I blow dry on the lowest setting now because the leave in conditioner that I use says it on the bottle. At first I ignored it, but then I tried it and it works best on low heat. It takes a little longer, but it’s worth it.

Did the study indicate the participant's hair type? I doubt if they used many or any individuals with 4a-4c hair. I'd think that the oils we add when air drying would prevent the damage described in the study.

In my opinion having only started blow drying for 3 weeks and only having 2b-c hair (which tbh is why I'm straightening because my hair either has to be forced into being curly or forced straight). I did used to have 3a hair, and I can say that the amount of hair I loose from detangling has significantly decreased. It's just easier to detangle straight hair 🤷🏻‍♀️ so there's that too consider too.

Such a helpful video! Quick question: what leave in conditioners would you recommend for using before blow drying or straightening?

Thank you, thank you, thank you. So much to consider.

This was so informative. Thank you

Hi Afope! Love your videos, thanks for all your hard work. I use the revair as well and i initially intended to only stretch my hair with it on the cool setting, but it's not stretching my ends so it's been suggested i just use heat which i'm very aversive to. I wash my hair every 2 weeks and plan to use the dryer every wash day on low heat with a heat protectant because stretching will help prevent knots and makes detangling easier. do you think this is a good idea indefinitely (the use of 60-70 degrees C heat roughly 2x a month to stretch hair that is)? hope this query makes sense

Great video! I would love to hear what do you think about bonnet hair dryers.

Subscribed! Love your information! My hair loves silicones and moderate heat. What I mean by heat is covering up my hair like a hijab and keeping it protected. I recently learned sadly Wash n goes tear my ends apart cause they get tangled so easily. I notice the most growth when my hair is stretched!

Very helpful sis !

Maybe the damage experienced on the air dried hair was caused by hygral fatigue seeing as though it would have been wet for the longest period of time.

@AfopeAtoyebi

4 жыл бұрын

I thought this too, but I guess they also would need to consider the hair porosity type, because hygral fatigue damage is worse for higher porosity hair as the hair swells more and contracts more quickly because of the porosity. It's less likely to be the case if the hair they used was low porosity hair. But porosity isn't something they controlled for so sadly, I guess we could never know 😫

@@AfopeAtoyebi - Hi Afope. I know this is an older video, but I was wondering if you've come across any other studies that mentioned damage caused by air drying? I find this really fascinating! Here I was thinking that air drying was the healthiest thing I could do for my hair. I don't use any heat at all and don't over-manipulate my hair, but I've still encountered unexplained breakage from time to time. Perhaps it comes from the fact that I strictly air dry. If air drying actually causes damage, then perhaps using minimal heat would be a better option. I have to think about that. Anyway, I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on damage from air drying.

@@Kindred04 oh yeah, I just had a realisation yesterday night! You know how your face feels awfully dry when you get out of the showers and let it simply air dry? We put moisturisers and creams to protect the skin on the face right after the shower. My guess is, if we put some serum/hair oil on the hair when its still damp, and let it air dry, the damage can be lessened! I can't be sure, but I feel as though my hair quality worsened when I didn't use my hair oil. Ever since I've been using my hair oil consistently, I think the damage on my my ends is halted (but I can't be sure).

Hey girl! Love your vids! Left you a message regarding the 2 in 1 shampoo on your previous vid. Do you know if that shampoo is the same as the one you use?? Again, I’m in the states..

I hope we can re-visit that idea about damage to the cell membrane complex. I've been reading research all morning to figure out how to prevent that. Is the cell membrane complex just ceramides? Or does applying ceramides to the hair prevent damage to it, or does it just mimic the membrane as it fades, kind of like Olaplex: Glue edition? So many questions.

This is revolutionary info. I have a revair and they should pay you!

I wish I could watch her videos all day. May I ask if you can do a video on humidity blockers and if they actually work? Also I know you did Olaplex, what about the Creme of nature version? Also is there a way to reverse mild heat damage? Would a protein treatment work?

It may also have a relationship with the climate, in cold weather the hair will take a long time to evaporate and water would stay in contact with the hair for a long time, which would harm it.

What is your opinion on indirect heat? I have stopped using blow dryers/diffusers all together 2 years ago and use a hooded dryer instead (never on high). I use it weekly to dry my wash and gos (it takes over a to dry day without some form of heat). I haven't noticed any damage or loosened curls personally and my hair seems a lot better now, but I wanted to know if they have the potential to cause any harm. I was thinking about stretching my hair using roller sets instead of a blow dryer when I want a stretched style.

Yayyyyy. Straight facts.

@AfopeAtoyebi

3 жыл бұрын

Yayyy! Welcome girl! Because your hair is in braids/plaits, it looses moisture at a much slower rate so you don’t need to do more than a light weekly spritz with a leave-in mist to “top up” and you can clean your scalp with a diluted cowash mix and some cotton balls and “rinse”/clean off the excess product with wet cotton balls. Hope this helps?

Fops, could you please make a video about the greenhouse and baggy method on natural hair? I'ld love to hear your opinion about it and whether it's healthy for our hair or not. @afopeatoyebi Thank you. 😊

New subscriber here, as of today! Fantastic video.

So should I start blow drying my hair more? Pretty much stopped using heat last year but my hair still seems to be pretty damaged, now I'm wondering if air drying my hair is actually worse than just drying it

Love this, this is super helpful. I had heard of this study that wet hair causes more damage than blowdrying it correctly but I didnt know that making sure you dont go from room temperature to high heat was damaging so thats super helpful. But I am super confused 4-6 blowouts per year seems so low, I wash my hair 3 times a week, so I wouldnt even be able to blow out my hair every other month. Or when you say blowout do you mean styling it not actually blow drying it? I am new to your channel so maybe the advice is more towards a different hair type than me, I am 1B so maybe thats why it seems so low to me hehe..

I'm 4b and I wash twice a week. I use my Revair every single time on high. After seeing this I'm going to use it on low just so I'm not causing any long term damage. My hair is getting longer.

So should we be flat ironing right after a blow dry rather than waiting?

Please tell me if diffusing it on low heat from a bit of a distance, about every week; is okay? 🙏🙏🙏

Try the capillary schedule. You hair needs 3 components Hydration, moisture and reconstruction. Get a good mask for each. Reconstruction are all masks that have protein and/or amino acids. Using the capillary schedule will allow you to rotate the use of these masks so your hair has a complete and balance diet each week/month. I have 2a/b hair and I blow dry at low heat almost every time I wash my hair. I make sure to use high quality products and my hair is finally growing past shoulder length! Aleluya!
