How do I dry 10mo DD's hair after a bath?

This might seem a flamingly obvious question, but how do I make sure that DD doesn't go to bed with wet hair after a bath?

Up till now I've just towel-rubbed but as her hair gets thicker and the weather gets colder it's taking longer and longer.

Is it okay to use a hair dryer on a low setting?

I've used a hairdrier on DD for ages - no problem. Just keep it moving.

My DD nearly always goes to bed with wet hair after its been washed and its never done her any harm.

does it matter? we let dd have a towel over the pillows after towel drying and the swipe it an hour or so later once it's dry.

I used a hairdrier from early on as dd had so much hair - use a setting that is not too hot and keep it moving so as not to concentrate too much heat in one area.

what Grimma said - though it is towel dried and plaited so just damp by the time she goes to bed.

Not sure about letting her go to bed with wet hair - she's got a bad cold and I don't think it would do her any good.

Hair dryer, used carefully. I wouldn't like to go to bed with wet hair so I wouldn't make DD do it.

Boy hair is so much simpler, BabyDragon was a shock

I've used a hairdryer on my two ds's since they were a few months old. It is better to et them used to it at a young ago imo
