The reason ? The original utensil chosen to define your curls and make them plumper than ever. A simple colander would make it possible to obtain more beautiful curls than with a diffuser – yet designed for this practice – as she herself points out in her video.

Still, this is not the only technique unearthed on the Chinese social network to obtain perfect curls.
