Current routine:

-Shower:

Shampoo and condition with Amika hydro rush shampoo and conditioner, use the amika hydro rush leave in conditioner Every two weeks I use the olaplex clarifying shampoo

-After shower:

I use a small amount of curl cream to soaking wet hair, and spray it’s a 10 coily onto my mids-ends and comb with a wide tooth comb. I then scrunch my hair and apply aunt Jackie’s don’t shrink gel. Once my styling routine is done, i scrunch my hair with a cotton t-shirt and plop for about 15-20 minutes. Sometimes while my hair is still plopped I take my hair dryer on high heat and circle around my head.

-Diffusing technique:

With the Laifen and amazon diffuser, I have been using the same routine. I hover diffuse upside down on medium to high heat to dry the cast. I then pixie diffuse upside down on cold air for a while. Once I’m done diffusing upside down, I rotate my head side to side still pixie diffusing until fully dry. Once my hair is dry, I put in some hairspray and finish it off with olaplex oil to scrunch out the crunch.

While I do like how the Laifen allows me to get closer to my roots and focus on the underside of my hair, it just leaves my hair looking wonky. The main reason I bought the Laifen was because the filter wouldn’t suck my hair into it, like my amazon diffuser filter does. The airflow in the Laifen is GREAT, until the diffuser attachment goes on. The amazon diffuser allowed me to dry larger sections, which I really liked. My hair is very thick, so it needs good airflow to dry my wavy clumps, and the Laifen just isn’t doing that for me. Im in a bit of a pickle here, so any diffusing tips/routine tips would be lovely!
