If you managed to get acquainted with the article we previously presented, which discussed how to choose a hair dryer, today the site “Thing” will expand the boundaries of your knowledge and tell you which hair dryer attachments can be its components.
In view of the fact that almost every model of hair dryer presented on the modern household appliances market is equipped with at least one attachment from a great variety, in order to use this or that device it is necessary to determine its functions.
Rules for using a hairdryer
If you prefer to dry your hair not naturally, but with a hairdryer, then you should know that it is unacceptable to use it on wet hair . Before drying, absorb any excess moisture present on your hair with a towel, then comb the strands with a wide-tooth comb, and, of course, apply mousse or some other styling product of your choice.
Hair is dried with a hairdryer located at a 20-centimeter distance from the head. This process begins with the top strands by lifting them with your fingers or a comb-brush.
Kinds
Types of diffusers are selected based on hair type and length:
- large hair dryer attachments with a wide bowl diameter and short “fingers” are used for quick styling - the larger the bowl, the larger the area of the head it occupies and the faster it dries;
- diffusers in the form of small or medium-sized discs with long spikes with holes are used for volume, as well as for working with thick, long hair (the longer the spikes, the more hair they can capture);
- attachments with rare teeth are a must-have for thin, weakened, highly tangled strands (they will not pull out hair);
- diffusers with covers can also be used as a dryer;
- soft diffusers can be used as a climazone attachment for a hair dryer - they convert the air flow into heat and far-infrared radiation, creating natural curls and protecting hair from drying out.

Nozzles in the form of concentrators
It is difficult to imagine a hair dryer that does not have a concentrator, because these attachments are components for each hair dryer model . They are a cylindrical figure, hollow from the inside and flattened towards the end, which is placed on the hair dryer with its base. Concentrators allow you to direct air masses in a given direction (thereby preventing air dispersion and ensuring faster drying of hair).
When choosing a professional hair dryer, be sure to look at its concentrator , because just by looking at this component, you can conclude whether the equipment in front of you is professional or not.
Each concentrator, intended for professional use, has standard dimensions - length 50-74 mm, width 60-90 mm. If you use a hairdryer whose concentrator width exceeds 10 mm (on the flattened side), you can forget about the gentle effect of this device on your hair.
The condition of your hair directly depends on how narrow the walls are in this type of attachment. As a rule, many hairdressers prefer very narrow concentrators in their work , which allow each strand of hair to be perfectly styled. But you shouldn’t turn a blind eye to the disadvantages that exist in narrow varieties of attachments, namely: a negative effect on the hair structure and the possibility of getting a slight scalp burn.
The main sign of a non-professional hair dryer, according to the website 6tu4ka.ru, is the wide and short hair dryer concentrator attachments included in most travel and low-cost models.
As for professional hairdressing equipment, the concentrator not only has the correct dimensions, but can also rotate. This is necessary so that you can comfortably hold the hair dryer in your hands while changing the direction of the air masses. However, even if the nozzle is in a static position, check how well it is secured . Sometimes you may notice that not every concentrator attachment is properly attached to the hair dryer; some of them have the unpleasant property of falling out of the device at the most inopportune moment.
Diffuser nozzles
The diffuser nozzle looks like a wide tube tapering towards the base, which fits directly onto the hair dryer. This device, like a sieve, passes, filters and disperses powerful air masses emanating from the hair dryer, thereby sparing your hair.
Attachments for some hair dryer models can also be represented by elongated “tubercles” rounded towards the tips, which, when drying hair, slightly lift it, giving volume to the hair - this is, in any case, what representatives of some hair dryer manufacturing companies broadcast from screens and advertising brochures .
Of course, thanks to diffusers, you can dry hair of any length very quickly , but their ability to add volume and fullness to your hair, let’s say, is questionable. Even if, heeding the admonitions of advertising, you bring the diffuser close to your hair and scroll it a little so that it captures as much hair as possible, the styling will look not voluminous, but sloppy (this is, in any case, claimed by those who worked with a diffuser). And the “tubercles”, when heated, can cause a burn to the scalp.
If you decide to experiment with using a diffuser as a means of adding volume to your hair, then pay close attention to the length of the “tubercles” (or “fingers”): a short length is clear evidence that this accessory is intended exclusively for drying hair. But with the long “fingers” that some hair dryer attachments are equipped with, it may be possible to add volume to your hair.
Hairdressers and stylists may recommend using a diffuser attachment for women who prefer perms. However, in this difficult matter, so that the result does not become a cause of grief, practice is necessary. True (compared to a concentrator), a diffuser has a more gentle effect on the hair.
If you want your hair to look great and not break, buy a hairdryer equipped with a Twist diffuser , which, when turning, grabs several curls of hair and thoroughly dries each of them.
Hair dryer brush attachments
The nozzle, represented by a brush, has a round shape and is equipped with holes through which warm air escapes while drying the hair. It is worth noting that hair dryer models that contain this type of attachment are, as a rule, not intended for professional use , due to the fact that their power leaves much to be desired.
Briefly about the main thing, or what this or that brush attachment is intended for
- a universal round brush equipped with plastic teeth - allows you to transform your hair into curls;
- comb attachment - allows you to dry your hair and give it the desired volume;
- wide diameter comb – designed for drying and styling hair;
- a round brush equipped with natural bristles – gives hair shine during drying;
- a brush in which the teeth are hidden - allows you to create perfect curls;
- universal curling iron – designed for curling hair;
- small diameter curling iron - designed for curling very small curls;
- The attachment is in the form of a half rounded brush – straightens even chemically curled hair.
To prevent your hair dryer from drying out your hair while drying, pay attention to hair dryer attachments, which, if used correctly, can serve you well.

