So glad I found this! My hair is growing out and I need to dry it before leaving for work in the morning. You're right, most videos feature women with long hair.

Thank you so much my dear! You’ve inspired this 59 year old lady to try using a hair diffuser because it is very hard to find one for women of color. I enjoyed your video and thank you so very much for all of your tips.

I use a wonderful product for my wash and go but I am still trying to learn the proper way to diffuse my short 4C hair which takes so long to dry - and your video made your technique easy to follow and understand. i plan to try it on Monday (my shampoo day) and will share your video with friends who want to know as well. Thank you for this wonderfully detailed and informative video. We needed it!

[@sweetbelizeangyal]

Thank you so much for sharing this. Was scouring YT on how to use a diffuser on a twa and all I could find were the ladies with the big voluminous head of curls. This was very helpful. Your curls are popping and gorgeous, that Aunt Jackies curling gel is the business and a favourite of mine as well.

[@AishaBeau]

sweetbelizeangyal so glad this was helpful! Thank you so so much! And yas! Aunt Jackie’s gel is literally the best!

Thank you... My hair is just 1 inch and the diffuser really defines my curls. I wanted to cut it off but my diffuser arrived today and it looks great... way less frizzy. I think I will last through this grow out after wards. Thank you. PS you look like my daughter...

Oh yes, this is exactly the kind of video I was searching for!! Thank you for making this video, you gave me all the info and inspiration I need to invest in a diffuser for my natural hair, which right now is short/medium length, with a combination of curls and coils! I wanna start using a diffuser for my hair when I start rocking my natural hairstyles again. Your curls came out gorgeous and amazing!!!

[@stephactiveveggiebyrd4275]

Lil sis, GURLLL.... your curls are just doing the most!! Lol! Thank you for sharing. I’m stuck here in Kuwait, but any day my brush should arrive in the mail, and then my defuser blow dryer, and then I will FINALLY get to see if my hair will respond this way with the brush. 🤞🏽🙏🏽👍🏽🙏🏽

[@AishaBeau]

Good luck! Let me know how it works :)

[@jodi-.-]

Lol same I’m like going online shopping for products and a diffuser too so I can see how my natural hair will look

[@stephactiveveggiebyrd4275]

Sisters, the best looking curls popping experience I’ve seen these last 2 months of returning loose natural was when I detangled while I had the clay mask. But after I detangled I watch videos that said DO NOT detangle with the clay on the hair. Ooppss... but hardly much hate was lost but I will know better next time. Well, I received a lot of these products through the mail, the demen brush, defuser, flax, gel, clay, the mane choice... lots of stuff.... but now I’m thinking my PERSONAL 4 type hair is not a fan for wash n go. It does great with two stand twist and finger coils though. But this week when I wash I’ll try the Aunt Jackie gel. ☺️. No matter what, I love being natural!! I’ve been natural since 1996, with about 2 years of back sliding in the early years.... 😂. I’m still a fan, keep posting uploads!!!!! 🤗🤗. I’ll keep y’all updated!!

[@HoneyDM1]

This video has been SUPER helpful!!! I just did the big chop recently, and this is exactly where my hair is (in length) and texture. Thank you for creating this video!!! 👑💖🙏

[@HoneyDM1]

I just thought of a question as soon as I was done.. my apologies!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ At night, did you place just a satin bonnet or a silk scarf to protect your curls?? And what advice would you give to refreshing them after sleeping on them the night prior??

[@AishaBeau]

No need to apologize!! Honestly, I just sleep on a good satin pillowcase, because at that length its inevitable to flatten the curls. You just need to put oil in your hands in the morning and fluff it back out with your hands. If you want it even bigger you can use a fro pick as well. No matter what natural hairstyle there will be a bit of frizz and whatnot in the morning, so I learned to get used to that.

[@JuscallmePhilly]

I love your length and curls in this video from a year ago! I can definitely see how much it has grown!

