Look no further. Two hair pros who specialize in curl care share the best techniques and tools to use.\u00a0<\/em>\r\n\r\nSo you&#8217;ve found the right products for your curls, yet somehow still end up with a frizzy, undefined mane. As a 4c girl myself, I understand the frustration. But, it&#8217;s important to remember to love your kinks and coils\u2014frizz and all! Thanks to my curl specialist, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/msberrybacon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christina Poitier<\/a> of <a href=\"https:\/\/southerncurlatl.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Southern Curl Inc.<\/a> in Atlanta, Georgia, I have a new diffuser technique that helped hydrate and elongate my coils for even more love.\r\n\r\nHere are some of her game-changing tips on how to dry natural hair.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"665e4c\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #665e4c;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20461 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Best-Way-to-Dry-Natural-Hair-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Curly natural 4c hair dried in the best way for volume\" width=\"770\" height=\"718\" \/>\r\n<h2>First, Consider A Hooded Dryer<\/h2>\r\nWith relaxed hair, sitting under a hooded dryer is expected at home and at the salon.\u00a0However, <a href=\"https:\/\/southerncurlatl.com\/stylists\/robin-sjoblom\/\">Robin Sjoblom<\/a>, owner of Southern Curl Inc., says that curly hair types can also benefit from sitting under a hooded dryer\u2014especially dense 4c curls.\r\n\r\n&#8220;All hair responds better under the hood dryer because of how it dries the hair,&#8221; Robin explains.\r\n\r\n&#8220;Depending on the density of hair in the 4c range and [your] home maintenance regimen, you&#8217;ll see more defined curls when you sit under a dryer versus diffuse drying,&#8221; she shares. &#8220;The ionic hood dryer gives you evenly distributed air,&#8221; meaning that neither the air nor your curls move around. &#8220;It allows the hair to set evenly, and the product has the opportunity to penetrate the hair shaft.&#8221;\r\n\r\nFor that reason, &#8220;I think all curl girls should have a hood dryer for their self-care hair day,&#8221; she says.\r\n\r\nStill, diffusing has its own styling merits.\r\n<h2>use a diffuser for volume<\/h2>\r\nIf big hair is your ultimate goal, Sjoblom recommends diffusing.\r\n\r\n&#8220;If you want to see more definition and let your curls expand over time, then the ionic hood dryer is your friend,&#8221; she advises. But &#8220;if you want defined curls with more blow-up fullness, use your ionic blow dryer <em>and<\/em> [a] diffuser.&#8221;\r\n\r\nJust know that what type of blow dryer and the technique you use on your hair will largely determine the end result.\r\n\r\n&#8220;Products matter, [but] a good blow dryer makes a big difference,&#8221; she says.\r\n<h2>How to dry Natural Hair with a diffuser<\/h2>\r\nHere&#8217;s the best way to dry natural hair with a diffuser for volume:\r\n<h3>1. time your product correctly<\/h3>\r\nThe road to hydrated, defined curls starts before you even think about drying your hair. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/hair-care-ingredients\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">products you select<\/a> are one of the major components. However, timing of product application is also key.\r\n\r\nIf you&#8217;re like me and have low-porosity hair, Christina recommends applying products only when the hair makes a &#8220;squish&#8221; sound. When you work product from root to tip, that sound is an indicator that your hair is wet enough to layer the products for an optimal result.\r\n<h3>2. Use the LOC Method<\/h3>\r\nRobin recommends the LOC method for ordering your hair products. Start with a leave-in conditioner or liquid, then apply any oils, and use cream last.\r\n\r\nTo prevent frizz, she advises adding a sealer, such as a gel or light holding liquid. In my case, we used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.originalmoxie.com\/pop-life-volumizing-mousse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Original Moxie Pop Life Volumizing Mousse<\/a> to seal in moisture.\r\n<h3>3. gently diffuse<\/h3>\r\nAs you begin drying your hair, hold the hair dryer in the same area for a good minute or so. At this point, avoid agitating the curls. (Too much movement while drying initially will cause frizz.)