If you're anything like me, you're probably a fan of curly hair. It's bouncy, full of life and can be styled in a variety of different ways. The only drawback is that it can be a little bit difficult to handle at times.
Hairy curly girls face a variety of difficulties when they try to control their curly hair. We'll teach you how to keep curly hair looking professional in this article.
Different Hair Types
Before we start, it's important to understand that not all curly hair is created to be the same. There are a variety of curls, and every curl reacts differently when diffusing.
Type III curls are more difficult to diffuse than types II curls. This is due to the fact that type III curls are already quite dry and frizzy, which means that diffusing them could make them look worse.
However the type II curls tend to be much more manageable and respond well to diffusing. If you're a type II curly hair and you're lucky, you're in luck!
The Right Diffuser
Let's now talk about the different curly hair styles.
When you are deciding on a diffuser there are several points to be considered:
- The size of the diffuser. The diffuser must be large enough to be able to fit onto your hair dryer.
- The form of the diffuser's shape. Some diffusers have a round shape and others are more rectangular. Select the one that will fit the best to your head.
- The type of attachment clip There are two types of clips for attachment: rubber and metal. Rubber clips are more flexible and they aren't likely to damage hair like metal clips can.
How to Diffuse Curly Hair
Once you've figured out what you should be looking for in a diffuser, let's find out how to utilize it.
- Divide your hair into 4 sections: One at the front, another in the back, and two at the sides.
- Cut the first piece of hair and get it out of the way.
- Attach the diffuser to the hairdryer and switch off the diffuser to its lowest setting.
- Begin by placing the diffuser at the roots of your hair and then moving slowly downwards until it reaches the ends. Keep shifting it so that every part of your hair is exposed to air.
- Continue to massage your hair until it is dry completely.
Tips for Diffusing Curly Hair
Make sure you apply a leave-in conditioner or serum prior to dripping your hair. This will shield your hair from heat damage and stop frizzing. When you first start using a diffuser, it might take some time to get used to it. It is possible to test diffusing your hair at a low setting until it becomes more natural.
Doing diffusing isn't the best option for curly hair. If your hair is susceptible to frizzing, you can try air drying instead.
Tips for air-drying curly hair
- Begin by shampooing your hair using shampoo that is free of sulfate and conditioner. Sulfates can be harsh on hair that is curly and may cause it to frizz.
- Use a leave-in conditioner or serum to help protect your hair from the sun's heat and humidity.
- Let your hair air dry as long as it is possible. If you need to blow dry it, use a low setting and keep the nozzle moving around to ensure that your hair doesn't get subjected to direct heating all day.
Conclusion:
Diffusing curly hair is a great way of styling it. However, it might not be the best choice for every person. Air drying is the better choice for hair that is frizzy. And remember to use an leave-in conditioner or a serum to shield your hair from the scorching heat of the sun as well as the humidity.
