What are all these parts?

Knowing your hair tools and hair products is one of the most important hacks you can learn. Many people will buy hair products without knowing exactly how to use them, therefore they may think a product doesn’t work when in reality they might not be using it correctly. Same goes for your hair tools. Sure, most people know the jist of what a blow dryer does, but here’s a little tip on what some of the attachments are used for to help you when it comes to styling your own hair.

• Using no attachment - usually used for a quick dry but those who have finer hair can actually benefit from not using a nozzle. By round brushing your hair with no attachment on the blowdryer, this creates more airflow through the hair which can create more fullness and kink for finer hair.

• Concentrater- these are used to concentrate airflow to a specific area of your hair which will create a smoother and shinier look. A dryer can come with more than one concentrator, usually different sizes, to give you a choice of preference.

• Comb attachment- This makes it easy to blow through the hair smoothly and still create volume as the "pick" creates height at the root. This is also a great tool to dry coarser hair with, as it combs and smooths at the same time. Because you don’t need another tool when using this attachment, it’s made easy for someone to style their own hair with.

• Diffuser- This is the bowl shaped attachment. It lowers the intensity of the blow dryer's air flow, which ultimately helps reduce frizz. This is great for drying wavy or curly hair just for those reasons. To get the best results, dry hair using a diffuser while your hair is flipped upside down for voluminous curls. When you use a diffuser, be sure to use more product on your hair beforehand to compensate for any frizz that the blow dryer may create.
