Diffuser : What is it?

Diffusers1

Diffusers spread hot air from hair dryers to evenly distribute heat and prevent overheating. They also allow the heat to cover a larger area for faster heating. They are usually made of metal or plastic, and feature several small holes for the hot air to pass through. Most diffusers fit over the dryer’s spout and may be used on different dryers.

Kinds of Diffusers include the following:

Standard Diffusers

  • Standard Diffusers have wide, flat nozzles and a fine grille pattern.
  • They usually have a solid center, which can be set to rotate while sliding over the hair.
  • They attach easily to most dryers, but have limited speed and air flow settings.


Finger Diffusers

  • Finger Diffusers have small, straight pegs that plug into small openings on the dryer nozzle.
  • They are more stable than Standard Diffusers and have more speed selections.
  • Some models can be attached with a second grill for a finer flow and better temperature control.


Air Bag Diffusers

  • Air Bag Diffusers are made of thick, flexible fabrics with small punctures or a mesh pattern.
  • They allow the nozzle to press directly over the hair without scorching.
  • They are easier to clean and maintain, and can be folded up when not in use.

Choosing Diffusers (Buying Tips)

Nozzle size: Choose a diffuser with a wide nozzle to distribute heat over a wider surface. Make sure the vents are evenly placed throughout the nozzle for a smoother finish. Choose a smaller nozzle if you have finely curled hair.

Fit: Choose a diffuser that fits properly over your hair dryer’s spout. Look for one with a screw-on construction for a more secure fit. Allow a little room for spinning attachments to reduce friction and prevent overheating.
