    Do you guys have any diffusing tips or do you prefer air drying??

      I diffuse until my hair is damp and then I air dry

      Towel dry in a turbo twist, then diffuse to 85% , then air dry

    Yay finally someone with my hair type!!! I haven’t figure out what to do for my hair yet. My hair can drastically change its appearance based on product and how it’s dried. It can clump big chunks or be like - beach wave style! Some of my hair makes tiny skinny tubular curls - and other parts are like ramen noodle wavy 🤣

    I had a light bulb moment! I think the bowl on my diffuser isn't deep enough and thats why my waves are coming out so wonky, because they are being crammed in there too tightly.. Gonna order this attachment, I bet it will make a huge difference. 😊

    I have wavy hair as well and was so stoked to buy and use a diffuser until I used a diffuser and my experience was literal shit. That discouraged me from using it but once my hair is long enough I am definitely going to try these methods because I feel like my hair texture is so similar to yours. Thank you so much for sharing!

    @melinda My 2a-2b hair can look great the first time I diffuse or let it air dry. When I sleep on my hair (sleep on satin pillowcase) my hair looks all wonky again. What is the trick for keeping our waves and curls looking good the next morning? I have fine hair, but a lot of hair. My hair is quite long, especially in the back. Thank you for ALL your videos and helping so many of us!

    Uncertain - it looks like you are putting the diffuser onto a section of hair and giving it a few second blast of hot air and then turning the heat off and holding the diffuser in place for a few minutes each time. Or are you leaving the heat on the whole time (but for the video did not?)

      Yes I still scrunch and fluff my hair after diffusing. If you’re getting frizz, I’d try adding more product next time when your applying everything. I wouldn’t add more product to dry hair after the fact I’d just remember to add more next time!
