I'm having a hard time getting my hair to dry after a wash. I'm trying to avoid using heat. What I've been doing is right when I get home from work (about 5:00 pm) I co-wash my hair, ring out excess water, t-shirt dry or pat with towel, apply my leave-ins and style for the night in braids and/or twists, usually gather all the twists/braids and put them in a loose bun. I sleep with a bonnet on. The following morning (about 14 hours later) my twists are still wet to the point where I don't want to undo them because when my hair finishes drying it will get frizzy. My hair doesn't fully finish drying until maybe around 3 pm the next day and I sit with a space heater next to me blowing on my upper body all day long (not good for my hair I know but my office is too cold that cardigans/sweaters don't even help).
Should I air dry my hair a little bit before or after putting in my leave-ins? My fear is that if I do this, when I put my twists/braids in, my hair will be frizzy.
Are my twists/braids or bun preventing my hair from drying?
Should I blow dry my twists/braids on cool?
I don't want to dry out the moisture provided by the leave-ins but I don't want my hair to simply be wet.
