PoPoporque Power and define the curl, reduces frizz and minimizes heat damage to hair.We talk with two art experts

By Marina Valera

When I was little, I remember seeing my mother to use the hair diffuser day and day also to shape her curly mane.For me it was a very strange device, as of outstanding science fiction, almost retro, which was slowly disappearing from the countertop of its bathroom until one day, I did not see it again.I had been replaced by the nozzle and round brush in the strenuous struggle of my parent for getting a moderately smooth texture.With the passage of time, however, the diffuser reappeared in my life, just at that time of adolescence in which I discovered that with that device my hair could become curly or, at least, infinitely more wavy than without him.

Beatriz Mora and Víctor Latorre, stylist and colorist of Art Lab respectively, confirm that the diffuser is precisely for that: to enhance and define the curly hair in curly hair, but also in hair with medium or smooth texture like mine, providing movement and movement anddefinition.Of course, always accompanied by products indicated for the activation of the curl and the control of moisture such as Be Curly de Aveda or Potion 9 of Sebastian.

But the diffuser has many other benefits that I did not know and that encourage me to try again (and, incidentally, convince my mother to use it again).Since, attention, control the frizz to minimize the possible heat damage to the hair, through the possibility of getting desired surfing waves, more volume or the sought texture Messy.Here are a few tricks by Beatriz Mora and Víctor Latorre de Art Lab to take advantage of your hair diffuser.

To control frizz

"The diffuser is ideal to strengthen the person's curl or wave.While with a normal dryer it is more complicated to avoid the frizz effect, "this tool allows hair to be more compact and more defined".In short, you control it more.

To reduce the impact of heat

As Beatriz Mora explains, "it is an accessory designed to distribute heat and air in a homogeneous way with the aim of minimizing dehydration and damage that hair can suffer due to excessive heat use".A great news for those women who need to make use of the dryer constantly and who want to keep the health of their hair.

To create surfing waves

Víctor Latorre explains the process to make surfing waves with diffuser as follows: 1) We wash, condition and remove excess water with the towel;2) We put a product that helps us smoothly like Smooth infusion of Ava to achieve that surfer effect;3) We apply heat with the diffuser in all directions;4) Once dry, we play with alternate strands and tenacilla;And 5) Finally, we move it to open it and give the result.

For an extra volume

First of all, it is time to say that the diffuser is especially indicated for people who like the volume."The question is to be clear about the effect we want to achieve.When you don't look for much volume or do not want too much definition of the wave, it is not advisable to use it, "Víctor explains.That said, the process begins in the same way: we wash, condition and remove excess water.Then the thing changes."We use a product to intensify the wave like Bea Curly de Aveda and dry upside down with the diffuser.Once dry, we open our hair to mechón and, if we card the area, "says the colorist of Art Lab.

To get a messy hair

To find this desired texture, Victor recommends putting the power of the dryer to the maximum with the diffuser and, once dry, upset the hair or move it to give that disorderly effect."If you pass, you can moisten it with sprayer until you get the desired effect," reveals the expert.

Speed and power

As Latorre explains, "to have a beautiful curly hair, the most important thing is to have it hydrated".Since the diffuser minimizes precisely dehydration and heat damage to the hair, we must use it in a very specific way: always at medium or low or low power and with the very hot temperature and.Thus "we will control excess curl, respecting its naturalness," says Beatriz Mora.
