How to Air Dry Hair
A hair dryer is an easy way to dry your hair, but hair dryers also dry out your hair's cuticles. If your hair's cuticles are dry, then your hair will also be dry and brittle. Try drying your hair by air drying it. Does this Spark an idea?
Things You'll Need

1
Dry your hair with an absorbent towel. The towel should not get the hair completely dry on its own but should soak up more water than a normal towel would. Do not rub with the towel. Just press down on the hair with the towel.

If you don't have enough time for the hair to dry on its own, hold a heat lamp or infrared bulb close to the hair. Don't get the heat close enough to burn you, and don't completely dry the hair with heat. Your hair will dry better by air drying so keep your hair close to the heat long enough to get it close to dry.

Let your hair dry naturally if you have straight hair.

Put large pin curls or alligator clips in your hair before it is dry if you desire wavy hair. Do not release the clips until the hair is completely dry.

Dry bangs by using a curling iron, brushing it or using a blow dryer. Bangs will not come out right by letting them air dry naturally.
