Hey there everyone!
Loving the new extension and have gotten a ton of compliments on them. I was just wondering though, if there are any tips on getting them dry quicker? I know that must sound silly but I have always had shorter, thinner hair that was maybe a 10-15min blowdry so with the longer hair I am having to break it up into a few sessions(my arms get tired lol). Normally this would not be an issue since I don't work outside the home and I can let it airdry for a bit but we are going to Disneyland in about 2weeks and we will have 5 people in our room(me, hubby, teenage son, teenage sons friend and nine yr old) and I don't want to hold everyone up when we are trying to get ready for the Park. I have a ConAir dryer that is 1875 watts and seems ok but would like to cut down some time on this if possible. I guess I could do a partial dry and then braid it or ponytail it if I had to but thought I would see if anyone had some tips. Thanks!

Hi! Not sure if this will help all that much. But my extensions have a bit of a wave. When I am in a hurry I just run the hair drier on the bonds and dry and style the area framing my face, and just let the rest air dry. If I am wearing it straight I find it helps to section it off. With less hair to deal with it dries faster than trying to dry it all at once. I also use a type of styling comb that allows me to clamp down on my hair and hold it straight while I blow it dry. That seems to speed it up a bit, too. I bought this tool at Sally's Beauty Supply. I just tried to go to their website to give more information, but it appears their server is down. |

Unfortunately the longer drying time is the downside of having more hair on your head. I find if you use a really good ionic dryer, it dries a little faster. Also towel dry it very well first. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |
