Green Hair Care, Part 2: How to Dry and Style Your Fabulous Curls

Okay, so I know it's been quite a while since the first part of this series, but if you're still hanging on wondering what to do with your hair after you've washed and conditioned it, not only am I duly impressed by your dedication, your patience is about to pay off in a big way... it's time to dry and style!

I'm really sorry, but this guide only applies to curly-headed people as yet. If anyone requests it, I would be happy to do some research on what works best for other types of hair.

Here are the supplies I use:

• wide-toothed comb,
• flour sack towels (these are cheap and work perfectly) or a t-shirt,
• for fancy days:
• hair gel,
• a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment.

First, let's talk about each implement and its intended purpose. Then, we'll get into the actual steps. Check it out after the jump.
