Start with soaking-wet, freshly washed hair
Apply leave-in conditioner and curl cream
Add mousse or gel for hold
Use a microfiber towel or cotton T-shirt to remove excess water
Attach a diffuser to your blow dryer
Set the dryer to low heat and low speed
Cup sections of hair into the diffuser
Lift the diffuser toward the scalp
Hold each section in place for several seconds
Move around the head gradually
Avoid touching or scrunching too much while drying
Dry until hair is about 80 to 90 percent dry
Turn off the dryer and let hair air-dry the rest of the way
Finish with a light oil or serum if needed
Avoid high heat and high speed
Avoid diffusing on very wet hair for too long
Avoid over-drying to reduce frizz
