Why I Stopped Pixie Diffusing My Wavy CurlyHair✨ Pixie diffusing works wonders for extra volume, however it frequently caused my hair to dry wonky the closer it got to my root. This is especially true for my bottom layers as they tend to dry in a looser pattern and don’t want to “curl” up into the diffuser (this is totally normally to have multiple patterns!) Cupping my hair has worked so well with my natural wave and encourages it to dry the way it wants to. Here are some of the benefits for me: ➰ More consistency in my pattern and final results ➰ Improved defintion ➰ Decreased frizz as the airflow is directed downward, in the direction of the cuticle ➰ Improved volume at the root ➰ Longer last washdays and less of a need to refresh.
