If you're not adding root clips, or want to diffuse to 100%, repeat steps two to four until hair is dry. Cool to the Touch: Not to worry about burning your fingers on this large hair diffuser. There were times I thought my hair dryer was on the cool setting as I didn’t feel the heat coming from the attachment. Now, you may be wondering why the voltage is different for each type of diffuser. The reason is because AC diffusers use more power than DC diffusers. This is because AC diffusers need to convert the AC power into DC power before it can be used to power the diffuser. The prongs on this diffuser are short, and the circumference of the diffuser bowl is really large. This resulted in air blowing across a wider space. When diffusing the front sections of my hair, I couldn’t get an angle that wouldn’t blow air onto my ears which I found uncomfortable. Finally, place the diffuser on a level surface and plug it in. The diffuser will start to work immediately, releasing a fine mist of fragrant oil into the air.

The DevaFuser allows you to dry your roots first, which not only benefits the ends of your hair, but also helps with volume. Our roots usually take the longest to dry, and the longer they are left wet, the more chance there is of ending up with flat roots. But, if you dry your roots first, you'll be left with fab volume. Diffuser Insert Falls Out: The silicone grip insert designed to keep the diffuser attached to your hair dryer falls out. The inner banded seal isn’t glued and the SnozzlePro attachment pulls it out each time the large diffuser is taken off.

Often hard to find, The Gama Universal Super Diffuser is the most expensive one I’ve used, but the quality is really good. It’s well made, durable and has never over heated, or showed any signs of wear and tear. The air flow is a little stronger than the Diva Pro – which I found gave me a little more frizz – but only slightly. The drying time was the same because it’s so deep and holds so much hair. When my hair was waist length, I’d often use the Gama Diffuser to diffuse the ends and mid lengths. Then use the Diva Pro to diffuse for the best root lift and volume. Gama Super Diffuser overall score: 9/10 Babyliss Pro 3 in 1 Universal Diffuser The hand design can make it hard to dry the lengths of the hair because hair can fall through the gaps. To combat this, you could either use a different diffuser for your lengths or take a leaf out of Spisha's book and only dry your roots.

While, essentially, the Curly Girl Method recommends refraining from using heat on the hair (Lorraine Massey refers to hairdryers as 'blow-fryers', because the heat sizzles the hair!), it really comes down to personal preference. Sometimes, you need to add a bit of heat to speed up the drying process, and that's okay! Firstly, regular hairdryer attachments are simply no good for drying curly hair (unless you're after a bouncy blowdry - but, if that's the case, why are you reading this article?!). Because there is nothing to distribute the air, regular hairdryer attachments blast air at one section of hair, which sends your hair's cuticles into a flurry and causes frizz.

There are TONS of questions and answers related to this diffuser and “will it fit my blowdryer?” The problem is that there were a lot of conflicting answers.

It’s still really easy to fix and it kept me from buying a new blowdryer just for this awesome diffuser. And yes, it IS an awesome diffuser. It’s also massive.
