One of the key methods for achieving defined, bouncy curls is diffusing. However, mastering the art of diffusing can be tricky. In this guide, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process to effectively diffuse your curly hair, unlocking its full potential.

Diffusing : A Step by Step Guide

1. Start by washing your hair with the Curl Cleanser and Curl Conditioner designed specifically for curly hair.

2. Once out of the shower, apply the styling products, then gently squeeze excess water from your hair by scrunch drying with our Microfibre Towel or an old t-shirt. Avoid rubbing, as this can cause frizz.

3. After applying your styling products, shield your hair with our Heat Protect Spray. This product is rich in protein to repair and add extra bounce to your curls!

4. Start by hover diffusing - simply hover the diffuser over your curls to set the gel cast and reduce frizz.

5. Gently place your hair into the diffuser bowl and lift upwards towards the roots. Hold that section still whilst it dries and then move around your head in sections. Don't be rough. Keeping the diffuser still will dry your hair without causing frizz.

6. Enjoy frizz-free voluminous curls!

We love diffusing as taking off the water weight sooner can result in bouncier curls. Air drying, whilst low maintenance, can take a long time, and drag your curls down in the process.

Worried about heat damage? Diffusers disperse the air flow over a wider area which means the heat is not as concentrated on the hair. You can also control the heat with most diffusers so you can use a low heat setting to protect your curls further.

Try diffusing after using all the products in our Starter Bundle to get amazing frizz-free curls or waves. You'll love the results!
