I first stated by blow drying my hair as usual. Then I attached the diffuser and let that pretty much do the trick. My hair was getting wavey in such a cute way within a matter a time. It was getting styled with less heat applied to it. I also used the brush with the copper plate to help me and it was an amazing duo. My hair felt like it was getting less heat damage and less frizzy. I am absolutely blown away by this hair product and so thrilled to see what other hair styles I can make with this Conair SmoothWrap. I am definitely a forever fan and will recommend this product to all my friends.
