What does a hair diffuser do?

So first things first. What does a hair diffuser do? A hair diffuser is an innovative hairstyling tool that spreads hot air over the surface of your curls evenly. It helps reduce frizz as well as protects your natural curl pattern. 

A Diffuser can come as a hair dryer attachment as well as a standalone product. It typically features a bowl-like shape and comes with prongs. These prongs are specially designed to lift the roots of your curls, thus adding that extra volume that we all dream of. A diffuser can help give you voluminous, bouncy curls in an instant. It also helps cup your curls in a single place, thus not disrupting your natural curl pattern. 

It is also extremely flexible to use, and you can use it when your head is upside down as well. It also protects your delicate curls from heat damage, as it spreads hot air over the surface of your curls in a controlled manner and dries them gently. Thus, it is safe to say that a diffuser is a holy grail hairstyling tool that is a must-have in your hair care kit for achieving glossy, beautiful curly hair.
