Hello, all!My daughter (age 3) is sporting her first set of dreads. They look beautiful and are locking up naturally very nicely. I wash her hair every three-four days. On the evenings that I wash her hair I've been towel drying well and then doing a bit of blow drying on the lowest heat setting. Not only do I not want her going to bed with a wet head, but we live in the mountains in MT at 7000+ above sea level and it snows here 9 months out of the year. I really don't want her walking around with a wet head when temps are that low. So my question is, could the blow drying on low damage her beautiful dreads? I've always read and heard about how bad daily blow drying is on hair, but I wonder if only doing it every few days on low is all that bad.Thank you!
