Blow drying Biracial Hair???

MixedGoldiLocks · 07-02-2012, 09:52 AM

Hello everyone. I'm Thinking about blow drying my hair more frequently to make it easier to deal with. I'm a mixed girl, 12 years old, 3c hair, and no one taught me how to do my hair

. It was flat ironed before and got damaged, but I still have my curls, it's just poofy when it's not moisturized. I don't plan on using high heat, but I want to learn how to blow dry it. My hair is fone, but it has two coarse areas on my temples, but it's mostly fine. Can someone tell me what routine to use when I blow dry it? And will it be damaging if I use the cool setting or low heat? Thanks soo much! God bless!! Xoxo

I wouldn't suggest it really. I'm mixed too...and used to blow dry my hair all the time...it was dry and poofy and damaged. It took forever...and after a while I had to redo my hair every night. Im much happier now that I just let it do it's thing and be curly. Humidity and rain don't make it frizz. My hair looks so much better.

When I did it tho I used a comb attachment...and did it action by section...certainly use some kind of moisturizing protector if u decide to do it

I am also bi-racial, and I definitely think it could help if you put some product on it and blow dry it with a diffuser upside down.

Anyone, whether biracial, multicultural or monoracial, will be doing herself a solid by purchasing a blow dryer with a warm setting, and using that instead of the hot setting.

Plus, like someone else said, diffusers are your friend

Get a diffuser use low heat and low speed but dnt dry it 100% maybe 60-70% then let it finish air drying I also have 3c hair and I only do this once a week in the winter
