Question & Answer
My long 4C hair takes forever to dry. How do I do a twist out?
This is a major challenge. You must wait for the hair to be 100% dry. This may mean styling on hair that is already partially dry or using a hooded dryer on low heat for 1-2 hours to speed up the process before air drying the rest of the way.
