If you're worried or stressed about tangles leave your hair parted in the sections to detangle them in. It's really that simple. If you rather blow dry your hair just say that.

For about 2 years, I 2-strand twisted fresh after a wash and deep condition. My hair grew like crazy but I was confused why I kept getting fairy knots. Then I noticed a patch of missing hair one day and was even more confused. I decided to blow dry and couldn't believe how uneven and broken off my hair had become. The 2-strand twisting hid this problem. So I got a good cut and have my hair pressed by a professional once a month. My hair is now almost waist length with no more knots and missing hair.

I’m a natural hair girl and I can say after washing my hair I air dry and don’t have the brittleness at all. I put moisturizer in my hair while it’s still wet section by section and let it continue air drying. Never had a problem. Blow drying is what makes my hair crunchy and dried out plus the ends feel hard. If you’re a natural hairstylist you should know how to work with natural hair in all stages. Everyone doesn’t conform to the same standards for their hair care regime and that’s okay. Do what works for you. I’ve completed my 1,000 cosmetology course while in high school over 20 years ago. I have blow dried my hair when I was younger but have completely changed my routine that works for me. Just saying everyone is different but if I go to a stylist and they tell me they can only blow dry my hair which is thick and course I will leave. Stylist should be able to adapt to their clients. If you moisturize your hair it won’t be hard from my experience. And don’t forget to put a leave in conditioner it helps with other products of your choice. My hair is long and healthy as well. I section my hair in braids to stretch it as well. Have a blessed day. 😊❤

Also not everyone with natural hair will respond to hair treatments the same way. Depending on your coil pattern, texture, strand diameter, density, porosity and other factors, your technique of air drying may not have the same effect for others and in fact can be quite damaging.

[@kelliew.4285]

I think blow drying does weaken the hair to some degree, making deep conditioning necessary. This may be why a lot of naturals think they have to deep condition every wash day, bc they are used to it from when they use to perm or flat iron their hair regularly. Without heat (or other damaging chemicals), I don't need to deep condition. So that tells me it does weaken the hair. That being said, I know "straight hair naturals" who flat iron regularly and still have healthy hair, so it's all about knowing how to maintain your hair, just like color.

[@Memomommy]

The heat and tension from blow drying causes damage. It just makes it easier for stylist to style your hair. They just don't want to deal with (or know how to) style natural hair. I wish they would just admit that instead of staying blow drying doesn't cause damage. Blowing once or second a year is not too bad but if you do it frequently then your hair will fall out. Doesn't matter how much you protective style.

[@tiathetaurus]

Nooo 🤔 maybe for you but I blow dry my hair every time I was it so about once a month and my hair is thick, long, shiny always, and soft. Just keep in mind everyone is different. Also if you’re not using good products or taking preventative measures like detangling… of course your hair will fall out. A good thing to note; don’t blow dry your hair everyday or even every other day. Space it out.

[@CelesteTheeDragonLady]

This is very true, especially because, contrary to popular belief, not all 3c-4c hair is low porosity. Low porosity hair does ok with heat. However, someone who has naturally high porosity hair, even a little bit of heat causes weaker hair strands and breakage.

[@TruuColorZ]

No it doesn’t 🤦🏽‍♀️ heat protectant is a thing and so is having common sense a thing. Blow drying your hair does not damage it let alone heat is not always used hence the cool setting. On top of that air drying your hair can be bad to so what are you gonna do🤣

[@wintersantiago2274]

It depends on who blow dries your hair

[@SLAYY510]

This is false. Maybe you don’t know how to blow dry YOUR hair. For most hairstyles if not getting a silk press hair should be detangled first then blow dried enough to ensure ends are not tangled then get underneath a hooded dryer which dries but hear is not directly on each strand.

[@pretoriaafro5074]

I am so glad that I have options. I prefer not to blow-dry my hair. I enjoy my hair in it's natural state. I am learning to streatch my hair without heat. I have also learned how to clip my ends without blow drying my hair. Love taking care of my crown myself.

[@austoniamanago7443]

Damage what? I neeever understand people saying that. Moisturize with a touch of water and hair product ...zero problems. Keeping your ends very regularly snipped will forever keep your hair thick and healthy. Heat is fine especially on natural hair.

[@k.karmas1126]

Nope. I think not. I use my RevAir a few times a year and get a silk press once a year. That's all the heat I'll allow. It's not about how much hair you grow. It's about how much hair you keep.

“So you don’t have to FIGHT against texture” 😳 You lost me there mama.

[@newdiffrentbetter]

I wish I had started blow drying my twins hair years ago! I’ve had to trim their hair so much we never saw length but now the length retention is happening, the wash days are smoother and faster. Stretching the hair, either air dry or blow dry, helps prevent breakage and encourages length retention.

[@TheodoreBakes]

That don't even sound right

[@christabellatoao]

@@TheodoreBakes nah it actually makes sense because air drying is most likely to damage the inner cortex of the hair. Blow drying when done correctly sets the hair bonds, but has its draw backs if you don’t know how and what you’re doing. Everything is a trade off somewhere. I would say a hooded/soft bonnet dryer is the best of both worlds bc it’s not direct heat, yet you’re still setting the hair bonds in place so they’re not at their weakest point (wet & swollen ) for too long

[@kitakhat]

My hair is a little dense, but the strands are medium to fine. It stretches easily with tension and low heat. Low heat is good for pre braids. Higher heat resists reversion better for a couple weeks of wear. My straighter hair does maintain length better, because I get fairy knots really bad when my hair is worn freely and curly. Heated stretching provides luster, moisture retention, and manageability. I don't always blowout before a heat brush. Sometimes I just apply one form of heat.

[@reneejones9093]

Yes, everyone's hair is different. My natural hsir is very fine. If I'm wearing it curly, I co-wash and rinse, then saturate with conditioner and let it air dry. It makes it very curly.

@Clara i think they’re saying why would a natural hairstylist blow dry natural hair for every style if they’re supposed to be able to work with textured hair? I’m not sure if thats what they mean but its a valid question. Not everyones hair is gonna react the same to heat or be managed better that way, it depends on the health state of that persons hair. To offer blowdrying service for some hairstyles is one thing but if they do it for everyone of the clients, how can they claim to be a “natural hairstylist”? What would they say if their client asked not to be blowed out or use heat? What other methods are they going to use to stretch the hair to be better manageable and best for the hairs health. I wonder if blowdrying comes with the style you book or if its an additional charge. Some places ask you to go blowed out and already washed and just go for the style, otherwise it cost extra for those services. Man i dunno but the natural hair community confuses me sometimes.

[@rose44491]

@Clara i dont think I wrote what I said right. But you said it better, thats what I was trying to say.

I was trying to rephrase because thats how i took what the commenter said. You’re not wrong so

[@nethaniapierre8149]

Well any form of stretching your natural hair for a style is technically fighting your texture (meant to say manipulating your texture) whether it's with or without heat lol. Unless you wear your hair the way it is without stretching or anything like a wash n go. But then again I could be wrong idk. Edit: (Either way I think a lot of natural stretch their hair for manageability whether it's with heat or without except the ones who do wash n go's)

[@artistaroundtheblock2047]

I’m talking about the word fighting. Our texture is what enables us to do these styles in the first place so fighting it is like fighting our hairs ability to hold the style. That one reason why people rag on white people for these styles. They don’t have the texture for it, so why should I get rid of mine when I need it for the style?
