What settings should my diffuser be on?
Using high heat and airflow: Opt for low heat and low flow settings on your hair dryer to avoid frizz. Though it may take a bit longer to style, the results will be worth it. Moving the diffuser too much: Avoid creating frizz by keeping the diffuser still as you dry each section. Constantly bouncing the diffuser around creates frizz. Keep the diffuser in place and flip your hair to the section you want to dry. Tilt your head around as needed and hold the diffuser in place until each section is completely dry.One of the biggest causes of frizzy hair post-diffuser is not using the lowest heat and pressure setting on an ion hair dryer. Be patient! Low heat and low pressure create a longer styling process, but it’s worth it for the best curls.
