easy diffusing tutorial 💓 so you can start embracing your curls in 2025!!
💨✨ I’ve put together two of my fave easy diffusing techniques so you can achieve
minimal frizz and , maximum definition curls!
I generally style using the ‘prep, style, and finish’ method (so I prep with a nourishing or protective product like leave in, style with a brush and gel) and finish with diffusing and an oil usually. I find these steps give me the best results consistently 💖
Im using the @bellissima.uk diffon supreme, and I like to use her at high heat high speed because the temp stays consistent, never too hot and the airflow is really gentle and doesn’t create a lot of frizz during the drying process.
Technique 1:
💓 Hover Diffusing – I hold the @bellissima.uk diffon supreme a few inches away from my curls, and hover the diffuser up and down and around my lengths; never making contact between my curls and the bowl-
💓This really helps to ‘set’ my curls while minimizing frizz and flyaways.
💓I do actually let the bowl in contact with my roots because I want them to dry at a slightly faster pace than the rest of my hair to avoid weighdown and flat roots that stick to my head
Technique 2:
💓 On & Off Technique –this is where i place my lengths and layers into the diffuser bowl whilst its OFF and then I turn it ON once my curls are comfortably in the bowl
💓 this really helps to reduce frizz ive noticed! Doesn’t distribute the curl pattern as much as pixie diffusing!
I used to struggle with curls drying wonky but these techniques help so much! You dont have to use them this precisely forever but they might really help you get a leg up onto your curl journey 🥰
Save this for your next wash day and lemme know if you try 🥰 💕 #CurlyHairTips #DiffusingHacks #DefinedCurls
it DOESN'T grow back thicker ✨ (for me) thanks dad x
SO yes - I have thick curls but that also means = thick hair on my face (and arms and legs too) 😂
I love to go in with a cleansing balm or oil to help me move the blade smoothly and with no snags💖 I also follow with really simple, soothing and hydrating cleansing and skincare to remove and dirt and keep my skin all plump and glowyyy✨
Face mist:
@avene thermal water spray - my FAVE for under skin care, I like applying my moisturising serums and creams onto damp skin and this spray is so convenient! I used to literally splash my face with water 😅 I'm convinced this spray will last me forever haha
Cleansing oil:
@tatcha camellia cleansing oil
Serum:
@axis artichoke barrier serum to help recover the barrier!
Moisturiser:
@cetaphil hydrating night cream (I use it in the day too!!)
I think its genetic, and its always been such an insecurity of mine- especially growing up . Best believe I had a fLUFFY lil moustache growing in by the time I was 9,😌 and the teasing was wild haha
I then went to boots and begged my mama to get me some jolene - so I had a nice lil blonde moustache and sideburns too for a good amount of my teens.🥹 let me know if you relate pleaseeee 😂
Then it was threading, then waxing - I also tried at home laser a few years ago -but now ive found face shaving is working pretty well for me!
It takes a little bit of dead skin off too I find so leave me with such a nice glow after wards, and makeup application is a dream 😍
This is definitely not something that you NEED to incorporate into your routine (especially if you’re really acne prone ) but I’ve found I just love the glow that comes with it over the hair removal part!

squishing my curls like this is my fave😌❤️

Washing like this makes my curls so bouncy omggg 🥰
💖Dont be afraid of shampooing your lengths!! Its so important for removing buildup and cleansing effectively
💖you also don’t wanna miss any areas like the back of your head/ behind your ears, because build up there will = flat, limp curls
💖have you tried shampooing your curls like this? It's so great for removing buildup and bringing back the BOUNCE Oo it's so useful to fix overmoisturised curls too!! - if you have drier hair this should be done more occasionally
Also only do this on hair that is already fully detangled! See my dirty conditioning tutorial for mores✨✨
Shampooing effectivley:
💦can help increase hydration
✨ when your strands are properly cleansed, its way more likely to absorb all the delish butters and oils more effectively
💓give more definition
🪩 helps my curls clump together so much more and brings back the bounce
🍯removes weighdown
🦋 imagine all the curly hair product ingredients (oils, butters, silicones) sitting on your hair - on our scalps it causes more obvious problems like flaking and itchiness but on our lengths its less obvious but still problematic results wise (flat, limp curls that won’t hold or last)
🛁balanced scalp
🧼 this is one of the bigggggest things - you need a healthy scalp as a healthy base for your curls to grow from! Properly cleansing is so important for maintaining this balance
lemme know if you’d give this a go or if you need shampoo recs🥰

