Blowdrying Natural 4 a,b,c hair.

TopShelf

Sewing & Growing Gamma Gal
For the past week I have washed my natural 4a,b hair and the ends are soooooooooo dry. I deep condition with oil under the dryer with a cap. I use a heat protectant, and a good dryer with a comb attachment. I am frustrated because I don't want to lose the 6 months of length that I have gained since my bc.

Can you please direct me to a link or a YouTuber who can show me some tricks to obtain straight ends that I get when a stylist blows my hair.

SalonCabelo blowdrys her natural hair straight. She has a video doing it with the comb attachment and another one doing the denman brush technique. Just plug her name into a youtube search
 
There is another person on you tube patchouli(sp) who blow dryed hair straight with the chi rocket I think. It's not a tutorial in motion but she got that hair flat iron straight with just a blow out.

Is there a reason you don't want to flat iron your hair? or are you trying to achieve something like a dominican blowout?

Flat iron????? I don't want straight hair. I blowdry it so that its straight enough to style. Flat ironing isn't necessary

Try banding your hair instead. Search YouTube for "banding natural hair" for info.

Steps I take to getting my hair straight / flat ironed. My hair is able to remain straight from day one until wash day (whether that is the after or 30 days later)

Talks about how she blow dried her hair

1:15 The Blow Dryer I used and why
FHI Nano 2000. It weighs 1lb 2oz
My old smaller blow dryer weighs only 13 oz.
(don't feel obligated to buy a new blow dryer until you try out your old one first. Oops. :o)

These are just a few.

What I did was wash,DC, and apply leave-in, heat protectant, and a tiny bit of my shea butter mix, making sure to "smooth" my hair down to the ends during application.

I twisted my hair to airdry it 85-90% of the way, then I started to blow dry. I sectioned, then used the modified denman and blew it dry. My hair was soft and had LOTS of movement. Then when I flat ironed, I didn't have the issue that I usually do with the ends being frizzy after blowday or flat iron. It was all smooth and straight down to the end.

I was using too much product originally and not the right product. Plus TECHNIQUE REALLY made the difference for me!
