air dry girly for life! diffusing always gives me frizz and I don't have the patience for it
-
I am an air dry girl, purely for time reasons. I can go about my day as it dries, whereas if I diffused it that would be 30-40 minutes of my day which would mean getting up earlier to include the diffusing time, and I don't think I can do that as I already get up at 5am!!! I am happy air drying and I am so pleased you did a video on it. I would love to see a full air dry routine for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I like the diffused side better, which eliminates frizz and creates more volume. Your hair looks amazing both ways... like a beachy Mermaid. 😊
-
I really like the air dried side of your beautiful hair. The curls may not be as big but I noticed the smaller curls go up all the way to your scalp giving it a much more natural look. Anyone can curl their hair but natural curls are the absolute best! I have long thick hair so use both methods depending on time and how I feel. Feel blessed to have naturally curly hair!! 🥰
-
I diffuse my hair most of the time, but don't mind air drying sometimes. Because it takes longer to dry in winter time, its best to diffuse then. In the summertime its also good to let it naturally dry, because it takes less longer to dry. A good tip if you shower in the evening and style your hair then. If you use gel, put your hair up in a silk bonnet, and scrunch out the gel cast in the morning. The gel will also keep the curls in place over night, for you when you scrunch it out in the morning! 🥰
-
I typically prefer to diffuse as my hair is a little more wavy and I can get a little more definition when I diffuse. Also, I tend to touch my hair a lot more when I air dry. Your hair is so beautiful either way.
-
I do a bit of both tbh. I set the gel, dry the roots and some of the slower drying 'middle' bits, then let the length air dry if I can. I finish it off with the diffuser. This gives me the best results, oddly enough! 😊
-
I loved the side by side comparison. I always air dry and it takes HOURS (probably 3-4 hrs) for my hair to dry. Maybe I should diffuse my hair instead😜
-
Team diffuse! 😊 I love these side by side videos. Thank you! ❤
-
my hair takes forever to dry. I end up letting my gel cast up in the car ride to school with the AC blasting, typically a 45 min drive lol
-
The diffused side does look more "perfect", like picture ready. The air deied side looks very good though, extremely good as well, looks like a good normal natural curly hair look
-
First time using the curlsmith with thin wavy hair. Attempted the drying the roots at a low setting and it gave me fuzzy hair at top. Product may have weight down hair too. Will have to see the end result once it’s dry. I have air dried before but not with a leave in conditioner.
-
Always diffuse. My hair is fine with medium density so it actually takes me about 15 minutes to diffuse then I let the rest air dry as I do my makeup.
-
I air dry and I love it!
-
I usually wash in the morning when working from home. I'll diffuse for as long as I can and just leave my hair be (it will air dry the rest of the way while I'm working). If I have something to do after my workday is done, I'll SOTC; if not I'll leave the gel cast on as it will break by itself overnight. My current favourite styling combo is the Featherlight Protein Cream with the Curl Retainer + Flawless Finish Strong Hold once dried.
-
Air drying for me. I’m lazy😊
-
When I diffuse……I have more volume and bounce. I air dry most of the time though. 😊
-
I have to diffuse. My air dry hair is just barely wavy
-
I air dry but the best one is for sure those old hair dryers that is like a helmet you sit under.
-
My hair looks nice after diffusing but it just takes sooooo long for me (over 30mins). Even got a new hairdryer and diffuser head last year
