Finally, someone MY AGE, to show me how to do this diffuser the right way. You look great, I am hoping to achieve better results 🙏

I've been watching curly hair YouTube's for over a year and just barely saw this today. You're the first to say it's ok to leave diffuser on section for 5 whole minutes can't wait to try

[dale]

Drying for five minutes and using high heat are so different from the instructions of other videos. I’ve been afraid to try your method because of that. Thanks for giving me the courage to try it.

So helpful! I'm 35 friggin years old and am just now learning how to make my hair so much better!

You are right about how stylists dries curly hair…I immediately go home and re do my hair every time.

As a stylist...THANK YOU!!! I had my client a little frizzy today and I just need to shift my mindset. Sometimes we’re thinking about time and I will be sooo much better with my patience and time management with my curly fam from now on ♥️

[beverlybishop]

Thank you I am happy to see a woman my age enjoying her curls and reviewing hair and makeup products, everyone else On You tube is a third my age!

WOW! I’m currently getting my cosmetology license and today I diffused a lady’s hair and when I tell you I did EVERYTHING WRONG!! I noticed her hair was getting frizzy so I instantly stopped! I just couldn’t continue on without the proper knowledge. I absolutely LOVE your method like ma’am you should be teaching this technique!! I definitely will be using this next time I do natural curly hair !! I’m so happy I came across this video. I was determined to find the best way for the best results. THANK YOU!!

wow I am 70 with white curly hair. Cannot tell you how many times I have left the salon with "cranky hair".This is the first time I have ever seen a diffuser used this way. I quickly washed my hair after watching you today and held the diffuser in place while drying. Vavavoom if I do say so myself. LOL

I’m new to embracing my curls and this was sooo helpful! I can’t wait to give this new diffusing method a try. Simple and clear instructions-thank you!! 🙏🏻

[meggiecrane]

I’m so pleased this video came up in my feed. I still struggle to style my hair at the age of 38 but thank you so much for this tutorial. Followed your instructions and my fine hair has turned out voluminous with no sign of frizz or flatness. Thank you 😊

This diffuser lesson for curly hair was awesome. Thank you for doing it. I, too, have suffered at the hands of unskilled "professionals" who say they can do curly hair. Never enough product and frizzing my hair as they dry. 😅 I'll be trying this tomorrow! 💜💜

[ellendillon]

Love this. Thank you so much. Great demonstration without too much unnecessary commentary. Just the right amount of explanation. ❤

[tennismama]

Deb, went straight away to wash/style my hair after your video. Much happier with outcome.

[leamubiu]

I discovered recently that my hair texture is actually pretty curly naturally (thanks dad!), but it needs specific conditions to actually make nice curls —conditions that are just not met where I live. My hair usually is straightish yet frizzy. I’m going to try and bring out my curls with this kind of care, and I must thank you for showing me how to use a diffuser. Never thought I might want one 😂

I appreciate this video :). I'm a man and I've always liked having longer hair (currently it goes about an inch past my shoulders). I personally am not trying to have curly hair like this, but my hair does have natural waves in it. These almost always get destroyed when I first wash my hair for the week, then start showing up a few days after washing. I've always wanted to figure out how to make these waves more pronounced and defined, and preferably find a way to keep them even after washing. I wash once a week, sometimes twice if I've been doing something particularly dirty (like handling drywall, lol). But this works well for my hair, because if I wash every day it's just a frizzy mess.

I've spoken to lots of people who have hair similar to mine, and they recommend products made for scrunching and curling, along with a diffuser. I've tried these, and there most definitely is a noticeable difference, however the problem I've run into is my hair just eventually falls flat. I at first thought maybe I wasn't doing it right, but watching your video has shown me that I'm on the right track. It's not my technique, I think I have this problem because the hair just gets too heavy with the products I'm adding? It looks GREAT at first, for several hours, then eventually turns into the "do not" side, lol.

I think you hit the nail on the head at the beginning. All of my hair is currently one length (for the most part). I don't have any layers, and I would say I can get it to look pretty good (at least, strangers have not been shy of complimenting it, or wanting to touch it and feel it). But I think it's really all about having the right cut. If your hair is all the same length, there's no variety in how you'll get waves/curls to appear. I can get lovely little waves at the ends of my hair, and can see them start to form in the middle and near the roots, but they just work themselves out. I loved the way it looked this morning, but by the middle of the day it was flat and messy, not lovely and wavy.

I really appreciate this video. I learned something new and wasn’t irritated at all by your teaching methods. Much appreciated. Some channels on YT— I’ll just leave it at that. Thank you much!

[florabotos]

This is life-changing! I was using a diffuser before and my curls looked so bad and I thought it's just not working. I didn't know that there is another technique.

[jodales]

Wow I can’t wait to try this, I’ve spent sooo much money on different products to try and get the right curl! Now I get it…dam I’ve got to the age of 50 and struggled for so many years. Thanks you so much 😘

This is one of the most helpful tutorials on curls I've seen. I'm in the experimental/exploration phase with my wavy/curly hair and I think these tips just might help address the issues I've been having. 🙏❤
