We all know that moment when our curls look magnificent right after shampooing. They are well designed, flexible and full of spring. Then comes drying. And then, frizz sets in, strands swell and our pretty curls lose their definition. As for letting them dry naturally in the middle of winter, you sometimes have to be patient.
Fortunately, we spotted a little nugget that could change our habits. It is from Bellissima, the Italian brand known for its styling tools. This time, she took a closer look at curly hair, with her Diffon Ceramic hot air diffuser. And how it works really deserves our attention.
Why is curly hair so difficult to dry?
With curls, everything often comes down to drying time. Their spiral shape makes it more difficult for sebum to distribute to the ends, which explains why they often tend to be dry. And when the hairdryer blows too powerfully, it separates the strands. The secret to preserving beautiful curls? Avoid handling them too much while drying. Because once their shape is drawn, it is better to leave them alone (even if you are tempted to run your fingers through them).
Bellissima, the secret to drying that respects curls
With its Diffon Ceramic, Bellissima had a rather clever idea. Unlike classic models, this is not a hair dryer with an attachment to attach. Here, the diffuser is directly integrated into the device. And that changes a lot of things. Its ceramic technology distributes heat evenly. The breath remains gentle to avoid scattering the strands in all directions. The brand has also provided 12 long pins, which accommodate the hair during drying. Enough to help the curls keep their natural shape and their nice bounce.
Beautiful curls without spending hours in front of the mirror
Another good point, the Bellissima diffuser is very easy to use. After shampooing, apply your usual styling treatment to damp lengths. Then we delicately place the curls in the diffuser before raising it towards the roots. The idea is to dry without breaking their definition. With its two temperature and speed settings, you adapt the drying according to your hair. On very thick hair, you may need a little more patience. But for those who want to find soft, voluminous and well-shaped curls, this little invention is sure to appeal. Especially when you know the battle that a simple shampoo can represent.
What is the difference between the Bellissima Diffon and a classic hair dryer?
The Diffon Bellissima is a stand-alone device, with a directly integrated diffuser. Its gentle airflow has been designed to dry curly hair without spreading the strands too much. Unlike the concentrated blast of a classic hair dryer, it helps maintain definition.
How to avoid frizz while drying curly hair?
The little secret is not to touch your curls too much. After applying a defining cream or styling gel, place them delicately in the diffuser. We prefer moderate heat and avoid shaking the strands. Enough to preserve their shape (and limit unpleasant surprises).
Is the Bellissima diffuser suitable for very curly or frizzy hair?
Yes, it can be used on different textures of curls, even very tight ones. Its gentle air flow allows the lengths to be dried without excessively tousling them. However, on frizzy or particularly dense hair, drying may take longer.
