My son is 13 years old and has never had his hair blow dried or even straightened. I was wondering how do I blow dry his hair straight and what products do I use? Do I need the blow dryer that has the comb or brush attachment or should I use a hand brush and what setting should I have the dryer on? He is african american/cuban and has very thin curly/straight hair( like kimora simmons daughter aoki just very thin or r&b singer llyod and mya) that has alot of shrinkage and I'm looking to do this maybe once every 3 to 4 months to help with managability. Any Suggestions Please. ------------- mz. dimples |

Start out by using a heat protectant or similar, to keep from damaging his hair in the process, which can make his hair frizzy. Then, when hair is damp, section hair into 4 sections, using a hand brush [paddle brush, would be best, imo], dryer set on a low or medium, with warm (rather then hot), start at the roots, ending at the tips, and continue until you're finished.

Please don't laugh at me, but do you know any names or pictures of the products and brush your talking about. I've never used a blowdryer on my hair either so I'm kind of lost. Thanks for the info. ------------- mz. dimples |
