QuestionShould you let your hair air dry before blow drying?Drew Hawkins1Community AnswerYou do want your hair to be partially dry before you blowdry it so it's not as frizzy and doesn't take as long to blowdry. You can let your hair air dry for a bit before you blowdry it, or you can use a towel to blot it so it's not sopping wet. If you do use a towel, avoid rubbing, squeezing, or twisting your hair, which can damage it.
