Wash your hair and gently pat it dry with a towel so that it remains damp.

Using a mousse that defines your curls will be more effective. Some recommend the ‘comb and shake’ method to bring out natural waves before using a diffuser. Divide your hair into five sections, one at the front and two on each side.

Apply the leave-in conditioner and other hair care products recommended by your hairdresser to all sections. Once you finish a section, hold that strand by the ends and shake it so that the natural waves can take shape.

Start drying your hair with the diffuser. Attach the diffuser to the nozzle of your hair dryer. Always start at a low or medium heat setting. Start by tilting your head to one side. Take the diffuser and place it toward the roots. Keep it there until the roots are dry. Make circular motions while drying your hair near your head. You can use the prongs of the diffuser to gently massage your hair, which adds volume while highlighting your natural waves.

Move toward the ends of your hair. Continue massaging your hair with the diffuser; make circular motions until the ends of your hair are dry. Apply pressure to the waves as you move toward the ends using the diffuser. This adds volume while maintaining the natural shape of your hair.

Keep in mind: If your hair is curly, you should use the diffuser differently. Many women with curly hair have found it more beneficial to let their hair air dry after drying the roots. If you think the diffuser makes your natural curly hair frizzy, let the ends of your hair dry naturally. Experiment to see if this is a better method for you. Do not use your hands while drying your hair with a diffuser. Touching causes frizz and leads to the loss of natural curls. Drying your hair only with a diffuser may seem to take a very long time, but not touching your hair produces better results.

Use hair products after the process. You may consider using post-styling products after your hair has dried. Heat can damage hair. Hairspray, conditioner, or other products will help you. Gently spray hairspray after your hair is dry. This helps your hair maintain its shape all day long. If your hair looks stiff or dull after drying, there are many products you can use to overcome this. You can consider conditioners or shine serums, and you can obtain these from expert hairdressers. Take a little bit of the cream or serum in your hand and apply it to your hair. Pull your hands back through your hair as if you were making a ponytail and continue until you reach the ends.
