However, I usually pull it up for work into a bun. If I leave it down I curl it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it/page/2#post-2596199 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 07:26:56 +0000 lioneyes 2596199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes... but that's because I did a 24 hr Keratin treatment. Now it's wash and wear and looks good enough for every day, but if I'm going out or to the office I still have to "fix" some of the straighter pieces with a curling iron. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it/page/2#post-2596154 Mon, 01 Aug 2016 00:36:00 +0000 erinpye 2596154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When it was straight, it just looked SO flat and terrible when it air dryed. Now that it's curly, if I put some gel in it, it looks good air-dryed. If I don't add a little gel though, it's frizzy on the top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it/page/2#post-2595997 Sun, 31 Jul 2016 15:00:49 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2595997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! It looks terrible.</p> <p>I shower at night, sleep on wet hair, and curl it in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it/page/2#post-2595845 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 18:17:46 +0000 maddyz 2595845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot of fine straight hair (no wave no matter how hard i try). My stylist is amazing. I dont have lots of body, but it looks good with little to no help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it/page/2#post-2595815 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 15:53:23 +0000 Iced Tea 2595815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my hair was straight, it didn't look good air dried. I could get good results only if I did something to liven it up, like a quick blast with the drier or a few passes with the straightener, after airing it. It turned wavy when I was pregnant, and now it air dries okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it/page/2#post-2595797 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 15:20:37 +0000 periwinklebee 2595797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: I am super jealous - I would love that! I'm sure it also doesn't help that I live in a really humid climate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2595784 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 14:31:42 +0000 Bubbles 2595784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes... my hair is chin length and curly. I wash it once a week and put on some curl cream and let it air dry. Day to day I do nothing to it at all, I might run my fingers through it before I leave the house but that's it. I don't even own a hairdryer!</p> <p>@periwinklebee: it depends on the air temperature but mine dries v quick, less than 30 mins I would say. I feel like different textured hair dries differently, mine is really non-porous! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2595781 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 14:04:05 +0000 BelugaBean 2595781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it looks fine. It's fairly curly so I finish it with a coconut frizz serum and some gel. It always looks fine the day I wash it. It gets a little frizzy overnight but I can usually run a flat iron over it and just have looser, slightly more out of control curls. It looks good dried and straightened but that takes way too much time! I also have a satin pillowcase to reduce frizz and I use sulfate/silicone free products which has helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2595775 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 13:15:04 +0000 wrkbrk 2595775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: yes but only bc that was the goal of the cut! My stylist is very pro air drying unless it's absolutely necessary to use heat. So he cut my hair with certain layers so that it looks ok leaving it wet (it's wavy). It still looks BETTER blowdried and straightened but I never do it anymore with an infant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2595745 Sat, 30 Jul 2016 09:31:34 +0000 periwinklebee 2595745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm curious for all those that air dry, how long does that take? I feel like even if I towel my hair thoroughly to try to get the water out, it still takes a few hours to air dry. I'd love to blow dry it less, but I can't show up at work with noticeably wet hair and if I wash it the night before and sleep on it wet, it looks gross. Am I missing something? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592848 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 11:08:58 +0000 macintosh 2592848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a pixie cut, so yes. It's the only way I can deal with my hair these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592802 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:24:54 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2592802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mfa_lady: I had never done anything to my hair before either. I got it done in May and will probably go back in September. I usually go see my stylist every four months for a cut. My hair grows fast. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592777 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:00:45 +0000 mfa_lady 2592777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: Gah, I've always wanted to do this but am too much of a chicken. I've never done ANYTHING to my hair (color, perm, etc). How often do you have to re-do it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592775 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 10:00:16 +0000 mfa_lady 2592775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. My hair is stick-straight and thick but really fine. It mostly looks horrible if it air dries but I do it anyway, because....pregnant with a toddler. Haha. I actually braid it wet at night sometimes so it's wavy the next day. My coworkers call it my T-Swift hair. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592759 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 09:32:31 +0000 nana87 2592759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have curly hair so always air dry. the less I touch it (after putting in products when it's wet) the less frizzy it is </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592686 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:36:17 +0000 babypugs 2592686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: Add in some great poof and you have mine! </p> <p>I am jealous of all of you ladies with amazing hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592684 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:35:28 +0000 avivoca 2592684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It does. I have curly hair though, so I plop it on top of my head with a tshirt for 5-20 minutes, depending on time, run some curl cream through it, and go. I only blowdry in the winter and only enough that it's damp but not sopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592675 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:24:47 +0000 MamaCate 2592675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! As the last girl who cut my hair said, it's not wavy but it has a "bend". So I either dry it or put it up wet--key to solo mornings with two kids before work has been figuring out things to do that look halfway decent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592671 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:21:22 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2592671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I don't style it at all- hell no! My just washed curls with a little serum to keep the frizzies away looks like a wet jerri curl. If I take the time to seperate and put my hair into at least 8-12 big twists, let it dry a bit &amp; then pull it apart that can look nice. That all takes at least 3 hours, so I keep my hair flat ironed straight instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592669 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:17:25 +0000 Caly 2592669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heck no! I've gotta wash and dry it every day. It's wavy/curly so I also use a straightener on it too. If I don't dry it, it's a hot mess. And not a good hot mess. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592668 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:09:44 +0000 josina 2592668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine does not at all... in hs/college I used to be able to put a curl gel in and go, but now its like half straight/half curly and looks awful.<br /> I have to blow dry and straighten if I want it to look good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592667 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 08:09:23 +0000 PeaceLily 2592667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely blow dry my hair anymore. I have straight, fine hair and it actually looks a little fuller if I just let it air dry, so I prefer to not dry it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592655 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:57:38 +0000 MoonMoon 2592655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope it looks ok because I never dry it. It looks awesome when it's blown out, but I never have the patience/skill to do that for myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592654 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:57:31 +0000 catlady 2592654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not if I wear it down, but I only rarely do. My usual is to let it partially air dry in the morning, then put it in a knot or braid. Looks fine that way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592646 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:47:41 +0000 Alivoo01 2592646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>no way jose!! It gets super fluffy and frizzy if I let it air dry. Even DH gets embarrassed about it if we go out and I let it air dry. lol</p> <p>I'm thinking about trying this thing my hair stylist recommended. Takes 1.5 hours to do, but will make my hair stay straight and non-frizzy. Air drying is highly recommended with it too! I just need to find time to get it done. I'm also scared I'll love it too much and want it done all the time, which could mean $$ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592639 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:42:08 +0000 csross217 2592639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Mine is chin length, thick and a bit wavy and just flips out randomly when let it air dry. The only way it looks good is if i blow dry and straighten it, which is a lot harder to do now with a 3 month old. I'm trying to grow it out so that I can at least throw it up in a ponytail if it's bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592636 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:36:17 +0000 cnidaria 2592636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is dead straight, so it looks pretty much identical regardless of whether it's air-dried or blow-dried. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592632 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:32:34 +0000 KayKay 2592632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it can, but it's not like I can just do nothing and walk out the door. It still needs some sort of product and/or tousling (?). And it looks like crap until it's 100% dried (that in-between stage is terrible), which takes a long time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-hair-look-good-if-you-dont-dry-it#post-2592631 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:31:31 +0000 Smurfette 2592631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No! It is half wavy, part straight but all frizzy. </p>
