Stacking with diffuser: description of procedure

Styling the diffuser has long ceased to be the prerogative of stylists. Although a couple of decades ago, the nozzle was used only in hairdressing salons to give a perm a more aesthetic appearance. And every year more and more women to create curls, curls or voluminous hair at home resort to the help of a diffuser.

What it is

The nozzle is a denticle, located on a flat circle with a diameter of up to 10 cm. They come in different sizes, whole or hollow, sparse or frequent, repeat the contour of the head or evenly.

Styling the diffuser does not damage the structure of the hair and does not burn the scalp. Special design, where the disk-based and denticles have special holes, allows the air jet to dissipate. Thanks to this, the drying process passes safely, which allows more frequent use of the nozzle.

How to choose a diffuser and what to look for

There are many variants of models, and each is designed for a certain type of hair and styling:

1. The nozzle with a wide platform is designed for short haircuts, as it allows to dry curls "without ripples".
2. The model with hollow teeth and small holes is designed to obtain the maximum root volume.
3. For medium length, short teeth are ideal. Owners of curly hair with this model can make tight curls. But for long strands such a nozzle will not work, as during the laying, creases are formed.
4. Rounded denticles with a support in the form of pillows gently dry the hair along the entire length;
5. The Supervolume model will create curly curls on thin curls.
6. The diffuser-comb is not designed for curling, but for straightening.
7. The nozzle with long and straight denticles is designed for long hair, straight from nature. The nozzle will help to create a radical volume and make a light wave.
8. For thick and long hair you need a model with solid teeth with an absolutely smooth surface.

Proper Use

How to choose a nozzle - figured out. Now go to the main thing - styling the diffuser.

First, you need to wash your hair well and lightly dry it in natural conditions, that is, without using a hair dryer. Then you must apply any of the following packing materials:

• Foam;
• gel;
• mousse;
• Milk;
• spray.

Dry your hair by dividing them in two. The upper part is recommended to be stabbed so that during the process does not interfere with laying the bottom. Next, you need to take the diffuser into the working hand and alternately lay on the teeth small strands, and the nozzle itself firmly pressed to the head. For greater volume and pleasure, you can perform light circular massage movements. An incredible result can be obtained if you tilt your head in different directions during drying.

If you have thin hair, then the diffuser should be laid in the first mode. The finished result is secured by the supply of a cold air stream.

To obtain elastic curls it is sufficient to use a hair dryer in the direction from the bottom up. After achieving the desired result, the desired hair is formed from the hair and fixed with a varnish.
