If you are unhappy with your results when you diffuse… it might be the techniques you’re using. If your goal is to get volume, root life, more shape, and prevent wonky curls, try these tweaks.

These are 3️⃣ of the most common mistakes I see my coaching clients making - and how to fix them!

❌ Diffusing soaking wet hair
✅ Microplop to remove excess water, add extra gel if needed, then diffuse

❌ Scooping hair carelessly or gathering too much, causing bends and misshapen curls
✅ Making sure hair sits neatly in the diffuser and is evenly scrunched

❌ Diffusing upright only if your goal is volume
✅ Lean far enough to the side or upside down to gather the hair from the ends to the roots

Have you experienced any of these? What will you do differently next time? ⬇️

📲 If you want more personalized help with your routine or hands-on guidance and feedback on your diffusing technique, DM me “GROUP” on IG for information about my group coaching program and to sign up for the waitlist!

The full Diffusing Mistakes & How to Fix Them video is on my channel.

Top 3 Diffusing Mistakes ❌

Full video is on my channel + diffuser linked on this Short.

I styled both sides of my hair with the exact same products and same routine — the only thing I changed was my diffusing technique 👀

The result? One side has better root lift, curl definition, and hold...
The other? Frizzier, flatter, and way less shape.

✨ If your curls aren’t turning out the way you want after diffusing, this might be why.

In my new video, I walk you through the most common diffusing mistakes I see — and how to fix them — with a real-time split test so you can actually see the difference.

The Power of Diffusing Techniques 😱

Is extra effort worth it?! Not needing to refresh is pretty nice. Full video is in my channel!
I did a quick & easy routine to compare to my usual routine and this was what I found:

🌀 QUICK ROUTINE 🌀
No sections
Raked gel in, tried to apply a thoroughly as I could without sectioning
Styled a few problem areas quickly with brush styling, finger coling, and praying hands
Microplopped + extra glaze of gel
Diffused & scrunched out the crunch

→ Results from Quick Routine:
More frizz within and on top
More elongated or wonky pieces
Required more refreshing

🌀 FULL/THOROUGH ROUTINE 🌀
Sectioned
Raked gel in sections from root to tip
Styled each section briefly with either brush styling, finger coling, or praying hands
Microplopped + extra glaze of gel
Diffused & scrunched out the crunch

→ Results from Full/Thorough Routine:
Not much frizz
More definition
More curl retention
Did not require refreshing

Only you can decide if putting in more time and effort on wash day is truly worth it.

Try both routines and see how they affect your waves or curls. Then come back and tell me - which one worked better for you?

💬 Products linked on the full video where I do a complete quick & easy (beginner friendly) curly routine and share my results, including on day 2.
