Braid-outs and winter

[leona2025]

I've been doing more braid outs lately. With the weather getting cold and school and work, I don't have time to let my braid outs air dry. Does anyone here dry their braids under a dryer? How long does it take? Do you get the same results as air drying them?

Y not do damp braids instead of wet. I dampen my hair @ night and braid and in the morning they are dry..

I wash my hair at night so my braids are done at night and dry by the morning. Sylver2 drys under a dryer and she has a YouTube video showing her technique.

I agree with the PP. Try braiding on damp hair and sitting under the dryer for about 20 min before you go to bed to help set your hair. This has worked well for me in the past. If my hair is ever still slightly damp in the morning, I will give it a quick blow dry with low heat before undoing the braids.
