Secret to the perfect blowout? Wetter hair!

[mzlatisha]

I am going to have to agree with this approach- my hair has always come out smoother and silkier if I blew dry while wet- not dripping, but about 25% dry. For some reason, my hair freezes into a pattern if I let it airdry completely first, unless I airdried in a ponytail, in that case, i dont need to blow dry at all, simply flat iron.

Using past tense since I havent done this in a while I'm sure I'll be back to it once I do my BC (year from now )

are you talking about the hair that lays down against your head?
my hair does this too.

Okay I learned on LHCF to wait and let my hair get 80% dry before blow drying. So now I'm hearing that I should blow dry this texlaxed 4a/b head on wet hair. I'm already doing a dry deep conditioner right now. I'm about to go shampoo and do a 15 minute condition with heat and then rinse with cold water and blow dry while dripping wet. It's already close to 9:30p.m. so I probably won't report back until tomorrow. Thanks to whoever brought this post back. I'm so glad the OP started the thread.

I don't care if this is a hair secret revealed or not, it's news to ME and I appreciate it.

Okay why did I try this last night and IT WORKED! My hair is soft, swingy and really pretty. In fact, I lost less hair this way. I wish I had learned this years ago when I first joined LHCF. But better late than never! I had no idea that blow drying on wet hair could be so much easier. It just goes to show that we all need to review our routine on the regular and look for room to improve it. This thread just saved me from breakage, tangles and hair that stays still and doesn't know how to move.

I need to continue to work on this at home, but I know I can do it! My hair today is proof.
