Great to know this worked for you. I can never do a good straight blow dry on myself so I have to go to a hairdresser. My mother who professes to be the queen of hot appliances on natural hair and 4a 4b hair warned me that if I did it on my own that it was very important to get the roots to tips straight or it would cause dryness and breakage. I could never get it straight because my hands get tired fast and then I would compensate by using more heat and only get some parts straight. When my mother would tell me that my hair didn't come out straight I would argue that my hair didn't respond well to heat or that my hair texture was coarser than hers. Now I realise I was wrong, I was not using the tension method and my hair wasn't getting straight and would snap off a lot after combing because the hair textures were not uniform.. Best, Almond Eyes
