Beachwaver Co. Hair drying brush for $ 189: This cute blowing brush has a set of attachments that includes a diffuser. This is a solid choice if you want a blow-out brush and a diffuser, but there are cheaper options if you don’t want to dry the brush.

Our favorite products

Each person is different and can take some experience and mistake to get the right diffuser routine. You may want to dry your hair completely or maybe you want to take it up to 80 percent. You may want to leave, curling gel and hair oil, or maybe you just need a little heat protected. These are some products we like to use during our own hairstyle procedures that may be useful for yours.

Turbie Twist Microfiber towel for $ 20: Love Call my hair After the shower for a few minutes to absorb some water before scattering. These microfiber towels are designed to remain placed and they soak a lot of moisture without drying my hair too much. Others swear in a T-shirt with a T-shirt, but that’s what works best for me.Louryn Stame

Model to leave a balm for $ 28 and No Cream for Talk and Gel your mother’s mother for $ 19: I put a globe of a balm for relaxing in my hair after cracking, followed by a palm of curl cream and finally a generous amount of gel. This is what primed my natural curls to make it look the best post-dyfusion. It may be too heavy for some textures of curls, but this is my favorite method. –Louryn Stame

Kristin Ess Style Assist Blow-Dry Mist for $ 12: This is one of the most effective thermal protection I tried that it actually cuts off the drying time-lounging by drying, I can actually say where I sprayed it and where I didn’t. I wish it was so easy to apply as a Milk_shake foam primer, but the bottle still has a decent spray and the product is light enough to leave no residue. –Kat Merk

Milk_shake Lifestyling Blun-Dry Primer for $ 26: This slightly flavored heat defender aims to prevent color fading and reduce drying time. This does not make the latter as efficient as Christine Es, above, but a little goes a long way, but it will shave a few minutes and get high traces to get out of the bottle as an easy-to-apply foam, so it’s a click to make sure you even get a coating. –Kat Merk

Davines this is a gel oil for $ 32: This gentle curly gel oils was fantastic for my fine hair, helping my curls and maintained them moisturized without weighing them or making my hair crispy. It starts to feel like a gel in your hand, then transforms into oil on your hair. It is best to use a diffuser, although I have occasionally used it on air dried days with similar good results. –Unlocked
