I just used a sieve to dry my hair...

[TheBabyAteMyBrain]

And it did a better job on my curls than a defuser ever has. More volume and better definition!

I really didn't expect much from it but I hate my hair drying naturally, it's long, thick and the dc think it's great fun to pull out of my scalp. My defuser met its demise under my toddlers arse, thank god for nappy cushioning! And I found this DIY on good old google. Think I'll stick with the sieve method now! 😂

It's been shoved in a ponytail to keep sticky fingers out. Rather pleased with it

How did you dry your hair with a sieve?

Is it a case of putting your hair in the sieve then putting it on your head and blow drying it?

Basically @INeedNewShoes. Dangled hair in, scooped it up to the head and blasted with the hairdryer. Took all of 10 mins.

I need to know what you did! I have hair like you and can't be bothered to diffuse but this looks interesting!

I shall be nicking this, thanks

Wow, I'm going to need a bigger sieve! Wondering if a cullender would work...?😆

So the hairdryer dried your hair but the sieve acted as a defuser. Good work, I will try this!

Was it a plastic sieve? Or a metal one, (bad for the hair I'd think)

Yeah, okay, technically the hairdryer dried my hair but typing 'I dried my hair with a hairdryer' didnt seem to have the right impact

I did consider running around the house with the sieve on my head to airdry but it felt like too much exercise a bit too much tinfoil hat for my liking.

Wow your hair looks absolutely beautiful!
What kind of sieve? I only have a metal one?!

Bog standard metal sieve from Wilcos I believe.

Ooh I'm trying this 👌

Oh my god, I'm trying this.

But where is your head? Is this not a wig?Do you not have a head?

@Funguy yes I have a head, and no it's not a wig it's an awkward picture of the back of my head while hair is in a ponytail.

It's also not a perm, and no you can't touch it... 😂

Would it not get hot and burn you? Maybe not the mesh bit, but the edge/rim?

Your curls look fab though!

Do you mean a cookery seive like you use for flour? I didn't think they were made in head size.

Or a colander for straining things? Seems more likely

Or a garden sieve for removing stones from soil? You would need a very flat head for this one.

I twist my hair in knots and clip it out of the way when it is part dry but it isn't as good as yours so am going to get the spare colander out.

Just replying to say your hair is gorgeous!

The magical sieve...

Why did I picture a colander? I couldn't understand how it worked I'm not ready to adult yet...

Your hair looks amazing btw!

I thought of colander - which is not the hair sieve. It makes more sense now.

I'm doing the curly girl method and now not even drying my hair with a dryer.washed it last night around 6:00 pm still damp this morning but great curl definition today ! Great idea ... will try it !

Your hair is fabulous, TheBabyAteMyBrain you have no idea what I would give to have hair like yours!

Ooh lovely curls. What products do you use?
