Blow dryer with diffuser attachment needed
I’m looking at Conair, Revlon, or Hot Tools on Amazon because I want to keep the price under $75.
I don’t remember when I last owned a blow dryer that came with a diffuser. I’ve tried a couple from thrift stores that came with a concentrator nozzle. I bought a sock diffuser, a collapsible diffuser, & a so-called universal type, but they never fit right. I wasn’t going to buy dozens more of aftermarket diffusers to try & find any that fit. So I’ve air-dried since then.

Routine:
I wash my hair whenever it’s oily at the roots. I don’t know how often that it is. I use Kirkland Moisture Shampoo. It doesn’t have sulfates. Sometimes I use the Bed Head Dirty Secret Dry Shampoo if I don’t want to walk around with a wet head. About once a month I use JOICO Defy Damage Detox Shampoo & Protective Conditioner.
If my hair feels dry, I condition with Biolage Hydra Source detangling solution after a shampoo. I also have AVEDA nutri plenish leave-in conditioner & Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Leave-In Conditioner I sometimes use.
For styling, I sometimes use either Deva Curl Ultra Defining Gel or Camille Rose Curl Maker Marshmallow & Agave Leaf Extract that I have travel bottles of. I recently decided to try Kitsch Air Dry Cream. And other times I might use Catwalk Texturizing Salt Spray. I’ve been thinking of repurchasing Noodle Head Curling Cream. My hair loved it. I might use an anti-humidity hair spray such as CHI Enviro 54 Hair Spray Hold Level 3, which I have a travel can of. I try to buy small, to not be so wasteful because I usually don’t like anything in my hair. But I made a mistake of buying a giant can of Paul Mitchell Flexible Hold Sculpting Foam. I already had Cake Beauty Whipped Curl Defining & Volumizing Mousse. I should donate one, but can’t decide which.
I do the upward scrunch & sometimes I plop. Usually the microfiber towel falls off my head or I get too hot & remove it. After it air dries I hate the ramen noodle look & feel, & then the yuck on my hands after scrunching the crunch.
I don’t protect my hair while sleeping other than sometimes using Living Proof Perfect Hair Day night cap. Satin pillowcases & bonnets make me hot & the bonnets don’t stay on my head. Silk cases are much too expensive. I’m thinking of buying an adjustable bonnet I saw advertised on social media. I used to wear my hair in a pineapple when it was longer & fuller. But my hair is thinner & short now. I can only do a baby paintbrush. I’ve given away most of my elastics & claws.
If I refresh the morning bed head, it’s with water, or AVEDA rinseless refresh, or Mane ‘n Tail Curls Day Curl Refresher Spray, or Paul Mitchell Taming Spray Kids Detangler.
