Stacking by diffuser: procedure description

Laying with a 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 an increasing number of women resort to using a diffuser to create curls, curls or voluminous hairstyles at home.

What it is

The nozzle is a clove located on a flat circle with a diameter of up to 10 cm. They can be of different sizes, whole or hollow, rare or frequent, repeat the contour of the head or be placed evenly.

Styling with a diffuser does not injure the hair structure and does not burn the scalp. The special design, where there are special openings on the base and cloves, allows the air stream to disperse. Thanks to this, the drying process is safe, 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 a short haircut, as it allows you to dry curls “without ripples”.
   
2. The model with hollow teeth and small holes is designed to obtain the maximum basal volume.
3. For medium lengths, short cloves are ideal.
   
   Owners of curly hair with this model can make tight curls. But for long strands such a nozzle is not suitable, since creases are formed during laying.
4. Rounded cloves with pillow support gently dry the hair along the entire length;
   
5. The Supervolume model will create volumetric curls on thin curls.
6. The comb diffuser was not created for curling, but for straightening.
   
7. Nozzle with long and straight teeth is designed for long hair, straight from nature. The nozzle will help create a basal 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 we turn to the main thing - laying with a diffuser.

First you need to wash your hair well and slightly dry in vivo, that is, without using a hair dryer. After you must apply any of the following styling products:

• foam;
• gel;
• mousse;
• milk;
• spray.

You need to dry your hair by dividing them in two. It is recommended to stab the upper part so that during the process it does not interfere with the lower part being laid. Next, you need to take the diffuser in your working hand and put small locks on the teeth in turn, and press the nozzle itself tightly 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 styling with a diffuser should occur in the first mode. The finished result is fixed by applying a cold stream of air.

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

Advantages and disadvantages

None of the analysis of technology can do without a review of its pros and cons in use. Hair styling with a diffuser has several advantages, so let's start with them:

• Quickly and carefully dries curls.
• The diffuser is a universal nozzle that not only curls, but also straightens hair. Also, with its help, you can achieve the maximum basal volume.
• Hair dryers, which include a nozzle-diffuser, are usually distinguished by quality and safety standards. Therefore, they will serve for a long time.
• Drying with a diffuser takes place much more carefully than with a hairdryer.

According to customer reviews, two shortcomings were discovered:

1. Overpriced. Many people prefer to buy a nozzle in a set with a hairdryer. Such sets are not cheap, so few can afford a purchase.
2. Styling with a diffuser requires skill and dexterity, as in the process the hair gets confused, which complicates the process of creating a hairstyle.
