So I got this diffuser cap dryer thing that I was seeing all over Instagram. I wanted to get something that could reduce my drying time a bit. I did my usual routine and kept the the cap on for 35 minutes. I then had to use the diffuser after that for another 30-40 minutes. So overall, it didn’t solve my main issue which was the long drying time. You can’t really move around while wearing this because it would create frizz, so I couldn’t really multitask. I moved the dryer to different sides to try and get an even dry but one side was significantly less dry. I think it also squished my hair into an unnatural position, probably because of the length of my hair. My ends didn’t feel as defined as with a normal diffuser. The amount of frizz is less, which was a plus. I don’t think I’d use it again unless I’m in an extreme hurry and need to do my makeup and hair both. I definitely think my hair length and density impacted the results, so it might work for shorter hair, but can’t say for sure. Hope this helps someone who was contemplating getting this!

So I got a haircut a couple of days ago. I was super scared that I would not be able to replicate the result at home. I think I’m pretty happy with how my hair turned out. The volume definetly is less compared to the salon, but I like the defination on my washday better. What do u guys think?
