Bellissima Diffon DF1 1000 Hot Air Diffuser for Curly Hair, 11809

Product Information

First thing to note about it is that it’s very light and compact. The Bellissima Diffon is an all-in-one diffuser and hair dryer, therefore there is no need to attach it to a hair dryer. It’s got an ergonomic design that makes it really easy to hold when drying your hair. This is so much better than holding a hairdryer and huge diffuser for ages, especially if you have a lot of hair. This smooth and sleek finish was amplified with the use of the concentrator nozzle and was even noticeable when I used the “Curly” diffuser to enhance my natural waves. The diffuser is large enough to hold large amounts of hair, but not too large that you lose precision. Unlike the more premium Shark and Dyson devices, the Air Wonder has a far more manageable 3m cord, and the included bag makes it super-easy to store away. Overall, the Creativity 4 You is a high-performing hair dryer that offers a huge amount of versatility for all hair types and styles. It falls a little short in terms of design, and needs to be used with caution. However, even with these criticisms, I’d still opt to use this dryer over many others I’ve tried and tested. Creativity 4 You review: price and availability If you want to dry hair faster, or if your hair has lots of volume, "you will want a cup diffuser with prongs," advises Angela Soto, hair stylist and owner of Baja Studio in New York City. "The airflow is a little stronger than most diffusers."

First, wash and detangle your hair in the shower. If you tend to have dry hair, consider applying a leave-in conditioner for added moisture and heat protection. Part, style and define your curls before you begin diffusing. I have medium to long hair and the 700W power is ok for me. Drying my hair doesn’t take much longer than with my older hair dryer. It’s really light, and much easier to move around my scalp than a conventional hair dryer.CERAMIC & ARGAN OIL TECHNOLOGY: Protects the hair whilst drying, with an anti-frizz and anti-dryness effect Then, you can begin to diffuse by directionally blow drying from the root to the tip."The hair dryer should be set to low or medium heat and high airflow when diffusing hair. Tilt your head and cup the hair in the diffuser rather than flipping it and applying heat from below," says Wizemann. "Make gentler movements up and down, directing the spikes towards roots without touching them to lift them and add volume. The tips will also help create a texture, while low heat will define and soften the hair's natural shape." Now that you're convinced that your dryer needs a diffuser to bring out the best in your curl pattern, the next question concerns what you actually need to look for in an attachment to make sure it’s right for both your hair and your dryer.

With its diffuser, the Dyson Supersonic is many hairdressers' go-to for drying curly hair, including Jonny Eagland, senior stylist at John Frieda Salons, whose advice would be to go for it if your budget allows. “The airflow is so gentle and it has three different heat and speed settings, but it’s also super lightweight, so it won’t stress your shoulders when holding for a fair amount of time,” he says. If hair health is a huge priority for you and your curls, this could be just the thing when combined with hair repair products (our K18 review is an ideal treatment for fragile curls). By and large, many of the best hair dryers for curly hair include diffusers, or at least the option to buy an attachment. “A diffuser is a brilliant tool to use for those looking to add definition to their curls, even out their curl pattern, and add volume," says top hairstylist and salon owner Charlotte Mensah. "Using one ensures that the air doesn't disrupt your curl pattern or cause breakage. Diffusers can be used on a variety of different hair textures and patterns. It’s just about finding the right accessory attachment and technique for you.” Smooth & Delicate: this concentrator features a micro-perforated grid that helps minimize frizz and reduce hair damage;As a result, the Creativity 4 You dryer falls a little short for design – a selection of excellent features is let down by some poor choices elsewhere. The prongs are also a generous length and can reach the scalp, while the surface of the diffuser is covered with a good amount of holes. It also features adjustable airflow, meaning you can adapt the amount of air that comes through the dryer to suit your styling needs and preference.
