The rain ruined my brushing!

I have normal hair

The rain weighs them down and they bundle up. We start by wringing them out (with a towel, otherwise with paper towels, as handkerchiefs tend to tear), from the root to the tips. Dry your hair as soon as possible (with a hair dryer or, failing that, with a hand dryer) and style it to prevent it from becoming electric.

I have fine, flat hair

As they dry, they stick (even more) on the skull. To avoid this, we wring them out and then massage the scalp with the pulp of the fingers:this helps to loosen the roots and undo the packets that may have formed. You can also shake your head back and forth:it speeds up drying while bringing lightness.

I have thick, frizzy hair

Once dry, they frizz thoroughly, especially around the edge of the face and on the top of the head. To discipline them, we wring out the hair and brush it back. If possible, dry it while continuing to style it and flatten the small rebels with a veil of hairspray. If you don't have anything on hand, the best option is to tie your hair back and style the frizzy ones until dry.

I have afro hair

Two scenarios:if they are straightened, they are porous. So they absorb water and moisture, but remain very smooth; if they are natural, they swell and curl as they dry. We squeeze the straightened fiber well, we style it without pulling (it is more fragile than a natural hair) and we let it dry in the open air. If you have natural hair, comb it with a wide-tooth comb, flattening it as much as possible. The best is to dry it by combing it. Impossible ? Comb the hair back and tie it up or stash it under a hat until it's dry.
