HELP !! Air Drying Technique Needed

[AtlantaJJ]

I have tried air drying on a few occasions and I get to the point where I have to sit under the bonnet drier.

How do you get the newgrowth to stay tame during the air dry and
the hair in my bun stays wet for two days it seems!! How do you get around those two things.

I know its worth the trouble for me to find out beause just about every response for the 2 things that helped everyone's hair had NO HEAT as one of them.

How can I dry my hair without heat in less than 48 hours!

use an Aquis Towel to get most of the water out before placing hair in ponytail or bun

You can airdry overnight in a rollerset. This results in moisturized hair that looks blowdried.

I remember those days too. I havent done that since high school. But I'm sure it's worth it. Just look at Isis' hair.

I airdry in 2 ponytails. And I take the ends and criss-cross them across the top and clip them down with pins and tie a scarf on. The ends dry quickly using this method.

I'd like to try the roller method too. Isis, what type of rollers do you use?

I air dry over night with my hair pulled back in a pony, and baggie the ends. Usually in the mornings when I wake up my ends are still wet. So I get my blow dryer and put it on cool and run it through my hair for a few minutes, and throw in some small burst of warm air.

My hair still comes out smooth and moisturized and there is no breakage. So this seems to work for me.

When I was rolling my hair back then, my hair was the bomb, so full and bouncey, yall are giving me ideas!!

I wouldn't mind walking around during the day with the roller set and then pin curling it at night. I've become so tender headed.... Thanks for the reminder Isis that used to really work for me !! 25 year ago! WOW!

JJ, my mom used to rollerset her hair everynight (so did I) and her hair was sooo healthy and pretty. She never used a curling iron. I may have to try this our again.

See that pic in your siggy? That used to be my signature hair style girl. The Farah Fawcett feather . I have a pic with that exact hair style but I'm too shame to post it

Gerl, that was the style back in the day... no shame in my game, I had healthy hair! That was the point I'm trying to get across to myself! We used to call that style the "flipper-roo"

Oh no girl, it's not the hairstyle I'm ashamed about, it's the face....

I use magnetic rollers. The giant green ones (3") I use mainly to smooth out and "straighten" my hair so I can style it. The gray ones (2.5") I use for the same reason except I may keep and wear my curls.

To sleep in these to airdry overnight, I maneuver the rollers on one side of my head as I'm rollersetting so I can sleep comfortably.

Actually, I wish I knew how to rollerset when I was younger...

I've been experimenting with pin curling my hair for the past month or so. If I time it right on Sunday, for example, I can wash and rollerset early in the day, airdry it all day, then take out the rollers and pincurl my hair before going to bed. It works, I just have to plan it ahead of time.
