Your pages is great!!

I air dry my hair all the time and what makes it look the best is when I put castor oil on it.

Your page is GREAT! I love the ad for LHCF.

My wash n go styles are airdried. I have no clue how to airdry straight, but I agree with Kat about the castor oil. It makes it softer and shiner IMO.

Thank you ladies for the compliment.

Bumping for more responses.

Whats the key?

For me, the magic moment of air drying started with Chi Silk Infusion. My hair air dries straight with no frizzy ends. I tried using silk amino acid mix with my other good leave in, I still got silky hair but I got freezy ends.

Thanks for sharing this Keen.
I may have to try Chi Silk Infusion if the airdrying results are striaight hair with no frizzy ends. :scratchch I rollerset to get my smooth ends when airdrying.

I usually put proclaim glossing polish to control frizz, and Motions for a crisp rollerset, the regular one, the super makes my hair too crispy

I think the key is using good rich oil and pinning the ends up (or wrapping) - basically, avoid the ends just hanging freely. I apply my leave-in then liberally apply oil (Coconut oil is great for nice shine! Also love Keracare Essentail Oils - nice and rich!). My hair is thick and as it dries, once the water's out, it needs the oil to keep it smooth and frizz-free. Then I smooth it into a neat ponytail (make sure it's detangled) and secure with a tangle-free elastic, twist and pin it up straight (my ends are pinned at my crown). Then I wrap it with a silk scarf and let it dry. If it's overnight, it's pretty much dry by morning.

When it's about 90% dry, you can take the ponytail down and comb and smooth the hair to get the dent out (or flat iron it out if you choose). This technique always gives me nice smooth hair. If I want some curl in it, I'll use my Caruso rollers once completely dry, or even some magnetic rollers (with clips) at about 75-80% dry.

the most effective, cheapest, best air drying technique that works like magic for my 4b hair ..I can't remember the last time I've blowdried my real hair


you need: A great moisturizing lotion and oil

I suggest:
B&B Lotion
Africa's best Herbal Oil---I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STUFF

Great stuff and inexpensive

1) Apply oil to toweldried (you don't want it too dried though) hair...focus on roots and ends
2) Untangle wet hair thoroughly with widetooth comb
3) Part in four sections or more...(airdrying in one ponytail equals tangles and matted hair for me )
4) Apply lotion to all section…focus on edges and ends
5) Plait each section…all the way to the ends…smooth down hair as best as possible (fine toothed comb or good brush), plait tightly.
6) Tie down with silk scarf.
7) Go to sleep, wake up with soft, moisturized healthy looking hair.



you will have some crinkles...follow up with flatiron


or you can do the same but with rollers (minus the plaits, or course)...and all you have to do is flatiron the roots...this also works really well after a fresh, home touch-up

I do it a few different ways , depending on the style I want

For curly hair - I wash in go ans scrunch in Garnier Fructis Curl and Shine Leave in Cream, and Sunsilk Anti Poof

For thick wavy hair - I do a braidout. I air dry half way and then apply a mix of shea butter detangling moisturizing hair lotion, thermasilk straight and smooth leave in cream , and anti poof in my hair. I unbraid each section in the morning. I use a crimping iron to make it look wavier sometimes.

For soft waves- I do a bantu knot set on damp hair. I section the hair and apply sebastian potion 9 wearable treatment to each section and detangle. Next I make 7-8 bantu knots. I take then down in the morning and spritz with oil to seal in moisture.
