Thank you for normalizing our hair. The media has made it seem unnecessarily complicated. When you started talking about the obsession with porosity I couldn’t agree more. I never cared about that and couldn’t understand why it mattered so much. I’m happy I’m not the only one who realizes its not that important when it comes to normal or everyday hair care. I love your energy. You are awesome! Stay blessed ❤💕

@@Latte-girly90 wow you are so spot on with this because most of us black women don’t feel comfortable with our hair how it grows out of our head always have to have it “styled”. I have been wearing my hair out in an Afro some days minimal styling and I feel so confident I get so many compliments on my hair and people just stare and people tell me how beautiful I look with my hair. I still wear extension braids and wigs when I want to switch it up but I have started to get comfortable with just wearing my hair out

This was literally a life saver. I find my hair drying out the closer to the front I get and never thought to just re-mist it. You just saved me from so much breakage!

Thorough explanation times ten! I have watched tons of videos and you are the ONLY stylist who has explained blowing to this level of detail!!!

A lot of hairstylists will use the comb attachment to blow dry the hair instead of trying their hand at using a paddle brush with a blow-dryer. They tend to think it's convenient and quicker when they could actually be tiring themselves out and possibly damaging the hair they're working on. I appreciate you demonstrating your best technique. Because of you I feel like I can do it myself instead of paying someone to put my hair through unnecessary stress.

This is my 8 year old daughters exact texture and hair color. I am learning so much about the tension method from you. I usually break her hair down into those twisted sections before washing. Last time I blow dried her hair I used the Dyson with the comb attachment and she complained about the heat. I think the tension method and paddle brush is more efficient especially for a child.

It was like natural hair was a crime. We went from just a nice press or blow out to you need a Jerry Curl, relaxer, fried dyed and laid to the side. Now we back to all things natural.

From the late 60s through the 70s, it was all about social change and challenging the status quo. The people who were in high school and college during the 60s and 70s went on to adopt the yuppie lifestyle of the 80s and 90s. Of course, that meant that Black folks would either straighten their hair or make their curl pattern looser in order to get a decent job, and unfortunately we’re still fighting for the right to wear our natural hair in the workplace.

Only a minute in and already you've showed me why blowing out my sister's hair the other night was sooooo long and hard to do. I thought the more heat protectant the better. I even almost got a new hair dryer nut something inside me was saying its not the tools it's your technique. Thank you soo much for sharing this tip. Gonna go finish now:P

Her thick coarse hair is so darned beautiful 😍!

The rev air saved me from breaking my hair off drying to blow dry it

This is great! The stylists I have gone to don't understand that it takes time to detangle our coarse 4c hair. Lol it be your own people too. My poor hair always gets ripped through. I'm used to it now but some days I just opt to do my own hair. I know what she's like. Hopefully I can find someone like you in my area.

First off, you make it look like an art project, your strokes are on point!

I watched so many other videos on blowouts and this is by far the best one. It's helped me sooo much!! Thanks 😊

This was so very helpful. I've always had trouble with blow drying my hair with the hair reverting so fast. I will try the paddle brush and take my time to make sure I get those roots dry. Thanks for sharing 😉😊

This is a great method. I’m going to get that brush because I’ve been seeing my other faves use it as well. I usually put a plastic cap over the head to keep in the moisture and just pull out the sections as I go. You’re right it can’t be too wet though. Great education as always 👍🏾

This video is full of so many gems. I really wish my clients had the time to spend as much energy on knowledge like hairdressers have the time to spend the energy they come in focused on one aspect and don’t even understand it fully and then have all these judgments on their selves, it turns into this whole other thing besides, just trying to give them the hairstyle they want based on the hair they have

I bought this brush because of this video! I am trying to learn how to blowout my hair properly to decrease split ends which I’m prone to, and your technique I think will work for me! ❤️

Awww .lol.. i loved this video ..i could definitely see the confidence transition from you using the brush to the comb. I started using the comb so i became very proficient in blowdrying, and later bcame used to using the brush.. the brush took me waaay longer to completely dry the hair

Thank you so much for clarifying the necessity of cleaned conditioned hair first, especially the less is more part. I thought of hair grease, hot comb from back in the day. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you!

Lol, my boy was real aggy with that comb attachment😅...you know when he started cussin, he was drove...first time watching and I love you already...thanks for making this tutorial fun and informative...thanks for being human!❤

Loved the video/tutorial and commentary! Thank you so much. I have suffered a tremendous amount of breakage since using the comb attachment for the last several months since my Revair broke. I won't be using the comb anymore for all of the reasons that you listed. I got tangles knots CONSTANTLY while blow drying my fine hair with it. My ends were trashed and badly splitting. I had about 3+ inches cut off and I'm starting over with a clean slate. I'm going back to the paddle brush with all of the great advice you've provided here on how to blow dry natural hair.

I use the comb attachment and using a titanium blowdryer is what works best for me. Less passes and the heat is evenly distributed through the hair.

I want to give you more than one like because you have done an amazing work ♥️

I don't own a paddle brush but I think my detangling brush will still work, I just have to work in smaller sections. But I absolutely love this technique. I also don't own heat protectant so I'll still have to maintain tension method with the dryer a couple inches for my hair. Currently in a protective style (mini braids) but once I take them down I intend on doing another blowout (did one before protective styling). I feel like I need to have my hair completely stretched out more but I need a fail safe way. I only ever either use threading or tension method. I'll be trying some techniques from this tutorial next time around 🙌🏾

Yoooo this was too funny😂😂😂 u n tht comb attatchment😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Subbed

I agree! Even when I brow dry my hair at home I do not like the comb attachment. The tension method is the best. It's even more efficient when you pull the hair taught with your hand and waver the blow-dryer from the roots to tips. I also use the tangle teezer blow-dryer brush. Grant it, I have a Revair so I don't have to go through this hassle no more.

Thank you for the detailed explanations.

My hair is fine but cottony . I need to get my hair blown out and trimmed 😢it’s been three years. You do such an amazing job ❤

That’s exactly why hair porosity is important especially for naturals because we need to know how our hair is going to receive certain products. I have wasted hundreds maybe even thousands of dollars trying to find hair products that’s worked for my hair. Once I understood my hair porosity I was able to figure out what products my hair would receive or soak up and what products would just sit on my scalp or roll off. I figured out how to open my hair follicles and what would seal the moisture in. It may not be that important to some people but it definitely saved me a lot of money and time.

Yes my hair is way too thick but I do like this method. 😊 Thanks
