Similar to using a flat iron, blow drying transitioning or fully natural hair is something you might want to take on every once in a while to have a specific look or to switch up your style.
For the most part, its best to avoid heat products on your hair as much as you can. Nevertheless, if you utilize the right technique and products, you can get away with occasional blow drying without incurring too much damage.
Occasionally it works well to blow out your hair after washing but before doing a twist out style to get a bigger and more sleek look and also to help it dry quicker.
If you do a blow out before doing a braid or twist out style you have to change the products that you use to make sure that you don't re-hydrate your hair too much and cause it to "go back" after the blow dry.
Buying the Top Blow Dryer: For transitioning or natural hair it is important that you blow dry with a blow dryer that uses a comb attachment. Using a comb attachment allows you to style thick hair more easily than if you did not have one. It helps so that you do not need to use the blow dryer in one hand and a comb in the other hand. Knowing this, you can eliminate any blow dryer that does not come with or accommodate a comb attachment when you are making your selection in purchasing.
Once you eliminate the blow dryers that do not include an attachment comb there are few options left. Some good basic brands include Yellow Bird, Con Air, Tourmaline Tools and Hot Tools. Get a ceramic ionic one.
Which Products to Use: When you blow dry , you want to only put on heat protector as you dry. Applying conditioner or moisturizer will cause it to take a long time for your hair to dry because you've sealed in moisture and now you are trying to get it back out. After you have dried your hair, however, you want to apply a non water based moisturizer, gloss or shine serum, and hair oil.
Technique: For the quickest drying and to curtail the possibility of breakage, it is a good idea to section your hair out into 12 sections then dry from tip to root combing through each portion of hair until it is dry.
If you work from root to tip you will inevitably pull your hair out because it causes too much tension on the hair. Also, save putting on any products, especially any sealants or oils, until you are done drying each section. If you put the oil on before the section is dry, it takes much longer to dry because the strands are already coated with the moisture "sealed in".
Black hair care and a black hair transition do not have to be a challenge as long as you have the right natural hair care products. Search for hair care forums, other hair care forums and research as many transitioning hair care tips as you find available. Search for terms such as black hair styles, hair transition, or transition relaxed to natural to find the best tips and advice.
