A lot of you want to know the steps I take to blow out my hair. I get the question often so I decided it was time to dedicate a post to it. My blow out process is fairly easy but kind of time consuming since I don't use high heat. My setting is on cool/warm air and does take quite sometime to dry but I rather the process take forever versus getting heat damage.
Under the jump you can find the tools and products I use to achieve my blow out.
Enjoy!

What I use
Dryer Comb Attachment or Paddle Brush
Denman Brush
Butterfly Clips (4)
Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Leave-in
Grapeseed Oil (Natural Heat Protectant)
How I do it
1. Start with freshly washed hair, towel dry until damp.
2. Section damp hair into 4 sections and secure each section with a butterfly clip.
3. Apply your leave in of choice.
I like to use CD's BVLI because it's light and doesn't weigh
my hair down.
4. Detangle each section with a denman and then apply Grapeseed Oil to protect your hair from any potential heat damage.
5. Use the cool/warm setting on your blow dryer and slowly start stretching each section of your hair from the root with a dryer comb or paddle brush.
I pay close attention to my roots when I am stretching/blowing out my hair because it's important that they are dry to prevent any shrinkage. Please be sure to use a heat protectant, heat damage is irreversible ladies! All in all this process can take up to an 1 1/2 hours. Yes, that is very time consuming, especially on a wash day. It takes me about an hour (on a good day) to wash my hair. That doesn't include conditioning and de-tangling. Maybe that's why I don't blow my hair out often? When I dedicate a day to my hair is takes about 4 hours in total to get the job done *gasp* crazy, right?
Any who, I hope this post helped those who wanted to know my blow out regimen. If you have a different method, please leave it in the comment box below so other naturals can get other tips and tricks, versatility is good! What may work for one curly girl may not work for another.
