What hairdryer should I buy for my 4b hair?

I’m sorry, but I’m not sure that I believe all of this, at least based on my research. I do know that even under $100, there is a big difference between a $20 blow dryer and a $90 one. Ionic technology makes a big difference, some blow dryers just use a fan to boil the water out of the hair, and some go beyond that. I’ve heard that Dyson quality isn’t as good nowadays too, so I don’t think it’s this simple. I don’t have the space for a hooded dryer, especially since I’m in college. I do agree completely on the hair typing part, I just added it in to give people an idea on what my hair looks like. But I believe that porosity, density and strand thickness are the most important components to consider when creating a hair routine or buying products.

However, I disagree that greases, butters and oils are bad for hair or are a lie, as you say. I don’t use very heavy products because I’m low porosity, but I do know that oils are good for conditioning hair and for sealing in moisture, and many butters are a combination of different oils and other conditioning ingredients. My hair likes lightweight leave ins and hair milks, if a product has ingredients that are too heavy, it just sits on top of my hair. Gel usually leaves my hair feeling weighed down and dry. I’ve never tried foam before, I’m not sure how it works. But for styling, a butter made with ingredients that work with low porosity hair, sealed with a bit of a lightweight oil helps to style my hair and add softness at the same time. But if you have medium or high porosity hair, gel might work better. But I think to call it a lie is too much. I’ve heard so many girls say that their hair because better when they went back to grease and butter.

But thank you anyway!
