Thick hair, locs and braids hold water. Air drying means dripping down your back all afternoon, a wet pillowcase, and hair that's still damp the next morning. That's where the sour smell starts.
The elastic cuff grips any standard round nozzle. Dyson, Shark, Revlon, Conair, whatever you already own.
Pull the drawstring at the crown, keep your ears outside the band, and set the dryer to low or warm.
While you do literally anything else. Retwist, type, cook, game. Check it at 40 minutes.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Only as hot as you set your dryer. Start on low or warm, not high. The air spreads across the whole hood instead of hitting one spot, so it feels like warm air moving around your head, not a nozzle on your scalp. If the crown feels too warm, drop to cool for a minute or loosen the drawstring. Keep your ears outside the elastic band.
Yes, as long as you stay within hose reach of your dryer. The elastic hairline band and the crown drawstring keep it seated. People use it while retwisting, typing, gaming, cooking at the counter, or lying on the couch with the dryer on the floor beside them. It is not for walking around the house, because the dryer has to sit somewhere.
Yes. Around a third of the Adé Crew are men with locs, and it is the only hair tool most of them own. It fits a fade with locs on top, a full head of shoulder-length locs, or high-top twists. No chin strap needed. Put it on, pull the drawstring, do what you were doing.
Most people with locs or braids are fully dry in 35 to 60 minutes on low, down from 12 to 48 hours air drying. Dense or very long hair takes closer to the hour. Curls and coils are usually dry in 20 to 35 minutes. Squeeze the extra water out with a microfibre towel first and you will shave 10 minutes off that.

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.
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.
Fresh knotless braids are heavy with water. It took me a little over an hour on low, which still beats the day and a half I used to wait. Took one star because the hose could be longer.
I put my plastic cap on, bonnet over it, 20 minutes on warm. My hair has never been this soft. Then I take the cap off and dry under it. Two uses in one.
Got this for my 16 year old who refuses to sit under anything. He uses it while he games. I used it once and ordered a second one for me.
Blow drying my twists directly always made them fuzzy. The warm air in here is gentle and even, so the twists stay smooth and set properly.
Wet locs in January in Toronto is not it. Now I wash at night, dry in under an hour, and leave the house with a dry head. Cold scalp problem solved.
I do my own roller sets and this gives me the salon-style hood without the salon-style price. Fits all my rollers with room to spare.
Mid-back locs, it covers everything. Only note is you need to sit near your dryer. I put mine on the nightstand and it's fine.
I always slept on a towel after wash day. Now I wash, dry, and actually sleep on my silk pillowcase like a normal person.
I've had locs for 9 years and basically accepted that wash day meant a damp head until tomorrow. This fixed it in one use. My scalp doesn't itch anymore either.
