How do african american females dry their hair after washing it instead of blowdrying it?

Answer 1

we sit under the dryer. African -Americans have close to the same hair regiment as you all when it comes to drying it anyway. For example we perm out hair to make it straight white people perm their hair to make it curly. White people wash their hair everyday, blacks we wash out hair every other week, because our hair is a different consistency than white people's. But back to the question at hand, when we blow dry our hair we are trying to get it straight most of the time. When we sit under the dryer we are trying to obtain a certain style, meaning after the beautician styles our hair anyway we want it. Hope this info helped.

Answer 2

Blowdrying and sitting under a dome dryer are not the only solutions for drying tightly coiled, non-relaxed hair. As another person suggested air drying is an obvious option. If you want to stretch/straighten the hair, then you can BRAID it or BAND it. Banding is when the hair divided into sections and (safe) elastic bands or ribbons are placed along the length to stretch the hair. When the hair is dry, remove the bands and your hair is straightened similar to blowdrying.

Answer 3

Well, I'm not African American but I do have very curly hair. If I use a blow dryer I turn into a big puff ball. I just towel dry it and let it air dry naturally.

Answer 4

look its no longer gross that african people wash their hair as quickly as a month that kind of hair loses its organic oils if u wash it too frequently. White hair gets grimy swifter and subsequently desires to be washed extra many times. My hair is blended so I wash mine once or twice a week yet no extra suitable than that!

Answer 5

DON"T blowdry your hair! it damages it! as an indian i think that letting it dry naturally, or drying it with a towel is the way i do it.............

Answer 6

I don't know who told you that we don't blow dry our hair, but we do. Sometimes we let it air dry. Or we sit under the dryer. Sitting under the dryer leaves more moisture in your hair than when you use the hand held dryer.

Answer 7

9 time out of 10 if you don't blow dry, you're screwed! It'll frizz all up. Only other options are air drying (uhhgg!) or sittting under the hair dryer.

Answer 8

Use a towel to wipe it dry and leave it to dry naturally by the wind...

Answer 9

i figure just let it air dry or towel dry it, my sis in law would do that because the blow dryer would make her hair dry and brittle.

Answer 10

i just let it air dry sometimes. but it takes a long time.
