about

Hi I am the teen helper. I stumbled on this website while on google it really caught my eye so I read on and though this is just what I really need ( but not exactly what I was looking for on google). I have been told I'm really good at giving advice to my friends and I always wanted to make a difference. I am mostly focusing on teens because not only are teens going though a lot of crazy stuff at the time and just really need someone to ask or talk about problems but I am a teen myself.

advice

Hi, I'm 14/f and my mom & I disagree on which is the best way to dry my hair.

I've been getting relaxers every 3 months for about 6 years now and my hair looks much, much better than it did when I was 8 years old. I've never skipped a relaxer treatment, & I never stopped doing them, and now my hair is straight and much more manageable as it drys.

I have very kinky (meaning tight, tiny curls that are more like tiny crimps) Dominican hair and it makes my hair poof at the roots as it grows between treatments and whenever I wash it, my mom insists on doing my rollers for me since it's better than just blow drying it, which I agree with. But sometimes I wash my hair without her drying it for me & I don't do anything to it but wash it, comb it very gently out of the shower when it's damp & let it air dry. She tells me that when I do that, the relaxer's effect will wear off. Yet when I Google it, everyone says that air drying is the healthiest thing. The lady that does my hair tells me the same thing that my mom tells me, but I think it's just because she wants us to pay extra for when she trims my split ends (and blow drying makes my split ends way worse). Then I realized that all of the ladies who were asking those questions on Google most likely don't understand or have my hair type.

So what do you think? Which is better in my case: drying with any kind of heat, or air drying & only combing?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Your right, letting your hair air dry is the best thing for your hair and it also helps if you comb it a few times while drying. Blow drying it will make it frizzy and dry a lot of the time. The kinks are from letting it dry on your shoulders. Nothing wrong with your hair, it's completely normal. Not need to fret