curly hair= my therapy 😌💆🏽♀️☁️
Every lil brush style, shampoo lather, finger roll quiets my brain a lil and is so therapeutic for me 🔮
I feel like my curls aren’t just hair for me (and for so many of you im sure), its a form of self love and self acceptance 💓I see so many of your dm’s telling me the same thing and lemme just tell you I am here to give you all the curly advice I can possibly give, all the advice I wish I had as a teen/ early 20’s
I used to try to 'hate' my hair away, and wish one day by some form of sorcery that it would magically grow out of my scalp straight. Mad because now I wouldn't change it for the world 🥹🪬
I feel so much more love and acceptance in myself through taking the time to care for my curlies, it's a form of therapy for me 🩷

blue skala full curl reviewwww 🩵
So many of you wanted the styling tutorial / what I did once I got out of the bath for my @skalacosmeticos wash day so here we go! It’s a curl creme/gel/conditioner ( it’s multitasking! Ive seen so many curls using this and I just HADDDD to try and I can confirm it is insaneeee for lightweight moisture 💖
It’ got a really nice amount of slip and helped encourage my curls to clump so so well and made detangling a breeze. It’s gonna be an absolute GO TO for me in the warmer months. I love it now too but I topped with a hairspray and finished with an oil for a moisture boost and longevity I think!!
Im obsessed with the results!! Soft, juicy hold and lightweight moisture! 🩵
It’s a lil tricky to source in the uk but I ordered from @amazon, it came really quick and BOY it was worth it! 💓 (make sure to check all the reviews of the seller before you buy)
What’re your thoughts on my results?! Or the blue Skala if you’ve tried it yourself!
Let me know which @skalacosmeticos mask/creme/gel to try next!! 🥰

How to go from frizzy ➡️ defined ✨
my curls used to be so stringy and frizzy when I did these things 🥹 so much of getting your curls to be bouncy and defined is TECHNIQUE and knowing how to use your products and tools 🫶🏽
Once I introduced brush styling into my routine let me tell you my curls LEVELLED UP and when I RIBBON CURLED the game was changed for me- the bounce is unreal 😂🩷
💡Tips to avoid stringy and frizzy curls:
❤️ STOP aggressively scrunching your products in without sectioning and hoping for the best pls - you'll get a lot of angry frizz by doing this!
❤️ STOP brushing straight down
💚 START ribbon curling which is basically -
💞 brushing slightly slower with tension applied - try a boar bristle brush to smooth your curls and reduce frizz
❤️ STOP scrunching your product all over without sectioning (especially if your hair is thicker) - it'll give an uneven distribution of product so some areas will be frizzy without hold
💞 try glazing your gel over gently so you don't disturb the curls and also so they all get an even coating of product
Let me know if you try any of these techniques and if they help you!🥰

paired with gel this is chefs KISS 🥰
one of my fave ways to increase curl definition and reduce frizz is by finger rolling!! I don't do it every wash day but oh it's so perfect for the days that I want juicy defined ringlets!
STEPS👇🏽
🍒 1. Secure section between index and middle finger of RIGHT hand
🍒 2. Place index finger of LEFT hand above right hand
🍒 3. Start roll by removing RIGHT index finger and tucking under LEFT index finger with RIGHT middle finger
🍒 4. Roll roll rollllll
🍒 5. Remove finger and release your rolled and defined curl!
💡 keep hair SOAKING wet
💧 keep a continuous mister / water spray handy
💡apply a product with lots of SLIP to your index fingers
💧 this will help your fingers glide through the hair and make rolling that little bit smoother and stop them getting stuck!!!!
Let me know if you think you'll try for that extra juicinessss 🩷🥰

It’s also got a really decent amount of slip meaning Its absolutely fab for detangling too. I think this is gonna be an absolute GO TO for me in the warmer months. I love it now too but would top with a hair spray and finish with an oil for a moisture boost and longevity I think!!
