What is a hair diffuser?A hair dryer diffuser is a tool that’s attached to your blow dryer that helps evenly disperse air over a larger area of your hair. It’s round and covered with “spikes” that help keep your curls separated while creating more lift at the root. Good hair day by @dezidoesit. What does a hair diffuser do to your hair?When you use a blow dryer with a regular attachment, you get a strong, steady stream of air. A diffuser attachment eliminates that concentrated stream of air and instead disperses it, which in turn prevents disturbing the natural curl pattern. The result: You can dry your waves and ringlets with lightning speed and enjoy seeing less frizz, more definition, and improved volume. Good hair day by @beeblondor. Who should use a hair diffuser?Hair diffusers can technically be used by anyone, but they’re particularly beneficial for those with curly hair or even wavy hair. Their ability to eliminate frizz and boost body makes hair dryer diffusers a must-have in hairstyling routines. Good hair day by @lamajbackwards. How do you use a hair diffuser?As far as how to diffuse curly hair or wavy hair, there are a few different methods you can try when using a hair diffuser attachment tool. One of the most common techniques is to place your mid-shaft to ends on the diffuser and use it to scrunch your hair up as the blow dryer dries. This helps your curls maintain their natural shape and disturbs them less while drying. If you're looking for a style with a little extra volume, flip your head over and diffuse your locks upside down to help create volume right at your roots. If you’re worried about concentrating that much heat, hold the diffuser six inches away from your mane and slowly pass the blow dryer down the length of your curls. It’s a similar technique to traditional blow drying, but the air is dispersed more evenly so it’s less severe. Continue this process until your hair is completely dry. Since this can take a while, you could let your hair air dry a bit, then go in with the blow dryer. The Best Hair Diffusers To Try NowEager to try one of these must-have blow dryer attachments?

Can you use a normal hair dryer as a diffuser?DIY sock diffuser
Cover the end of your blow dryer with a breathable fabric (like a cheesecloth), leaving about a 2 to 3 inches of bubble at the end. Attach using one of your hair ties and that's it. Use it to dry your wet waves and curls like you would a normal sock diffuser attachment.
How do you install a diffuser on a hair dryer?Put the diffuser on the end of the dryer and tilt it upward. Take a 2-inch section of hair and place it in the bowl. Twisting the hair first will give the waves more definition, especially if you have certain sections that always fall flat. Set the dryer on low or medium.
What can I use if I don't have a diffuser attachment?You can use your hands as an alternative, but you'll need a hair dryer. In doing this method, make sure you set the hair dryer at its lowest temperature. Also, make sure you apply a heat protectant beforehand to help prevent and minimize heat damage.
