DIFFUSING TIPS ⬇️ ➰ DRY YOUR ROOTS FIRST WHY: Helps promote root volume and scalp health. TIP: Use your fingers to lift the roots for volume, and keep the hair moving to avoid wonky sections in the back. ➰ HOVER DIFFUSE TO SET THE CAST WHY: Keeping the diffuser off your hair helps reduce frizz and allows your clumps to stay together while the cast sets. TIP: I use high speed + medium heat. ➰ PIXIE DIFFUSE TO LIFT WAVES/CURLS WHY: If you struggle with bounce, pixie diffusing helps lift your clumps and create more movement. TIP: Turn your diffuser on and off as you move between sections to help minimize excess frizz. ➰ CUP + HOVER TO DRY WHY: This takes weight off the roots for more volume, lets you dry larger sections at once, and helps prevent excessive drying of your ends, where most damage tends to be. TIP: Use the pinch test to check for dryness. If your hair still feels cool, it’s still wet. Keep going! 💛 ✨ BONUS TIP: REWIND Before you even pick up the diffuser, micro-plop with a cotton or microfiber towel to remove excess water. WHY: Less water = significantly less drying time. 🎥 Follow for more easy wavy/curly hair tips, tricks & tutorials.