Hair dryer attachments
Just twenty years ago, you could only dry your hair with a hairdryer - a stream of hot air was used for this. Modern hair dryer attachments have made it a complex multifunctional device with many capabilities. Using various hair dryer attachments, you can easily do your hair at home, spending a minimum of time and achieving excellent results.
How to do your hair at home using a hairdryer 17903
Depending on functionality, all modern hair dryers are divided into three groups: diffusers, concentrators and stylers.
Simple and important hair dryer attachments: concentrators
Hair dryer attachments, which are commonly called concentrators, are among the most common. Slit-shaped hair dryer attachments create a highly targeted air flow. Using this model, you can dry individual strands of hair, gradually styling them into the hairstyle you want.
At the same time, the main thing when choosing nozzles for a hair dryer is to choose a concentrator with a slot of the required width. If the nozzle width is less than 7 mm, your hair will dry faster, but you risk burning your hair and even your skin. Hairdryer attachments with a nozzle width of more than 1 cm allow you to gently dry and style your hair. If the gap is too wide, there is a risk that the hair will become tangled when drying and will be difficult to style. The optimal nozzle width is from 1 to 1.5 cm.

The concentrator is considered the most universal attachment: with its help you can dry hair curled in curlers, or you can straighten the strands by helping yourself with a comb. When using this hair dryer, it is important to maintain a temperature that is comfortable for your hair so as not to dry it out.
Hair volume attachments: diffusers
Such hair dryer attachments not only dry your hair, but also make your hair look more voluminous. They have a bell shape and are the exact opposite of the described concentrators. The bell has “fingers” tubes with holes that successfully massage the scalp and also distribute air flows more evenly between the strands. At the same time, the hair at the roots rises, which gives your hair extra volume.

The main advantage that these hair dryer attachments have is the ability to dry your hair faster. Equally important is that styling with a diffuser allows you to give your hair fullness.
Multifunctional hair dryer attachments: stylers
In this case, hair dryer attachments help to perform styling, that is, modeling the hairstyle. They come in brushes of various shapes and sizes. If you learn how to use a hair dryer correctly, you can easily create even a fairly complex hairstyle in literally a matter of minutes. A variety of hair dryer attachments included in the kit allow you to curl, straighten and dry your hair in the most favorable way.
Such hair dryers are less powerful compared to their counterparts. This feature can be explained quite simply: the stylers come into contact with the hair very tightly, and with high power of the device they could cause a lot of trouble, for example, damaging the hair or burning the scalp.

Modern manufacturers create a wide variety of attachments for hair dryers, competing with each other in the perfection of their devices. Using hair dryer attachments, every woman can simulate any hairstyle - large “Hollywood” curls or small flirty curls, a lush mop or slightly curly hair of a natural look - this list can be continued almost indefinitely.
Doing your hair with a hairdryer
Curlers + hair dryer . The simplest hairstyle, for which you will need concentrator attachments for a hair dryer, is done using curlers. You need to wrap strands pre-moistened with styling gel on them, and then dry them with a hairdryer using cold air. Then the curlers are removed. Now tilt your head and slightly dishevel the resulting curls, pulling them out with your hands and giving the hairstyle the desired shape.
Laying with a diffuser . It is understood that wet hair must first be blotted with a towel. Now comb your hair with a sparse comb, rub foam into it or spray with fixative. Using hair dryer diffusers, dry only the top strands first, while combing them with your fingers. At the same time, use low or medium heat so as not to injure your hair. Finally, all that remains is to dry the lower strands a little, and the hairstyle is ready.
Intricate curls with a styler . Using a hair dryer attachment such as a styler, you can create any curls on your head. To make them horizontal, separate one strand, hold it with a styler and, keeping an eye on its horizontal position, curl the selected section of hair. After 1-2 minutes, you can remove the strand from the curling iron. If your goal is to straighten unruly curls, you need to act differently. Divide your hair into large curls, each of which needs to be pulled through the styler to the very ends.
In a word, doing your hair at home using a variety of hair dryer attachments is not at all difficult. The main thing is patience!
