Years ago, I started Quest for the Perfect Curl because I was taking in an abundance of knowledge when I stopped relaxing my hair and growing out my natural hair. I learned SO much and wanted to share that information with everyone else. While hair will always be my "first love," my interests have evolved into other topics in addition to hair, such as makeup, nutrition, fitness, yoga, spirituality, and more. I wanted my channel to reflect that and be able to share that with you all.
As an avid researcher & communicator, I wanted to share my opinions and what I have learned, and serve as a resource in assisting with various interests and aspects of life. Hope you enjoy the channel & find some good information here. Welcome!

Good afternoon! Just a quick update - I'll be filming the blow out with the Dyson vs. InStyler this week. I went to the doctor after I haven't been feeling well over the past few weeks and found out I have an upper respiratory infection. On antibiotics so I'm finally feeling well enough to film. It should be up by Black Friday in case anything y'all want ends up being on sale! xoxo

For sh*ts and giggles, this is a Dyson Airwrap curl on a damp section of my natural texture. This is exactly how I expected it to look as even my hottest curling tools, like my clipless curling irons, are not going to smooth out a tight curl. Like, I’d never try to curl an old wash and go. If your hair is wavy with very little curl or straight when wet, it will enough but I’m not going to get a smooth curl without smoothing my hair in some way first. You could perhaps use a brush on small pieces and smooth the hair out first, but that to me seems extremely time consuming and your roots probably wouldn’t be smooth anyway.

I decided to skip the drying video and will discuss in my final thoughts vid. It's good as a dryer and I can certainly use it instead of my diffuser, but I don't diffuse my hair until it's dry and there isn't really anything to "show" with results with my wash and go as it's still mostly an air dry (I literally hit my hair with a dryer for 10 min or less and get on with my day). The biggest benefit claim of the Dyson is that the heat is less harsh than a regular dryer. More updates coming when I use my InStyler!

Dyson Airwrap UPDATE: I went back to my natural kinky curly texture today and used the Airwrap Prestyling Dryer attachment instead of my regular diffuser today. I liked it! It worked well and didn't blow my curls all over the place as long as I controlled the direction of the airflow. Contemplating whether to do a video on this attachment or not because I mean, at the end of the day, it's just a dryer and I don't even dry my curly hair until it's fully dry. But what do you all think? Skip right to the Instyler comparison?

My InStyler Maven is here, which is the tool I ordered to compare with my Dyson to decide if I'm going to return it. I did some first impressions on my Instagram stories (@dupeBLACK) a few days ago, but I will definitely test it out and do a review video. Just wanted to keep you all updated!
