Drying Wet Braids Advice

[Ashee]

Is there anyone out there who washes thier braids & has advice on drying them So that they won't be wet all day or wet up the back of your clothes?

Blot them with a towel as much as possible, then blow dry on a low or medium setting. I did this with synthetic hair and it was great!

Thank you soooo much!
How long were your braids? How long did it take for them to dry on low heat?

They were actually two strand twists with extensions, and they were almost brastrap length. I'm not too sure how long it took for them to completely dry, but I would get most of the moisture out of them (enough to stop the drips) and then concentrate on getting my scalp dry. They would finish drying during the course of the day, and I never had a problem with my back getting wet. This worked so well that I would wash my braids twice a week.

twist them up into bantu knots, that why they can simply air dry without wetting your back.

My braids are medium long.

I would suggest a microfiber towel...it dries up your hair quicker without roughing up the cuticle or being damaging to our fragile hair type. You can find them on ebay, or these sites
