To diffuse wavy hair, use medium heat and high speed on your diffuser, hovering around the roots and ends.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on typical diffusing techniques and the provided reference:
- Hover Diffusing: Hover the diffuser around your roots and ends without pressing it directly against your hair. This helps prevent frizz and maintain wave definition.
- Heat Setting: Use a medium heat setting. High heat can damage your hair and cause frizz.
- Speed Setting: Use a high speed setting to help dry your hair more quickly.
Additional Tips for Diffusing Wavy Hair:
- Apply Product: Before diffusing, apply a curl cream, mousse, or gel to your wet hair to enhance wave definition and reduce frizz.
- Plopping (Optional): You can "plop" your hair in a microfiber towel or t-shirt for 15-30 minutes before diffusing to remove excess water and further enhance your wave pattern.
- Cup the Hair: After hover diffusing to set the roots, gently cup sections of your hair into the diffuser bowl and hold for a few seconds before moving on. This helps to encourage the waves to form.
- Avoid Over-Diffusing: Diffuse until your hair is about 80-90% dry. Let it air dry the rest of the way to minimize frizz.
- Cool Shot: Finish with a cool shot of air to help set your waves and add shine.
