Product Information

The family name behind one of London’s most luxurious salon destinations, as well as a line of great hair-styling products Hershesons now offers The Great Hair Dryer, a pleasingly stylish electric blue number. It comes in a snazzy metal case complete with a leather-look handle, along with three attachments: two concentrated nozzles and a small diffuser.

Optional] When hair is 80-90% dry, stop diffusing and add some root clips to help with volume. Leave to air dry the rest of the way. Ahh the Dyson, adored by many and on the wish-list of curlies across the globe. The Dyson Supersonic is a hairdryer with a different kind of drying technology. According to Dyson, it dries hair six times faster than a regular hairdryer through its high-pressure, high-velocity jet of controlled air. It also regulates the heat to prevent extreme heat damage.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. If you've ever bought a new hairdryer and wondered what on earth the diffuser attachment is, or better yet, left it in the box to gather dust, you're not alone! So, what is a hair diffuser? What's its purpose? And why can't you just use a regular hairdryer attachment to dry your curly hair? 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). If you're new to this whole looking after your curls thing and don't want to invest in a diffuser just yet (but equally don't want to air dry), there are a couple of items/methods you can use to dry your curly hair instead. 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.

The diffuser attachment, although small, works like a charm! My hairdresser dries my hair with it and I still get great volume and definition. But, let's be honest, we're not buying the Dyson Supersonic for its diffuser attachment, we're buying it because diffusing curly takes, what feels like, a lifetime! Tip your head to one side, take a small section of hair and place it into the diffuser bowl. Gently bring the diffuser up to your scalp, and then turn the hairdryer on. 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.

Size and weight: The size and weight of your dryer is important day-to-day, particularly if you're hoping to avoid arm ache. But it's even more important if you're somebody who travels regularly and wants a tool that doesn't take up too much space in your bag. About the Brand: Founded by Lorraine Massey in 1994, Massey opened her first salon in New York City and became renowned for the "Curly Girl Method," a technique used to wash and style curly hair. About My Hair: 4c, low-porosity hair with highlights

Learning to style and care for my natural hair has been a journey, and one that I am so happy I decided to take a chance on. There was a point where I thought my kinks and coils were destined for chronic dryness and breakage. But, my visits to a DevaCurl-trained curly stylist changed all of that for me. Their level of knowledge and care helped me embrace the curls that I once thought were 4c, but now realize that they are a mix of all three—4a, 4b, and 4c I think—which is an important distinction. We tested a range of hair dryers whose manufacturers billed their tools as being particularly quiet, comparing them against each other to find the quietest of the bunch. But volume wasn’t the only category we required these dryers to score highly in (or low, if we’re being technical) –we required them to be all-around excellent dryers and assessed the following factors:Once your curls have started to set, you can go in an add some more product (if you feel the need). This is called the 'Smasters' technique. Add a small amount of product in your hands, mix with water, glaze over your hair and lightly scrunch towards your scalp.

Hairdryer diffusers, on the other hand, delicately distribute the air so curls dry evenly, and without excess frizz.With over five years’ experience in beauty and health journalism, Florence has written for ELLE, Women’s Fitness, Sister Magazine, National Geographic Traveller and many more, with a strong sustainability angle thread through much of her work. Sieve or Collander: While it sounds crazy, it does work! I tried this once and was pleasantly surprised with the results. This little kitchen essential works in the same way as a diffuser, gently dispersing the air out of the hairdryer, so it doesn't focus on one section and blast your curls. If you have individual curls that aren't curling up so well, you can also go in and add some product to them and finger coil by twisting around your finger in the direction of the curl. Repeat steps two to four. The DevaCurl DevaFuser is raved about when it comes to creating volume. You know that fluffing-out-at-the root thing you do once your hair is dry to create volume? Well, this handy (get it?) diffuser works in the same way.
