Do you let hair air dry - no styling? - Page 32 - The Long Hair Community Discussion Boards

My hair is naturally straight so I don't do anything with it. It's a little wavyish sometimes wet and can sit that way until I brush it - I always brush it dry, my hair freaks if anything comes near it wet! - and never have been in the habit of blow drying, too lazy.

I use a wide toothed comb while my hair is air drying. I found that this significantly cuts down drying time, that way it takes only 4 hours instead of 6 or 7.

I airdry with light combing or I just braid it.

I air dry and finger comb when almost dry. Then I wear it up until all the way dry before combing it out. It takes too long to go through the process in one get go.

I let mine air dry, I do comb it with the bristle brush, just for my scalp.
And I de-tangle with my fingers, they come out easier for me I noticed.

Yes! I detangle and then am good to go. My hair is naturally stick-straight, so there's no point for me to do anything else, and I prefer not damaging it with heat, anyway.

I'm air drying but I'm not sure if I like it. I've blow dried my hair all my life basically so it's a hard thing to give up. Plus I'm not used to the texture of my hair when it's not straight.

Yes, as I'm not trimming my chin length hair and headed for terminal. I must admit it can feel a little unkempt at times, but I try to keep everything else about my appearance in order, especially for work!

Hair care routine update: I seem to have fallen into CO every three days after trying and giving up on NW/SO, WO and S&C!

I do use a wide-tooth comb when it's wet. My hair is fine and also wavy. It's very tangly if I don't do something before it dries. I don't blow dry, except sometimes my bangs so they won't be super curly.

I let them air dry, or, on winter, I wrap the towel around my hair. I don't use hair dryier, neither the comb. They've to be perfectly dry before I use the brush or the fingers to comb them
