Embracing your natural hair is a look that never goes out of style.

However, styling and caring for naturally curly hair is no straightforward task. It comes with a multitude of questions: what type of curls do I have? How do I style it? Which products do I need? How should I sleep on my curly hair? Etc, etc.

Thankfully, there are a multitude of sources you can turn to in order to determine just what kind of curly hair you have. For instance, Naturally Curly has a useful texture typing quiz that’ll help guide you out of the curly-haired abyss.

We, on the other hand, are here to help you learn how to properly style and blow-dry your – (hopefully) now classified and typed – curly hair with a fancy little hairdryer attachment called a diffuser. You might have heard of it; you might not have a clue what we're talking about. E either way, we’re going to explain how it works so hang tight if you’re embarking on your curly hair journey.
