How to Diffuse Wavy Hair
Diffusing your tresses is a popular drying method when you have curly hair. It has several benefits if you can complete the process successfully. However, if done incorrectly, you can quickly end up with a frizz bomb!
We are going to break down step by step the various diffusing techniques to enable you to diffuse your curls successfully. Depending on your desired outcome, you may use one or two of the following methods.
Stretch Diffuse
This method allows you to stretch and elongate your curl as it is drying, resulting in more length once your curls are 100% dry. Stretch diffusing is perfect for those that struggle with shrinkage.
Pixie Diffusing
Pixie Diffusing encourages volume and a tighter curl pattern, ideal for our curl friends who want to create that voluminous finish.
Hover Diffusing
If you want your curls to remain as they are once you have applied your styler, then Hover Diffusing is the technique for you. Holding the dryer around your curls means they benefit from the heat only. Using the diffuser in this way means it does not come into contact with your curls to manipulate them.
Understanding each method allows you to tailor your diffusing routine. You will likely choose hover and pixie diffusing for wavy hair.
Now that you understand the different diffusing techniques let's talk about hair dryers. There are hundreds of dryers on the market; however, when you have curly hair, only one should be on your radar; our Curlsmith XXL Difrizzion Dryer.
Curl care was the top priority when developing the technology to make our dryer great. The unique features include the following;
Safe Temperature
The dryer's safe temperature prevents heat damage and promotes healthy curls. However, we still recommend using heat protection such as our Miracle Shield.
360 airflow
This unique airflow ensures that the heat wraps around each curl for even drying.
Unique technology
Our ionizing diffrizion technology smooths the cuticles, boosts shine, and eliminates dehydration that causes frizz.
Hands-free feature
We understand that diffusing curly hair can be time-consuming, especially for our low-porosity curl friends. We have created a hands-free feature to relieve those aching arms.
Far infra-red heat
This type of heat penetrates the hair to reduce drying time and damage.
Porcelain ceramic
Ensures even heat distribution meaning that you will not experience any hot spots. Porcelain ceramic is better for curls than Titanium, which can get too hot.
8 Inch diffuser
For those that thought all diffusers were the same, check out the features of what we believe to be the biggest diffuser in the world. The size allows you to dry the hair quickly as you have far more coverage. In addition, the deep prongs of the diffuser allow quicker drying of the roots.
Speed & heat settings
Our dryer features 2 speed settings for a controlled drying experience and 3 heat settings, plus a cool shot button to lock your curls in place and add shine.
We usually recommend the low speed and low heat when diffusing your hair for the best results. However, as our dryer is so kind to the hair, it is possible to increase to a high speed and heat for faster drying whilst still achieving great results.

Your ultimate curl dryer includes:
XXL 8" diffuser for faster yet careful drying
Concentrator nozzle, perfect for drying sections
Pic attachment to help dry roots and create volume
