How To Get Wavy Hair – 10 Easy Techniques
A diffuser is an excellent approach to get natural-looking curls and wavy hair. According to celebrity stylist Nick Arrojo, “The diffuser removes all of the air from a blow dryer while maintaining all of the heat, which encourages curl expansion.” It will dry curly hair without blowing it, using heat to keep the curl in place. If you have some wave or curl in your hair (which most of us do!) and want to highlight it, a diffuser is an excellent choice.”
Apart from using a diffuser, you can also try different techniques to get beautiful beachy waves. Scroll down to learn more.
