DevaCurl DevaFuser, 1ct

I anguished to buy this diffuser after reading all the reviews about it melting or not fitting on the hairdryer, the price, and all the other negative reviews. I eventually bought it and am 100% happy that I did. This is such a great diffuser!On the melting aspect: I wonder what temperature people are setting their hairdryers on to MELT PLASTIC? Hello.....if it is melting plastic, imagine what it is doing to your hair people! The point of any Deva product is to protect hair from damage. I use this several times per week and have had zero issues with melting.On the fabulous diffuser: I love, love, love, LOVE this diffuser! The "fingers" slip into areas of my hair around my head in ways that a traditional diffuser cannot. For example, I can slide it *into* the curls instead of just scrunching them. It gives me great lift at the roots. I use the cool setting on my hairdryer, which isn't cold air, it has some warmth. Often I usually alternate with the warm setting, but if I use that too long then my scalp starts to feel too hot and uncomfortable. I dry my hair about 80% of the way as the manufacturer suggests, then let it air dry the rest of the way. Usually as I drive into work. When I get to work I take out my clips, flip my head over, scrunch my curls......and BAM! Awesome hair day! It took me a few tries to figure out how to use this tool with my hair, at first I was getting crazy '80's hair. Not that I figured it out it works great every time. I have to be careful to keep the diffuser in one place on my head for awhile like the instructions say, as this reduces frizz. If I scrunch my hair too much with the diffuser then it breaks my curl cast and my hair looks a little frizzy. Don't be afraid though, you just have to be patient with your hair and the drying process. I'm a nurse who gets up at the crack of dawn or earlier, and don't have a lot of time to do my hair in the mornings. So don't think I'm putting a lot of effort into this, because I'm not (It's really great).On the fit with my hairdryer: I have a Rusk "deep shine". That's all I know about it. The first few times getting the diffuser on the hair dyer I had to really shove it on, twist it back-and-forth, etc. Now I can get it on easily, but it still fits snugly around the hairdyer. The circumference of my hairdryer is about 6 1/4" and the diameter is just under 2", if that helps anyone.DevaCurl everything has transformed my hair from blah to wowza curls!

I had the older version of the DevaFuser (and blow-dryer). My Deva stylist had it and I loved it. While being there for a cut one time, my son accidentally knocked hers off the counter and busted her dryer. So I gave her mine. I missed it while using a Hot Shot Tools dryer I bought from Sally's and a diffuser. While it was nice, it didn't work like this (gentle without tornado-like speed whipping my curls around into a frizzy mess). When I saw this and that it would work with "most" dryers, I figured I'd give it a try. I read the reviews - one person said it melted...goodness, what kind of dryer do you have? Mine is 1875w, which is pretty high. Anyway, I got this, ripped it out of the box and took it to meet my blow-dryer. They fell in love. This was a little difficult to get over the barrel initially but once I did, it was harmonious unity! I couldn't wait to actually use it. I am a very routine-Deva user (DevaCare No Poo, One Condition, ArcAngel gel mixed with Styling Creme, using the Deva towels or cheese cloth to dry/scrunch, don't wash daily, co-wash in between deep washings, etc.). So this was what my curls needed. While I don't follow the "hold in each spot for two minutes", it still works.I worked the back with getting in a bulk of my hair into it gently and letting it work there for awhile, then moved to the sides. After they got to a drier point, I moved it to the roots gently and blasted with cold air. I use the clips to help with lifting roots. Once my hair completely dries, I can remove the clips, rescrunch hair gently to remove the gel cast and I have soft, shiny, beautiful curls.This DevaFuser is worth it if you are looking to dry your curls carefully. It is pretty universal - I'd assume thicker barrels would be harder to get on it (mine is 1.75"). The band that holds the bottom of the fuser together is a very strong, thick 'rubber-band'. It took some time to work it on, but now that it's on, it's not going anywhere...and that's okay. Make sure you slide it all the way on so there is no loss of air flow through the bottom part of the 'hand'.I'm very happy with it, along with the fast shipping. One of the best investments I've made towards my journey on beautiful curly hair!
