I have mid-back locs and they usually take a full day and a night to dry. Washed at 6, had the bonnet on by 6:15, fully dry before 7:30. Went to bed with a dry pillowcase for the first time in years.
Your hair shouldn't still be wet at bedtime.
Slips onto the blow dryer you already own, inflates in seconds, and dries locs, braids, twists and curls evenly while your hands stay free.


Still dripping an hour later?
Thick hair, locs and braids hold water. A handheld dryer hits one spot at a time and your arm gives out before the back is dry. Air drying means a wet pillowcase and hair that's still damp tomorrow.
- 12 to 48 hours to air dry locs, braids or thick hair
- That sour smell when it never fully dries
- 45 minutes holding a blow dryer, and the back is still damp
Built for hair that holds water
Locs first. Then braids, twists, curls, coils and any hair that stays wet for hours.

Warm air on every section. Not a nozzle on one spot.
Dry before bed, not tomorrow
Most locs and braids are dry in 35 to 60 minutes on low. Air drying takes 12 to 48 hours.
Fits shoulder to mid-back locs
A 25-inch (64 cm) inflated hood with a crown drawstring. Not a one-size that stops at your ears.
Hands on the dryer
Slip it on your blow dryer, put the bonnet on, and retwist, type, cook or game while it works.
Three steps. Then do literally anything else.
Slip the hose onto your blow dryer
The elastic cuff grips any standard round nozzle. Dyson, Shark, Revlon, Conair, whatever you already own.
Put the bonnet on. It inflates in seconds
Pull the drawstring at the crown, keep your ears outside the band, and set the dryer to low or warm.
Warm air moves through every section
While you do literally anything else. Retwist, type, cook, game. Check it at 40 minutes.
Rated 4.8 by 1,312 wash days
I'm a guy with shoulder-length locs and I had my doubts about the size. It inflates big. Put my dryer on low, played two matches of 2K, done. No more damp hoodie hood all day.
That sour smell when my locs stayed wet for two days was my biggest problem. Not anymore. I retwist under it while it dries and the roots come out tight and dry.

Before you ask
Will it fit shoulder to mid-back locs?
Yes. The hood is 64 cm (25 inches) long and 26.5 cm (10.4 inches) wide when inflated, with a drawstring at the crown and an elastic band at the hairline. Shoulder-length locs sit with room to spare and mid-back locs fit fully inside with the drawstring loosened. If your locs are past mid-back, gather them loosely with a scrunchie before putting the bonnet on so warm air still moves around every section. It takes a little longer, but it works.
Does it work on braids and twists without frizzing them?
Yes, and this is the main reason people with braids switch from a handheld. A blow dryer nozzle pushes hot air straight at the hair and roughs up the cuticle. The bonnet fills with warm air and dries from every direction at a lower intensity, so twists stay smooth and braids set without the fuzz. Use the low setting on your dryer.
Can I deep condition under it with a plastic cap?
Yes. Put your conditioner on, cover with a plastic cap, then put the bonnet over the cap and run your dryer on warm for 15 to 20 minutes. The trapped heat opens the hair so the conditioner goes in deeper. Rinse, then dry under the bonnet without the cap.
Does it fit my blow dryer?
The hose opening stretches to fit standard round nozzles, which covers Dyson, Shark, Revlon, Conair, Remington, BaBylissPRO, Hot Tools and most others. Slide the dryer nozzle in, pull the elastic cuff tight, and it holds. Very small travel dryers and dryers with a flat paddle attachment on may need the attachment removed first. Your dryer is not included.
