How do you dry your hair without using heating devices?

How do you dry it properly? I heard that you should not just leave your hair to dry on its on coz you could get sick. Something like that. If you towel dry it, how do you do it properly? Should you first wrap your hair in a towel for about 10 mins? Then, should you wipe (not the right word...is it scrub?) you hair quickly with a towel?? What should you do?



I have another question. Should you comb your hair while you are washing it? doesn't it cause the hair to fall?



How do you dry your hair without using heating devices?

1) Air drying is safe if you use common sense.



2) You can let it air dry, use a blow dryer on cold, or a fan. Make sure to comb to avoid creases.



3) Combing while in the shower does no more damage than combing out of the shower.



Explanations:



1) OF COURSE it WILL NOT make you sick, as long as you're in about 65+ degrees F (aka room temp or more).



2) i almost never blow-dry my hair anymore and it's healthier because of this. i leave it in the towel for about ten minutes. then i let it air-dry, sometimes with the aid of a fan on a low speed (don't stay in front of a fan for too long or your hair will dry like you're in a convertible). i comb it through from time to time to make sure it dries straight. also, many hair dryers now have a "cold blast" function. basically it blows cold air instead of warm, which means it's not doing any damage to your hair.



combing/brushing/hand-combing your hair will also help it dry faster, as you're exposing more of your hair to the air (same concept as a cold blow dryer).



3) speaking of combing: combing your hair while washing it DOES NOT do any more damage to your hair. i use my fingers so that i'm sure any hair that comes out was not pulled out by the root. any hair that comes off your head, assuming you're not yanking at it, was going to fall out anyway. you just notice it more when it's wet and clogging up the drain instead of just falling on the floor or catching in the comb.

...take a nice long ride in a convertible!

Hogwash to the idea that naturally drying your hair could get you sick. That only works if you let your hair dry naturally when it is 32 degrees.....



Wrap your hair up for five to ten minutes. Then let it down and comb it.

i just let it air dry- that works best- b/c blow drying or towel drying makes my hair too frizzy. and i read somewhere you shouldn't comb ur hair while washing it. i just do it right after its a little dry, then i dont brush it anymore- (again to prevent frizzness :D)



good luck!

Naturally, You won't get sick if you towel dry it and let it dry inside don't go out with it wet in the cold warm air will dry it faster outside. if you comb your hair in the shower do that when you condition it. Don't comb your hair after your towel dry it use a vent brush so not to damage hair.

Have you ever heard of germ theory? Did you know people get sick from exposure to germs i.e. bacteria and virii, not from benign behaviors? No, you won't get sick from walking about with wet hair @_@ However if you're lowering your core temperature that could contribute to your not being able to fight off an infection as effectively.



Combing your hair in the shower-- I heard hair breaks more easily when wet. What I do is brush my hair before the shower. After the shower I squeeze the excess water out. Sometimes I put it up in a towel turban, sometimes I just put it up in a clip. I only comb it when it's wet if I'm going out right away or putting it into a style then rather than once it's dry.



Back when I used to towel dry my hair by rubbing, I did this (with long hair. Hang my head sideways so the hair is freely falling down, then taking the towel so both of my hands have towel between the hand and the hair, I sandwich the hair in a clapping motion then rub my hands back and forth, but only for a few seconds. I move around to get all of my hair. But even then, the hair will still be damp.



I used to show up to work with wet hair and coworkers would say "did you just get out of the shower?!" Yeah whatever, it's just target. Who cares if my ponytail is wet! haha.



I also sleep on wet hair.
