The best way to dry curly bangs is by using a diffuser on a low air setting.
Here's a breakdown of why and how:
-
Why a Diffuser? A diffuser attachment spreads the airflow from your hair dryer, minimizing frizz and maintaining your curl pattern. This is crucial for curly hair, especially delicate bangs.
-
Low Air Setting is Key: High heat and strong airflow can disrupt the curl pattern, leading to frizz and undefined curls. A low setting provides gentle drying.
-
Technique Matters:
- Use your fingertips to lift and separate the curls as you dry them with the diffuser. This promotes volume and prevents the bangs from clumping together.
- Avoid touching the curls too much as they dry, as this can create frizz.
- You can try "plopping" your bangs by gently scrunching them into a microfiber towel or t-shirt after washing, before diffusing, to further define the curl pattern.
-
Product Considerations:
- Apply a curl-defining product, like a mousse or gel, to your bangs while they are still wet. This helps to enhance and hold the curl shape.
- Make sure the product is lightweight so it doesn't weigh the bangs down.
In summary, drying curly bangs effectively involves using a diffuser on a low air setting, gently lifting the curls with your fingertips to promote volume and separation, and using lightweight curl-defining products. This approach helps to maintain definition and minimize frizz.
