Best Hair Diffusers For Wavy and Curly Hair 2024.

Written by Helen Turner - 14/06/2023.

Here is a list of my favourite hair dryers and diffusers for curly and wavy hair. Finding one that suits your hair type, length and curl pattern is important and I hope this article is helpful in finding a hair diffuser that works for you. Using a diffuser on your waves and curls will enhance your curl pattern, reduce frizz, list your roots and give you more shape and volume. It also cuts hair drying time significantly.

How To Choose The Right Hair Diffuser For Your Hair Type.

An important part of any curly or wavy hair routine is having a good hair dryer with a hair diffuser attachment. They are great for reducing drying time when you are in a hurry or you want more definition and volume in your waves and curls.But for some people they are a necessity. Long curly hair can take what seems forever to dry and a diffuser will give you bouncier and more defined curls than air drying. It’s important to buy the right hair diffuser for your hair type. Here are my top picks for hair diffuser for different hair type/length or situation. I mostly air dry my curls but as I have loose curls and waves (2B, 2C type) sometimes when I apply my stylers they can easily become weighed down and flat, so drying with a hair diffuser helps to encourage my curls and gives me both more volume a definition. Also air drying is not practical for everyone time wise so diffusing is the best way to speed up drying your curls or waves. Whenever using heat on your hair it’s a good idea to use a heat protectant first. You can find my favourite heat protectant HERE. Make sure that you have a good quality hair dryer first off, you want one with multiple heat setting or a cool shot button, this means you can dry your hair at a lower heat and prevent damage and frizz. Other features to look for are a long cord (for me this is so I can sit down whilst diffusing!), high voltage (faster drying), Ion technology or ceramic finish (for less frizz).

Investing in a high quality hair dryer is well worth it. As long as you look after the hair dryer the can last you many years so don’t just go for the cheapest option. However, the most expensive are not necessary and you should only go for these ones if you can easily afford it.

Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer With Diffuser.

This Dyson Supersonic Dryer with diffuser attachment is a game changer and although it’s the most expensive (as with any of the Dyson Supersonic Dryer products) it is by far the best quality and it’s well worth the investment in my opinion. The hair diffuser attachment is a bit smaller on this hairdryer but still fits long hair well. The lowest speed and heat settings are perfect for creating defined curls in a very short space of time. This is the main advantage of this hair dryer/diffuser is that it dramatically reduces your drying time compared to other hair dryers without creating frizz or drying out your hair. It’s never a good idea to go outside with wet hair so even if you mostly air dry you can always finish off the last bit with the diffuser or vice versa, start with the hair dryer diffuser and air dry to finish.
