A salon-quality blowout depends heavily on airflow guidance. Raw air blown without attachments frays the cuticle, producing a messy, puffy texture.

Every ghd full-size dryer includes a rigid concentrator nozzle attachment. This narrow slit flattens the barrel's cylindrical airflow into a tight horizontal plane. When styled down the hair shaft with a round ceramic brush, the air seals the cuticle layer tight.

Curly and coily hair requires the opposite approach: wide, slow, non-disruptive heat dispersion. The proprietary diffuser for curly hair (sold bundled or as an accessory for the Helios and Air) uses contoured, vented fingers to lift curls at the root while dispersing airflow evenly across the curl clump.

Managing temperature remains vital across all hair patterns:

• Fine or chemically processed strands: Restrict drying to the lowest heat and speed setting to guard fragile internal protein bonds.
• Run the highest heat and maximum speed for initial rough-drying, dropping down when smoothing with a round brush.
• Hold down the cool shot button for 5, 8 seconds per section. Rapid cooling locks hydrogen bonds in place, preventing newly straightened sections from curling back up from humidity.
