Step-By-Step: How to Diffuse Curly HairThis expert guide will get you perfectly defined, frizz-free curls |
Step 1: Apply leave-in conditioner After shampooing and conditioning, Ouidad says to use a spray conditioner to lock moisture into your hair immediately after showering. This will help minimize frizz and keep hair feeling soft. A few to try: It's a 10 Miracle Leave-in Product, $18.52, Garnier Fructis Moisture Lock 10-in-1 Rescue Leave-In Spray, $4.99, or Briogeo Don't Despair, Repair Strength + Moisture Leave-In Mask, $28.
If your hair is wavy you can skip this step because it may weigh down the curls you're trying to create.

Excellent advice. I have a lot of natural curl, and I see stylists following these steps instead of using any curlers or curling irons. They simply work the curls with their fingers.

Thanks! This was very helpful! I'll be sure to keep this in mind when my karmin salon pro hair dryer arrives! It comes with a diffuser so I hope they hurry up with the shipping :D

I have a diffuser for my curl hair, it works great at enhancing my curls. Having a pro hair dryer helps too, mine is a Karmin G3 Salon Pro Professional and it's the best i've used so far :)
