Q: If your child has thick or long hair...

how do you dry it before bed? I towel dry Ava's hair, but she's starting to hate it.
She's terrified of the blow dryer. When I dry my hair, she runs out screaming, "daaaad!".

It works wonders. If you do her bath a little earlier than usual and comb through it with a wide-toothed comb, it'll do just fine.

That's what I used all of freshman year because I had swimming and there were no outlets for blowdryers.

Never knew that they made that. I'll have to dry it. My hair's thick and I normally just braid it in one fat braid if I wash it before bed. That way I don't wake up with fierce tangles. I hate the hair dryer. It is the enemy. I'm going to have to try that as my night time shampoo. Day time can stay the same. Laughing

it seems hair dryers don't have the 'negative' affects on kids, lol. I have one, but it has about an inch of dust on it Laughing

Loreal kids make some GREAT products. the Anti-Tangle one is GREAT. I'll probably have to invest in that once my baby grows up...

Do you use the hair dryer yourself? If she sees you doing it, she might realise its ok.

Yes, I blow dry my hair every morning and she freaks. She hates it. I'll try blowing it out with a cool blow dryer. I'll try to find one that doesn't make much noise.

Well the thing is we go straight from the bathroom to the bedroom. Our bedtime routine's getting longer b/c she's been wanting to read so many books, so it hasn't been that wet going to bed. It still bothers me though, so I'll try that shampoo.