\r\n<h3>4. Add Volume<\/h3>\r\nOnce your hair is at least 80 percent dry, <em>then<\/em> Robin says you can start flipping your hair forward and back to build up the volume of your curls.\r\n\r\n<img data-dominant-color=\"6f4e37\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #6f4e37;\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20462 aligncenter not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Best-Way-to-Dry-4c-Hair-How-to-Dry-Natural-Hair-The-Wellnest-by-HUM-Nutrition.jpg\" alt=\"Showing off the results from the best way to dry natural hair for volume\" width=\"770\" height=\"830\" \/>\r\n<h3>5. make sure it&#8217;s set<\/h3>\r\nOnce your hair dries, Robin says you should feel a cast or shield on your coils. By then, you&#8217;ll know that your curls have set.\r\n\r\nIf you prefer to break the crunch later on, you can apply a light conditioning spray. Simply scrunch the product into the hair to add shine and soften your set. Personally, I like to do this on day two.\r\n\r\nIf you&#8217;d rather take this step during the actual drying and styling process, Robin says you can &#8220;increase the heat for penetration, but still don&#8217;t move the heat button all the way up.&#8221;\r\n<h2>How Long Will it Last?<\/h2>\r\nIf you follow the natural hair drying steps outlined above, your set should last four to seven days depending on your lifestyle.\r\n\r\nLuckily, I discovered that it truly is the best way to dry 4c hair. My style lasted for five full days, longer than any washday I\u2019ve had as a natural.\n<div  class=\"products-block -mx-4 md:mx-0 my-10\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humnutrition.com\/product\/1\/red-carpet\" class=\"text-xs text-dark hover:!text-dark flex items-center border border-light rounded p-4 group !no-underline mb-4 relative pb-16 sm:pb-4\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"shrink-0 mr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.humnutrition.com\/assets\/82324f20-7ede-11f0-a0ef-c10dbf4f15a4.png\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" class=\"object-cover transition-opacity group-hover:opacity-80 !mb-0\" alt=\"Red Carpet\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"grow pr-4\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2 flex flex-col sm:flex-row sm:items-center divide-x-0 sm:divide-x divide-light text-sm\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 pr-2 flex\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"flex mr-1\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m11.532 4.697 4.353.663c.36.053.664.316.828.64.066.397 0 .791-.288 1.06l-3.157 3.193.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 1-.39.978c-.3.188-.698.25-1.022.072l-3.888-2.14-3.889 2.14c-.327.178-.724.116-1.024-.072a1.008 1.008 0 0 1-.388-.978l.745-4.581L1 7.06C.713 6.79.646 6.397.713 6c.162-.324.464-.587.827-.64l4.35-.663L7.842.563c.16-.344.5-.563.87-.563.372 0 .711.219.872.563z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"mr-1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"17\" height=\"16\"><path d=\"m8.713 3 1.54 3.61 3.46.58L11.207 10l.588 4-3.082-1.878zm4.555 7.253 3.157-3.193c.288-.269.354-.663.288-1.06-.164-.324-.467-.587-.828-.64l-4.353-.663L9.584.562A.965.965 0 0 0 8.713 0a.965.965 0 0 0-.871.562L5.89 4.697l-4.35.663c-.363.053-.665.316-.827.64-.067.397 0 .791.287 1.06l3.157 3.193-.745 4.581a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .388.978c.3.188.697.25 1.024.072l3.889-2.14 3.888 2.14c.324.178.721.116 1.021-.072a1.01 1.01 0 0 0 .391-.978z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4.7\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pt-1 sm:pl-2 text-medium\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t441 Reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"text-base font-semibold mb-1 group-hover:text-primary\">Red Carpet<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"mb-2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tvitamins for glowing skin + shiny hair\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"absolute bottom-4 left-4 right-4 sm:bottom-0 sm:left-0 sm:right-0 sm:relative inline-flex justify-center bg-primary group-hover:bg-primary-light text-white rounded py-3 px-12 leading-none text-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"pr-1.5 border-r border-primary-lightest\">$27<\/span><span class=\"pl-1.5\">SHOP NOW<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"self-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seeking the best way to dry natural hair for curl definition or volume?
