I. Why use a diffuser on curly hair?

Preserve the natural shape of curls

The diffuser will allow you to dry your hair while respecting the nature of the curl , it will be gentle and not aggressive. Unlike a classic hair dryer which distributes the heat evenly. Thanks to its specific design, the diffuser supports the curls during drying, helping them to keep their definition and natural bounce.

Reduce frizz

The diffuser reduces frizz by avoiding excessive blowing and minimizing friction, it reduces static electricity and keeps the hair cuticle smooth. The result is neater, shinier curls.

Get more volume without damaging the hair

To add volume to the roots, a diffuser is ideal. It will reduce the intensity of heat directed at the hair. By positioning the diffuser close to the scalp and lifting the strands, you promote natural fullness while protecting the hair fiber. Unlike heated brushes or straighteners, a diffuser can boost volume without compromising the health of your hair.

II. Prepare your hair before drying

Wash with a mild shampoo (highlight our products)

It is essential to properly prepare your hair by starting with a Moisturizing Shampoo or Nourishing Shampoo . A healthy scalp and well-cleaned lengths form the ideal base for successful drying. After washing, apply our 10-in-1 Multiprotect Spray to damp hair: it moisturizes, detangles, protects from heat, fights frizz and makes styling easier. This multifunctional step effectively prepares your hair while giving it softness, shine and definition before using the diffuser.

Apply a leave-in treatment or styling cream

After shampooing, apply your hair milk or leave-in to deeply moisturize your hair. These treatments make styling easier, reduce frizz, and enhance your hair's natural texture, whether straight, wavy, or curly. Our formulas, enriched with moisturizing and protective agents, coat the hair fiber without weighing it down, while providing natural hold and a soft, silky finish.

Gentle detangling with fingers or a wide-toothed comb

Detangling is a delicate step that requires gentleness and care to prevent breakage. It is performed on damp hair using your fingers or a wide-toothed comb. Always start at the ends and gradually work your way up to the roots. This step not only helps reduce tangles but also distributes the applied care evenly. Incorporate this into your daily routine or adapt it to suit your hair type.

Apply a heat protectant

It is essential to apply the 10-in-1 Multiprotect For My Curls Spray , which acts as a heat-protective barrier around the hair fiber. Designed to suit all hair types, this multifunctional treatment is distinguished by its light, non-greasy formula enriched with aloe vera, flax, soy, and rapeseed extracts. These natural active ingredients provide shine, softness, and strength to the hair, even with frequent styling.

III. Steps to Properly Use a Diffuser

Temperature and speed adjustment

Before you start drying your hair with a diffuser, you need to set the temperature and speed . Medium to warm heat combined with low speed allows for gentle drying without damaging the hair fiber. The ionic hair dryer will make styling easier.

Do not touch hair while drying

To preserve the natural shape of your curls and waves, avoid touching your hair while using the diffuser. This also helps reduce frizz and achieve a cleaner, more defined result.

Dry in sections for an even result

For even drying, separate your hair into sections. Drying section by section gives you more defined curls, controlled volume, and even texture throughout your hair.

V. Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using too much heat

Too much heat can damage your hair, making it brittle and extremely dry. It also promotes frizz and makes hair look dull. To keep your hair healthy, always use gentle heat, especially if your hair is fine, fragile, or naturally curly.

Overhandling hair while drying

Avoid touching or brushing your hair while drying. Handling wet strands can damage the natural curl pattern, cause static electricity, and increase frizz.

Forget about thermal protection

Do not use a heat protectant before using a hair dryer, straightener, or curling iron can damage your hair. Direct heat weakens the fiber, dries out the hair, and makes it brittle. Applying a heat protectant creates a barrier that locks in moisture, protects the hair, and makes styling easier.
