Now that he's 7 we usually towel dry it at night & then wet it, brush it, and blow dry it in the morning if we're going somewhere... otherwise he has crazy boy hair. lol Mrs. Sunglasses on "How do you dry your kid's hair?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-dry-your-kids-hair#post-35008 Thu, 15 Dec 2011 21:28:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 35008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Right now it's air dried. But if we have to leave the house and it's wet, I pull out the hair dryer (at the medium or low heat) and blowdry it.

So does my infant for her age. It's the first thing people say when they meet them... "my gosh, they have so much hair!" Anyway, I just towel dry a lot, comb out tangles, towel dry again, comb... Then air dry. They still go to sleep with semi-damp hair sometimes, but it's not that bad. By the time they are dressed, books are read, prayers are said, etc... It's just as dry as its gonna get. I just don't think my toddler is ready for a blowdryer yet. Would love to hear what other moms do!

I have a million silly questions! But how are we supposed to know these things?

But her hair just consists of a tiny little mohawk with a swirl in the back. My mom towel dried our hair when we were babies. Good question! Especially now that it's getting cold outside soon.... or for most people on here it has been cold for months.

We wash her hair right before bed and I towel dry it as best I can but it's still slightly wet when she goes to bed. You don't use blow dryers on babies or toddlers right? Right before bed is the only time that I can wash her hair so I am wondering how to get it all dry before she goes to bed as she gets more and more hair. Her scalp is already dry so I think blow drying would be bad, not to mention probably freak her out. What do you all do?
