Hello Steemians! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend? Mine was somewhat hectic. Part of what I did this weekend was to blow dry my afrokinky 4C low porosity hair.
I had my hair in twists (without extensions) when I got to the salon. Unfortunately, I didn't really have the time to deep condition and prepare the hair from home (including detangling) so that all the hairdressers will have to do is blow dry. So I had to wash my hair in the salon. Surprise surprise for them ! It was the very first time that they were dealing with a black lady's hair. As soon as water was poured on my hair, it shrunk down to about five times the original length and they were very skeptical about the possibility of blow drying my hair. However, at last they discovered that it was possible.
Here a short video while in the beauty salon
Blow drying just had to be done in sections that I twisted
The very last section that was unraveled from twist. Imagine the shrinkage!

Afro-kinky natural hair rocks!
