How to Diffuse Wavy Hair – Easy Trick!

Table of Contents

I have had a lot of people talking about how they struggle to maintain wavy hair and they badly want to use techniques through which they can have their wavy hair look and feel much better. I think diffusing is one way through which your wavy hair lock can look so much more bouncy and soft. I am here to tell you how to diffuse wavy hair  properly.

Pre-Diffusing Preparation

Always make sure that you start by using a nourishing shampoo and conditioner that is suitable for your wavy hair. Also, grab a wide-tooth comb or simply use your fingers to gently remove any knots because detangling makes diffusing easier. 

Choosing the Right Diffuser

I know that not all diffusers are designed for each type of hair and especially, if you have wavy hair then it gets way more difficult. I woulds say that you should take your time in finding out the best diffuser for you and see which type of diffusion attachments are available near you. 

And, you should always look at factors like size and shape which definitely makes a lot of difference. I usually use that wide prongs and a bowl-shaped design which helps better in  separating and distributing your natural wavy hair easily.

Diffuse Wavy Hair (Step-by-Step) Technique

You should always start by applying your regular products on your wavy hair so that it reaches evenly through all your hair. After that, you can section your hair to make sure that every strand gets the product you are using. Then,  attach the diffuser to the blow dryer and keep it on a medium heat. 

I always part my hair and then gently cup the sections of my hair into the diffuser. Make sure that you are always lifting it towards your roots to get maximum volume. And once its done, just finish with the cooling down setting so that you get beautiful waves.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

I would say that over-diffusing can always result in dread-frizz. Just make sure that you use the diffuser on a limit and stay cautious of how long you are using the diffuser for your wavy hair. In a similar way, if you use high heat settings for your hair then it will do more harm than good. 

So, just stick to a medium temperature as I have said above. And also, remember that any kind of rough handling during the drying process of hair can also disrupt your waves and you have to do it all over again. So, make sure that you are careful!

Tips for Maintaining Wavy Hair After Diffusing

Silk Pillow for Wavy Hair

I would say that it is better if you avoid  cotton pillow cases and rather get yourself a Silk or a Satin pillowcase so that it minimizes any kind of friction and also prevent frizz, which we do not like, obviously. And, a water-based spray can always help in reviving your hair on the days it does not require a wash.

It depends on your preference and lifestyle, but diffusing can help enhance your waves while air drying allows for a more natural look.

While styling products can enhance your waves, you can still diffuse wavy hair without them – just expect slightly less definition.

Diffuse as often as needed to maintain your desired look, but be mindful not to overdo it to prevent heat damage.
