I don't own one but found this on yahoo:

# Wash your hair with a shampoo and conditioner made for curly hair. Products for curly hair usually help the curl form and make hair less frizzy when it's time to style it. Be sure to rinse the shampoo and conditioner out completely so the hair doesn't get weighed down by excess product.

# After you have patted your hair dry with a towel, brush your hair with a wide-toothed comb. Brushes will only help to straighten out the hair. Use the comb to gently pick out the tangles in your hair. Part your hair the way you prefer using the comb after you have combed out the knots.

# Squirt a dime to quarter size amount of curling cream or gel into your hand. If you have long hair use a quarter size amount. Rub the cream or gel together in the palm of your hands and then apply it to your hair in a scrunching motion. Place the ends of your hair in your palm and make a fist, and you should see some wavy curls form in your hair. If you want crunchy curls, use a curling gel. If you want softer curls, use a curling cream.

# Place the diffuser on your blow dryer and turn the dryer on. Use the diffuser similar to how you scrunched your hair with the palm of your hand. Place the ends of your hair in the diffuser and then move the diffuser up to your scalp so the hair is scrunched in the diffuser. Start on the sides of your head and then work to the back. Continue this scrunching motion with the diffuser until your hair is completely dry.

# Style your hair by putting a clip or headband on. If you used curling cream, use a light hairspray to set the curl. You will probably not need to use hairspray if you used curling gel.

I have a diffuser which I use every now and then. Pretty much its purpose is to dry without disturbing the curl pattern.

I just wash my hair, apply my products and then, starting at the back, blow dry with the diffuser. I dry the ends first and then part it a bit to get the roots . I don't do it very often because it still takes a long time. I'd rather just plop and air dry.

Sorry I know that wasn't much help, let us know how your first time using it goes.

Yeah, that's how you use it

This vid is kinda weird (but strangely entertaining to me)...

Anyway, she uses a diffuser around 5:18. You don't have to clip your hair or anything like she does...

Ladylibra used (and still might) to also have a video in which she diffused. I use mine basically the same way as KcCurly. I don't do it very often. Does yours have the attachment w/the finger looking things, or the sponge? If your hair is already thick and voluminous, be careful w/the finger attachment because it adds body if you move it around your roots too much. I made this mistake once and while I love big hair, it was TOO big, even for me . It was like a controlled/sophisticated finger in light socket look.
