryer just for drying the fringe so it doesn't kink all over the place.
So...I never ever did get on with diffusers so have you any tips or good videos to share on how to use them to best effect?
All i bought it for is to dry off 'some' of the wetness out of my hair for when I go out. British summertime begins next week and there's been heavy snow across a lot of the UK today so winter is still upon us and isn't showing signs of leaving any time soon.
I intend to use the lowest heat and speed settings (there's three heat settings and a cold shot and three speed settings on the dryer I bought).
I was shown by a hair dresser years ago to just plonk my hair on the diffuser and kind of circle it around a bit.
Sorry if this sounds like a silly question...and I should probably know how to use one of these things by now but I've never had much success with them and what I don't want to do is wreck the curls once they have started to form when my hair is sopping wet.
Also, in case it makes any difference I do use a small amount of leave in conditioner and then put curl creme on, scrunch and give it a few little sprays of glycerin & rosewater and scrunch again (which my hair seems to love at the moment) I do scrunch now and then while it's air drying and this hasn't yet created any frizz as I seem to have beaten the frizz! Yay!
I am aware the frizz may come back to an extent though with using a dryer..
But any advice or help would be appreciated as i feel like a novice using this new fangled gadget! :)
