What we will accomplish in this lesson:

This video lesson will show you how to create easy waves using your hood dryer!

The concept is easy! Just style the hair using the techniques outlined in the Air-Drying Course and sit under a hood dryer to dry.

Buns, Single Braids, French Braids, Bantu knots can all be applied to wet hair and dried under a hood dryer.

The end result is wavy or curly hair with a little extra bounce and softness!

In this video lesson, I do a quick braid set that I wear down or style in a curly bun that is perfect for work, school or busy weekends.
