I like to braid my hair and allow it to air-dry.

I too also check air-dryed braid, but sometimes I also like to dry it in a bun.

I checked hooded dryer with heat.  I would air dry more often but my hair literally takes all day and I never had the time.  What I normally do is brush my hair back into a ponytail and put my hair into one big shirley temple curl(that's what I call it).  Then I put a scarf on so the heat isn't directly on my hair.  I do this until my hair is pretty much all the way dry then let the rest air dry, next I blow dry just a little and flat iron.

I checked hooded dryer with heat (roller set).  Have been doing this since I was a child.  Keeps my hair healthier than blowdrying.  Also, most ethnic / spanish beauty shops in NYC use rollers & hooded dryers. Airdrying at home would take too long.

I checked air dry in braids.  This seems to be a healthy way to do it, and it only takes a day.. As long as I do my hair on the weekend an dnot in a hurry, thats just fine with me!  I love your hair Pokahontas!

I air dry with braids. It's easist for me. I am never in a hurry when I do it, because I normally wash my hair first thing saturday morning, and it dries while I do my "chores" or while I'm acting like I'm doing something.

 

Pokanhontas, your hair is very pretty.

I checked air-dry with braids, but I actually don't do that exactly. If I want to stretch my hair out in preparation for a style, I'll do jumbo twists on my wet hair and then band it overnight. If I want to do small twists, I'll put my hair in two ponypuffs and leave them to dry part-way. At that point I'll begin twisting.
