What is Hair Diffuser? How to diffuse hair without a diffuser?

A hair diffuser is an attachment that can be added to a hair dryer, which helps to distribute heat and airflow evenly through the hair. This can help to enhance natural curls, reduce frizz and add volume. In order to dry curly, wavy, or coily hair, diffusers are specifically designed to prevent the curl pattern from being disrupted.

Diffusing hair without a diffuser can be done using a t-shirt or microfiber towel to scrunch and dry the hair, or using the cool shot button on a hair dryer and blowing the hair dry in a downward motion. Additionally, using your hands to scrunch the hair while it air dries gently can also help add volume and define curls.
