Similar to flat ironing, blowing out transitioning or fully natural hair is something you may want to take on every once in a while to get a certain look or to adjust your look.
For the most part, its best to eliminate using heat on your hair as much as possible. Nevertheless, if you use the right technique and products, you can occasional blow drying without incurring too much damage.
Occasionally it is nice to blow dry your hair after washing but before you do a twist or braid out style.
If you blow dry before doing a twist or braid out you have to change the products that you use to make sure that you don't re-hydrate your hair excessively and cause it to "go back" after the blow out.
Buying the Best 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 reject all of the blow dryers that don't actually come with an attachment comb there are few choices left. Basic brands include Yellow Bird, Con Air, Tourmaline Tools and Hot Tools. The best is a ceramic ionic dryer.
Products: When you blow dry , you should only apply heat protector as you are working through the sections. Putting on moisturizer or conditioner 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 fastest blow drying and to minimize the possibility of breaking hair, it is a good idea to section your hair into 12 sections and 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 no doubt pull your hair out because it causes too much tension on the hair. Also, don't put on any products, especially any sealants or oils, until after 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".
