The diffuser is a special nozzle for a hair dryer. It looks like a wide disk, usually concave, with so-called "fingers."They can differ in length, be plastic or silicone. At their base are holes, through which air enters. This design allows you to not only dry your hair, but also beautifully lay them without using other devices.

If we use them for weakened, fragile strands, that is, the risk of losing a significant part of them. In such cases, it is worthwhile to give preference to sparse spikes, and it is desirable that they be made of plastic, and not of silicone.
