Diffuser Week: The DevaFuser

Price: I'm now seeing this for about $24 online. I picked it up in a swap for $30 with shipping a few years ago.

Hand Size: 5 1/2 inches tall; 6 inches wide


Hand Depth: I'd say about an inch

Finger Length: There are none

Hole Size: Medium

Easily Adaptable to Other Dryers: Yes

Pros:
  • Comes with an adapter so it will fit most dryers
  • Dries roots easily
  • Holes around the attachment allow you to "dry from the inside"

Cons:
  • Does nothing for curl enhancement
  • Adapter broke pretty easily
  • Hard to use

(My broken adapter will no longer hold the band that fits around the dryer)

Overall Experience:
My overall experience was a negative one. But I need a bowl and actual fingers for curl enhancement, so you probably knew that. I found this really hard to use, and consequently do not use it often.

Would I buy this again? No.

Weekend of Experiments

As mentioned earlier, this weekend I am experimenting. I've done three so far.

The first experiment was the super experiment using both Lustrasilk and DM H&ACJ. Not pretty. There seem to be a lot of people that are having the same problems that I did with this. My hair sucked the Lustrasilk when used on wet hair. And not in a good way. And it didn't play well with DM.

Yesterday I used GTTTT for co-wash, KCKT for my rinse-out, Lustrasilk for a leave-in, followed by the usual pink boots and ASG. Ok results. Nothing special. It was better than Thursday night, but my hair still sucked Lustrasilk up. I took pics, but they didn't really photograph well. And actually, I will say that I used Lustrasilk after it dried and my curls perked up some. So that was nice.

Tonight I decided to experiment with my diffusers. I bought the DevaFuser kit off the swapboards and it got here yesterday. So I used KBB milk as a rinse-out, KCKT for leave-in, followed by the usual pink boots and ASG. I'm really loving pink boots. I wish they sold it here! Come on, Target! Get your act together!

After I took down my plop, I diffused with the Sedusa. I did two sections with varying speeds and heat levels. After that I used the DevaFuser on my roots and the nape of my neck. I have to say, it was hard to get the hang of this. I guess I have more experimenting to do.

Anyway, here are the results (more in fotki). Kind of weird. I'm starting to think this more hair-cut-related than anything else. If only I had the guts to make an appt to see the curly hairstylist in town...
