If you’re used to heading to a salon to get your hair done, you’ve definitely gone through a learning curve going the DIY route during the lockdown. While using a traditional hair dryer seems simple enough, to get a smooth blowout or the perfect waves, you’ll need to use some of the oddly-shaped attachments that come in the box. Ahead, we list out a handy guide to every type of hair dryer accessory and how to use them.