[@delaneygreer-valle158]

This is so helpful! My daughter has type 2/3 on the front and sides and type 3/4 in the back. It is about 2 inches around unstretched. Stretched it's about 4, but shrinkage is another story lol. Because of this, her hair needs to be styled everyday. I'm about to order a diffuser attachment because her hair takes so long to dry in the mornings. She also goes to daycare and I really don't want her out in the cold with wet hair. I really needed this to see if I could make it work on her short hair! Thank you!

[@AishaBeau]

Oh wow! Thank you so so much for watching, I'm really happy that this was helpful for you! I completely get not wanting her to go out with wet hair.

I often get my curls really defined during the day, then when I sleep on it, it ends up being a frizzy mess the next day. I already use a satin bonnet. Do you have any tips on how to make these curls last for a few days? Do you ever twist them up at night or anything? Thanks!

[@AishaBeau]

I definitely had to embrace the frizz because it's inevitable. I actually prefer a satin pillowcase now instead of a bonnet because it makes my hair less compact. Also, make sure to refresh with oil the next day to help reduce frizz and retain shine/moisture. Also, it depends on the products you use to style with, gels help them last longer than cream stylers.

[@leeah2211]

I recently discovered if I band my hair at night then cover with a satin bonnet it preserves my twist out longer. I usually put about 4 in front and two in back of my head then in morning I gently rub my scalp to get rid of noticeable sectioning. Doing this also helps to stretch out my hair hope this helps ☺️.

[@everybodydance1277]

Enjoyed the video but, to me, any kind of music playing in the background while you are talking is distracting. It's okay to play music for a short period of time if you are not talking, but it's hard to hear what you are saying while music is in the background. Really good video!

[@AishaBeau]

[@lateshiawatt8415]

This video just saved my life lol. If I do this the night before work, do you think it will last??

[@AishaBeau]

I think it will, as long as you sleep with your hair in a satin bonnet or on a satin pillowcase. Just make sure it's completely dry before you go to bed. Also, you may need to fluff it out a little bit in the AM.

[@dominiquedevereux7205]

What kind of brush is that? I couldn't make out what you were saying when you mentioned it. But I'm not sure if that'd work for me anyway. I have sho'nuff 4C hair and your hair looks like it's in the mid to lower 3 range. So you'd probably get decent girls even without the whole wash 'n' go process.

[@AishaBeau]

Dominique Devereux thanks for reaching out! It is a Denman Brush! My hair isn’t particularly defined right after washing and this helps, so perhaps you can give it a try. If anything it is my favorite tool for detangling!

[@Texasbama2]

I'm wondering if it will work on 4c as well.

[@Texasbama2]

I can't find any videos of 4c doing it. I might have to go out and buy a diffuser

To be honest I have never actually used a gel cream in my hair. I tried the shea moisture souffle in a small section a whiiiile ago and did like it. I'd have to give them a try before I can make any recommendations!

[@kl3620]

Aisha Beau I just used my diffuser for the first time. Relatively new to the natural world and am still in the incubator stage. You know, testing products, stalking YT, and trying to type my hair in the hopes that I will purchase the correct products. I've learned so far, it's all trial and error. My hair, when wet looks exactly like yours. When I brush, rake, or comb it-- it curls, however it drys a tad dry, but the curls remain. I've had this diffuser for years but never used it. I just pulled it out and held it to my still wet hair for the first time. My hair looks good but I don't know what in the hell I did. So here I am. Thank you for this lesson!

[@yedayeda1050]

Thank you!

[@tracywilson8878]

I want to buy a diffuser! Is there a certain one that you recommend? Or can anyone else in the comments recommend one?

[@AishaBeau]

@@Hunnypooh18 You're welcome! So glad you enjoyed it! I think for 4c a wide-tooth comb would actually better, OR if you get the Denman brush try to take out a few rows so you aren't ripping your hair out when detangling!

[@Hunnypooh18]

Actually i just found a great brush for 4c hair. My version was called the tangle tackler, but they have several versions. Hardly any breakage or shedding and it was so quick to go through my whole head. But your advice was awesome! My hair has never looked better since I followed your steps.
