What ever dryes first is the most damaged?........airdrying

I read some where that whatever section of your hair dry first is the most damaged.

I think maybe the porosity could be a bit off. Like when i first started transitioning my new growth used to dry straight away and my relaxed ends took hours. Obviously my new growth hadn't even got the chance to be damaged. Anyways i figured that my hair had to much protein. Now my new growth takes longer to dry now that i'm using more moisture.

I was thinking the same thing the back middle part of my hair always dries very fast..and it is damage..so that could be true.

I've noticed the mid back section of my hair dries quickly. I now make a conscious ever to moisturize and oil by parting my hair vertically in three sections. I also massage this section to try and loosen the curl. It really helps.

Same here. I'm 7 months post and my natural hair dries faster than my relaxed hair. Also if I'm heavy-handed with my leave-in, it takes longer for both my natural and relaxed hair to dry. If I only use oil as a leave-in, then all of my hair dries faster.

Well the perimeter of my hair would dry first.. and then the middle.. but I'm assuming it's because that part of my hair was exposed to the most air *shrugs*

I can understand the rationale, but this may not always be true because some parts of our hair is more exposed to air then other parts. I have never seen hair that dries completely evenly. Just my take on this...

I agree with these two answers. Porosity is a huge factor.

another vote for porosity -- whenever my curls in the front/top dry really fast, i do a PC rinse and equalize it all. (as a matter of fact, i need to do one this weekend.)

Interesting topic OP. Thanks for bringing it up!
