Hair Dryer Attachments

I mentioned in my previous post that I was going to talk about hair dryer attachments since I talked about a hair dryer. Now there are various types of hair dryer attachments but the ones above are the most common: they are the diffuser (which is in the upper left hand corner), the concentrator (lower left corner), and the pick (right side). These attachments come in variations but they usually all look like the ones in the image. Their design can be kind of weird especially if you haven't seen them before, when I saw one of these attachments before I very confused. What in the world is this? What would you use this for? Attachments are usually very light weight this is because you wouldn't want a huge amount of added weight to a blow dryer. Some blow dryers can be a bit heavy although lately companies have been working to fix this issue; if you have one of these blow dryers and if you have a heavy attachment, then your hand is going to be very tired by the time you are done blow drying. Attachments are usually made out of plastic which is cheap and very lightweight. Each attachment has a purpose of how it is build, from its design to how they let the air out.

The Diffuser:

It is a bowl shaped attachment that is used for wavy, curly, or kinky hair ( I'm calling all of these hair types, curly hair). It has those big teeth so that it doesn't destroy the curl formation and pattern. It also has various tiny holes where the air flows thru because in this way the air isn't harsh and doesn't create frizz, which in curly hair it is very easy to do. The bowl shape is so that you can cup in various strands of hair making the hair more easy to dry but without the frizz.

The Concentrator:

It almost looks like a vacuum or a vacuum attachment. The concentrator concentrates heat in a specific part of the hair. Its design helps with this because the air flows almost in a line because of the nozzle's shape.

The Pick:

This comb attachment is used to create volume in your hair. The long and thin teeth that this attachment has helps create volume when you are combing your hair in an upward motion. The air that the blow dryer gives to the hair helps create even more volume because of the attachments opening in the middle.

These are the most common attachments. Attachments come in weird shapes but each of them serves a purpose.
