Air Dry vs Diffusing - Which do you prefer? ✨

I’m often asked why I choose to diffuse and my answer is pretty easy. I diffuse because it gives me my best desired results.
___

A few call outs:

➰ The diffuser helps lift the hair and give it more bounce and volume
➰ Air drying gives me a looser wave pattern as the water weighs down my hair in the drying process
➰ Diffusing half my head only took 10 minutes (usually ~20 mins for my entire head)
➰ Air drying the other half took 10x as long
➰ Since I was trying to keep each half separated, I couldn’t flip my hair upside down to dry, which gave me a flatter root. For more volume, dry side to side and upside down.

Humidity Hack⬇️

When hair is 100% dry: use a pump of foam or mousse, emulsified in your hands, then glaze and scrunch to break the crunchy cast in your hair. This also adds a nice layer of protection from the humidity.

Pro tip: use the warmth of the diffuser to help soften the cast when scrunching. This is also helpful as you can pause to hit any hidden damp spots with air before continuing to scrunch.

How I diffuse with my favorite dryer - Laifen SE💛

I love this dryer for how lightweight, fast and easy it is to use. It also comes in multiple colors (the purple is my favorite 💜)

WAVYCURLY discount code is applicable on the Laifen website only.

Auto-cycle is an option on the Laifen to rotate between all the temp settings. This allows quick bursts of hot, warm and cool air to ensure the hair doesn’t overheat.

Also - the color rings on the back of the dryer make it easy to see which temp setting I’m on so that I don’t need to keep bringing the diffuser down to look at it. I can easily see the reflection in the mirror or against my hand. 10/10 recommend!

I use medium heat and high speed with my Laifen diffuser. The motor on the dryer is so strong and dries my hair in no time.

Why I Stopped Pixie Diffusing My Wavy CurlyHair✨

Pixie diffusing works wonders for extra volume, however it frequently caused my hair to dry wonky the closer it got to my root. This is especially true for my bottom layers as they tend to dry in a looser pattern and don’t want to “curl” up into the diffuser (this is totally normally to have multiple patterns!)

Cupping my hair has worked so well with my natural wave and encourages it to dry the way it wants to.

Here are some of the benefits for me:

➰ More consistency in my pattern and final results
➰ Improved defintion
➰ Decreased frizz as the airflow is directed downward, in the direction of the cuticle
➰ Improved volume at the root
➰ Longer last washdays and less of a need to refresh.

$This dryer is an all time favorite (I only use it in all my videos 🤣). It’s lightweight, dries my curls so fast and is a fraction of the price of competitive dryers. #LTKSaleAlert #LTKBeauty #LTKFindsUnder100$

My old diffusing routine from 2020.

A little odd? Yes. Pain in the neck? Absolutely. But did I achieve my desired result? Every time.

In this video, I demonstrate a method I like to call "Hammock Diffusing" to achieve optimal definition and shine, less disruption to the curl pattern and a whole lot less frizz.
