Curly hair- diffuser?

[Bernadine]

Do you have one you’d recommend? I’ve just started letting my hair go curly every day, trying out different products, and I think I’d like to try a diffuser.

It's not super fancy, but this is the one that I use.

My diffuser is my BFF. I have thin fine curly hair but you would never guess that because of diffusing my hair upside down. Tons of volume. This is the one I have been using for a while. Nothing fancy. I would love to try a Dyson one day though. www.target.com/p/infinitipro-by-conair-salon-professional-hair-dryer-1875-watt/-/A-79655186?preselect=14921184#lnk=sametab

I have the one that @sameoldstory posted.

But mostly I have been using the plop method using microfiber hair towels like these: www.amazon.com/dp/B08S31RWBK/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_Y5H52PGN67RQJZTSP4MS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I've actually started plopping as well, and go to sleep with my hair wrapped up, but it's never completely dry in the morning so sometimes I diffuse it as well. That also helps soften my hair up since sometimes the product can make it feel a bit stiff. I've just been using a t-shirt though, I think I might get some of these towels, they look much more comfortable

I chose this dryer because it came with the size/type of diffuser that I like: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A1DWRO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
(Large bowl-shaped diffuser with long fingers.)

Plopping doesn't work for me. I need to get it 100% dry with a blow-dryer to have shiny bouncy curls.

Same re: plopping. Maybe I just do it wrong but it always looks like a flat clumpy mess.

I was just looking into this. I’m going to try the combo of the black orchid diffuser with the Conair travel Infiniti pro. It looks like a nice combo (not too much bulk).

It will still feel crunchy - but I will use my fingers a bit to break the cast and its better then. They are definitely comfortable - I sometimes forget and keep it on for a lot longer than I intended to, hah!

Just a heads up that plopping wet hair overnight can lead to some fungal issues with your scalp - especially if it’s still noticeably damp when you wake up.

I have and love the Xtava black orchid.
