    I air dry mines and i always wash super early so i have all day to let it dry properly before bed.

      Me too…Works like a charm. I also perm rod set my hair in the morning and I don’t use a dryer because I’ll let them air dry until the afternoon/evening and by then I’ll have dry, perfect and lasting curls.

      I do as well, wash in the morning so my hair will be dry by bedtime.

    I blow dry
    I normally have to leave the house after washing my hair, I don’t like the feeling of wet hair, my hair gets brittle when I air dry ( loose and locd) and lastly, I live in Minnesota. It was -8 last night! 😂 if I ever quit my job, slow down my life and move to the Barbados .. I will welcome the sun to dry my hair as I frolic about outdoors

    I use a combination of both methods - hairdryer with hood attachment to set my roots then air dry. Unfortunately I live in the UK so little chance of sitting out in the sun so try to ensure I wash my hair early. Great video as often thought about the potential for mildew as on occasion hair may not be fully dry before tying it up

    I usually do a mix of both. Just depends on the temperature outside and what I have planned for the day! My loctitian usually gives you the option.

    I heat dry my locks in the Winter only. I live in Michigan.
    Otherwise it’s the Summer Sun or indoor fans. Natural drying.
    Especially if I’m setting them with rollers or Braids. I have Sisterlocks.
    Since my hair has gotten thicker and longer I don’t wanna take chances with that mildew issue, which I’ve never had to deal with.
    I don’t have any scalp drying issues.😊❤️

      OMG!!! You just gave me an idea for washing at night. I have avoided washing at night because of the amount of time it takes to dry and I hate laying on wet hair. I never considered mildew I just cannot lay on wet locs. But blow drying at night seems so reasonable and doable. Thank you ❤

    Thanks for covering this… I was just trying to decide this issue. I air dry mostly but I didn’t know about mildew. So now I’m using the ‘cool’ setting on hand held blow dryer. I like both

    Can never go wrong with a good microfiber towel and air drying. All it takes is one good time of mildew smelling locs and seeing lint in your hair from cotton towels to change you 😅😂

    I'm in the deep south so in the summer, air-dry, winter is always hood dryer.

    I got the dryer attachment, it’s like a bag for your head. I’ll air dry when I have time like if I wash early in the day with time outside

    I primarily air dry and sun dry in the summer. I’ll use the hood if I wash late in the day/evening which is rare.. which hair dye would you recommend?

    I do low heat dry... I don't air dry because I don't want mold and I don't like the smell of those who air dry.

    When is the best time to oil on wash day? I only put oil in my hair on wash day so I want to make sure I am doing it at the best time. Is it after towel drying?

    Hey Keisha, do you ever tie your locs back in a ponytail with your own locs or a hair tie while they air dry or sun dry? Thanks.
