Is Letting Our Hair Dry Naturally All that Good?

Posted by Sandy on May 13, 2009 with 0 Comments

Yes

  • If you have natural or manufactured curl that becomes fuzzy when you blow it dry.
  • If you want more time to do other things in the morning.
  • If your hair is intensely thick. I’d say add a little hair dryer heat to the scalp area to start the drying process.
  • If you shampoo your hair at night…..BUT, and that’s a BIG BUT never go to bed with wet or even damp hair. Damp hair is very elastic and weak. When you go to bed the friction between even damp hair and the pillow can cause damage to the cuticle or outside layer of your hair. Breakage! Shedding of the weaker hair.
  • If all you want to do is Fluff and go.
  • If all you do is flat iron your hair. Remember, your hair still needs moisture in it for protection from iron heat. apply a protective serum, first.

No

  • If you want volume at the scalp. As the hair dries the heaviness of the water in the hair weighs it down, like lead anchors. Even applying a volumizer at this time is silly, because a volumizer is applied to prop hair up, not to compete with water weighing the hair down.  It’s advisable only to add a serum or leave-in conditioner to the ends of your hair at this time.
  • If you want your hair to respond to your blow drying/ styling efforts. Once hair is completely dry, it takes more effort to style hair with a brush and dryer.  Hair that is wet is malleable and easy to put in whatever style you are able to do. Meaning the hair is responsive.But, hair that has thoroughly dried has hardened into it’s own particular shape. Thereby, making it virtually impossible to style your hair without adding water to it, again.

    What’s a girl to do?

  • If it’s in your genes to let your hair dry naturally,  let it dry naturally for 15 – 30 minutes after toweling your  ends of your hair.
  • Next apply protective serum to the ends.
  • Then apply volumizer to the scalp and push the roots of the hair up, for a little volume.
  • At this point your hair is sufficiently dry or moist to easily start styling fast and efficiently.
