Best Bonnet/Hooded Dryer For Curly, Natural or Black Hair

by Stephanie Sanchez

If air-drying your hair hasn’t worked out for you in the past, and you are scared of heat damage, these are good reasons to find yourself the best hood dryer you can for your natural curly hair.

Hooded hairdryers and bonnets dissipate excess water from your hair and stretch your curls without drying your scalp or hair out. Hooded Dryers help prevent kinks from matting by sleeping overnight on your hair while it’s still damp.

What does natural curly hair need?  To be hydrated, to retain moisture, to promote smoothness, and a diffuser effect so curls stay in clumps and won’t frizz.

In this article, we will talk about features that promote beautiful curl formations and eliminate the frizz effect. 

Main features to look for when choosing a hood that best suits curly, natural and kinky coily hair are:

  • Hair Steamers​
  • Ionic Setting​
  • Speed Control or Low Wind Effect​

Best Types of Bonnet and Hood Dryers For Natural, Black and Curly Hair

Hair Steamers

Hair steamers are a great way to moisturize your hair and enhance curl without the whole washing/conditioning process. 

Hair steamers are also a great way to do your weekly conditioning treatments. The steam allows products to penetrate deeply into the hair shaft and no worries about products drying out and getting hard.

Ionic Hairdryers 

 The main purpose of ionic dryers is they reduce frizz by eliminating static and promote smoother hair and speed drying time.  However, negative ions also help close the cuticle of the hair shaft and thus help you retain natural moisture in your hair.
